My skin is still red after a beard transplant. What is happening? (Photo)

gcttJul 5, 2017
Hello, my skin is still red after Beard Transplant 1 month and 8 days ago. I pulled some hairs with a tweezer, and it left some red spots (Pic) 1- I'm taking Minocin that is a treatment for rosácea. Did the transplant caused rosácea? 2- Is it normal this kind of redness? 3- I used steroid cream for the redness for 1 week non stop. 4- My skin is still not very flexible. 5- Will this redness persist? 6- Many of the hairs stayed. 7- My transplant area looks very bright like porcelain. Before/Afte.

You may dye your beard and go back to the gym 6 weeks after your beard transplant. There is no risk for the grafts anymore.

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.

Beard area may restored with HT.You may plan  a hair transplant surgery from scalp skin follicular units to beard area with FUE to have facial hair.If the patient needs a full face transplantation as in your case , at least 3000-3500 grafts would better to harvest and transplant...
