FUE heat. Any suggestions?

Question

I have to work in Arizona where the heat is up to 110°. Would this be a problem for healing from an FEU and could this level of heat harm the grafts

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is best to see your doctor and follow your doctor's recommendations. Many patients in Arizona and in hot climates have surgery without issues.

As long as you avoid excessive sunlight for the first few months, and excessive sweating for the first few days, the heat shouldn't pose an issue for your scalp to heal correctly.

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Thank you for posting your question. After a FUE procedure, you want to make sure your scalp is nice and clean and avoid any unnnesesary sweating since you will not be able to use your fingers to clean your grafted sites. After 2 or 3 weeks, once you resume your normal activities and washes, your grafts will be completely safe. Just make sure you clean your scalp after a long warm day. Hope this helps.

Once you are fully healed and there are no crusts on your recipient area, the heat should not be a problem other than from your comfort point of view
