Concealer and minoxidil - Post FUE, can I use these products?

July 31, 2017
Asked By:CliffLee in United Kingdom

I understand that concealer and minoxidil can be used roughly 2 weeks post a hair transplant, if all the crusts/scabs have come off. I still have some pinkness on the top/sides of my head. The sides of my head (temple point, to the top of my hairline) are a little more red. This was explained to me before the surgery. Can I still use these products?

Sara Salas, MD says:

 In my opinion I would do a one time fue session on this because it’s extremely small, and you should be finished forever since you have no issues with male pattern baldness. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 grab should take care of that area specially since you have great hair characteristics.
