Redness in recipient area 1 month post op FUE. How can it be reduced? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 8
Some patients may have redness after surgery. It is best to contact your doctor for treatment options (not the Internet). There may be many answers or opinions on the Internet but your doctor (who performed surgery on you and knows your medical history) can give you the best advice.

Redness in the recipient zone following a hair transplant procedure will generally resolve in 10-14 days. Persistent redness may be due to normal post-surgical healing, but may also represent an inflammatory process such as seborrheic dermatitis or acne and occasional an infection. I would recommend to follow up with your physician for an evaluation. Sometimes a topical steroid or an antibiotic may be indicated.

Time, my friend. The steroids will probably help the most. Skip the witch hazel. For some patients the redness lasts months - it just depends on the patient's skin type. It will go away with time, though.Good Luck!

Great question. Looks like you had a good session with fair bit of dense packing, which is leading to your troubles. Microneedling with platelet rich plasma at the time of surgery as well as between 4-6 weeks out has been demonstrated in the literature to decrease the amount of redness you have on your recipient area. Its not a miracle cure - but it does improve how quickly you get back up on your feet. Remember, everyone is a little different in their healing. And while techniques in implantation vary, some people just take longer than others in completely healing. Best of luck.

I would recommend that you see your doctor about this. Most redness would subside before a month, and even if it did last a month it wouldn't be as severe as the pictures show. It could possibly be an infection or some other underlying cause.
