When can I shave my head after a FUE hair transplant? (photo)

Question

I would like to shave my head after a hair transplant, how long do I have to wait? Am I allowed to use a razor or only a machine with grade 0?

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

After a FUE hair transplant operation it is better to wait  1 month for your donor area and 6 months for the transplanted area to use a razor or machine with grade 0.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  You can shave when your wounds have healed.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Almost all grafts take 6 weeks  after hair transplant or some of them lost anyway and you can start to your normal life and do razor or only a machine with grade 0 .

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

After an FU"e you can shave one weeks after all of the crusts are off and the recipient wounds can not be seen
