How long does post-op redness last after a hair transplant?

Post-op redness in both the donor area and the recipient area varies from person to person. Typically, African Americans and other men with darker/tanner skin will experience the least amount of post-op redness with a faster return to normal. Caucasian men with very pale skin will also heal perfectly fine, but they may experience some lingering redness for slightly longer before returning to normal.
