Asked By:pablo s. in San Diego, CA

I had a FUE procedure just a few days ago and my doctor gave me all the usual warnings against excercise I am really missing my exercise routine (running 3x per week, weights 3x per week). Why is exercise such a risk? Is it the sweating? The vibration to the scalp? The risk of trauma?
