Should a person plan to take any time off for recovery after my FUE hair transplants? How long should a person take off? And how long does it take for the treated area to be/look fully healed?

Answer: How long to take off of work? This depends on the number of hair grafts, your length of hair, hair transplant surgeon and teams skill level and location of grafts and ranges from 3-7 days. Additional factors include the caliber (size) of the FUE harvesting tool (smaller=faster recovery). For my own hair transplant (performed by my partner), I did it on a Friday and returned to work on Monday using a stealth technique and regenerative factors to allow my donor area to heal faster. About 40% of my patients utilize the rapid recovery approach and are back to work faster. An additional factor is the use of HairGrow9x which helps prevent crusting and irritation post procedure. A precious commodity for patients is time. With newer techniques such as the use of regenerative medicine and other technical factors, patients with the right type of hair loss can recover more rapidly than before. Best. Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Time off Swelling usually goes down by a week after which you can resume light activity. You can go back to work at this point if you don't mind questions such as 'have you had a hair transplant?' If you dont want anyone to know take two weeks off work.

Answer: How long do FUE hair transplants take to heal? Hello, Thank you for your question. It takes usually 10 days to heal your donor area and lees than that need for transplanted area. Of course each person healing time is different and also transplanted graft number is important. Usually I recommend to my patients take 5 days off.
