I Still See Holes in the Donor Area Over a Week After FUE!

Hello!

I had a hair transplant “FUE” 8 days ago. I can still see the holes in the donor area. Do you know how long is the average healing time for the scars? Should I worry? Also, do you know of any products that will help the skin recover?

Thanks a lot for your time!

The tiny holes in the back of the head that are created from a follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure should disappear very shortly. What you may be seeing are scabs, not the holes, and this requires a vigorous shampooing technique to get rid of the scabbing.

Your surgeon should’ve provided you with aftercare instructions that explained how to wash your donor and recipient area.
