Can I shave the recipient area after a FUE Transplant?

March 29, 2018
Asked By:MarkPietta in Toronto, ON

I had an FUE hair transplant procedure just under one month ago, with 2000 grafts along my hairline. At this point there is significant shock loss which has made the area patchy and unpleasant to look at. I've been gently clipping the area with a small pair of scissors recently, but is it possible for me to (very carefully) use a gilette multi-blade razor to shave down the recently grafted hairs until they fully sprout?
