How long should it takes for one to see final healing result from FUE

Since FUE is less invasive tham FUT, you can expect, generally, shorter healing periods.

 

This healing period varies from person to person, so it is hard to say exactly, the healing time.

 

I should think, that safely, after 2 months you should be fine.

take care...

Depends what you mean by heal.

 

In my case, the back hair grew in a few weeks long enough to cover the donor. However, I have a ton of shockloss on the sides and the red dots are still visible at 1.5mos. So, I assume they would be visible on the back if my donor was shaved.

The scar tissue in the donor area can take more than a year to fully develop. It will generally look best at around 3 months to 6 months when the pinkness fades and matches the surrounding scalp. But the scars are still forming under the surface and often turn out a lighter shade when fully developed.

 

The same holds true for FUE and Strip.

How long till the pain dies down (strip-method)?

 

Really depends on size of procedure. The larger the session, the tighter is the scar, thus more pain will likely last longer. 7-10 days seems to be the average.

 

As for me, no pain the next day, but i had only 2000 grafts.

I had 1,000 fue grafts done by Dr Feller 10 days ago and I would say I'm about 85% healed,very little redness in the front and back. If it weren't for the shaving of the donor and recipient area, it would be 100% not noticeable. Hope this helps.
