When will I see results from my transplant?

Modern FUE hair transplants leave virtually no visible scarring, and are visually superior to the old "strip" (FUT) method. However, any cosmetic surgery that involves penetration of the skin can sometimes leave a minuscule amount of minor scarring behind. In the case of FUE hair transplants, those theoretical scars are the size of tiny pinpricks — and you have the benefit of covering and concealing them with your hair.

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.

You can shower the day after the procedure, however we do ask that you follow a special protocol for washing your hair as we want the newly transplanted follicles to firmly take root and avoid any trauma that could knock them loose.

Absolutely, and this is extremely common in the days and weeks following your procedure. It's critically important in those first few days post-op that you avoid disturbing and jostling the newly transplanted hairs.

We ask that you not exercise after a hair transplant for three days following the surgery. After three days feel free to return to your normal exercise routine without any worries. The only actions we would like you to avoid for 1 week are wearing a helmet and swimming.

We ask that you take the rest of the day off after your surgery. However, theoretically, you could return to work the next day. A high percentage of men take off at least a few days following their surgery, and/or schedule several consecutive work-from-home days after the surgery.
