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

C
CliffLeeJul 31, 2017

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?

Dear renzodavi,Thank you for posting this question. The truth is that after a hair transplant using either FUE or the FUT (linear strip) method, 4 weeks is plenty of time to wait until resuming high-intensity MMA training. The wounds will have had plenty of time to heal, and you will not d...
