Question:
How long after a hair transplant can I use some of the topical concealers like Courve to cover the scar? How long will the wound be very visible?
Answer:
Believe it or not the donor wound closes and seals itself rapidly which is why the staples / sutures can be removed after only ten days. In my opinion it's better to wait until the staples / sutures are removed before using any topical concealer like Courve Dermmatch, Nanogen, or Toppik on the scar area.
A donor scar takes approximately one year to fully heal and mature with no signs of discoloration (redness / pinkness). Additionally temporary donor shock loss can occur in the first couple months and take a few months longer for hair growth to return. Many hair transplant patients however, are lucky and don't experience any donor area shock loss.
