Taking a normal shower after FUE?

Hello,Congratulations of your hair restoration.  I  would check with your surgeon first about his/her protocol for showering after FUE.  I have my patients shower the day after the procedure but not with aggressive rubbing or high pressure initially.  Most surgeons will have you wait 10-14 days before resuming normal showering.  Again, I would be sure to check with your particular doctor first prior to showering or rubbing your scalp.Best of Luck with your healing!Dr. Rednam

I recommend to my patients to avoid the direct water pressure the first month post-op.
once the transplanted hair fall then no risk of damaging the graft. The first month is recommended to wash every 2 days.

you can start to take normal shower after 1 week directly under the shower to remove all the scrubs. For every doctor the post up process is different so it is better if you ask your doctor

Ask your doctor what to do if you have concerns. You should not take high pressure showers after surgery.  Wait until your grafts have healed.

I tell my patients to take a shower the night after the surgery but only use a cup of water to pour water on the head. No pressure at all this way. After 3 days they can resume using normal shower pressure and also use their fingers with shampoo to start softening up the scabs. Also keep the scalp nice and clean. The main goal of showering is to get rid of the serum that leaks out of the recipient sites as well as the grease that comes out of the oil glands of the scalp. Both act as nice nourishment for bacteria. Like ice cream. Washing it away once per day reduces the bacteria count by millions. Lower chance for pimples and other infections.

You can use shampoo 48 hours after surgery and, then, every day during at least one week. Use a ph-balanced shampoo: put some water and shampoo in a plastic recipient and start to massage your hair, the grafted hair and the scar with your fingers and thumb. To rinse your hair, during the first days, pour some water over your head using a receptacle. On the fifth day after surgery, you can use directly the shower jet on your head. As regards the donor zone, the suture must be regularly and energetically washed (using a small brush for example): this will avoid crusting, which impedes scarring and the removal of stitches. If you wish, you can start cleaning the donor area from the first night onwards in order to remove any traces of blood.

We advise high pressure showers at day 14. Check with your surgeon for specific advice. Each of day 1-7 and 7-14 has specific goals to be accomplished and the grafts have to be taken care of perfectly!Please review your surgeon's protocols - everyone is different.

Showers and washing your hair should be done gently until all of the crusts are off. High pressure showers for the first two weeks can possibly cause grafts to come out. 

it is usually better to wait until the grafts are set in before returning to normal shampooing routine. We usually suggest to start washing hair gently after two days until 10 days after the procedure. However after 10-14 days you can be a bit more aggressive.
