How noticable will it be after the transplant?
There are 2 issues here: The first is the natural serum crusting that occurs at the base of the grafts after the transplantation. With frequent spraying of the scalp and gentle shampooing this can be kept to a minimum. The second issue is redness. Some patients get no redness while others can have a little redness for 2-3 weeks. While spraying helps, redness appears to be a little bit of an individual characteristic. Normally, transplants are hard to detect after 7 days, but a person with some hair to cover the grafts may have no problems at all. It may be desirable for a person to take off 7-10 days after the first transplant, particularly if he or she has advanced baldness.
