All hair transplant patients may resume light exercise 1 week after the procedure (walking 1-2 miles/day encouraged), avoiding sun exposure to donor or recipient sites. Most FUE patients can resume moderate exercise (jogging, cardio machines, etc) after all scabs have fallen off and the donor sites are healed (minimum 2 weeks) with return to full unrestricted exercise at 1 month. All FUT patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise and extremes in blood pressure (heavy weight lifting) for at least (minimum) one month (4.5 weeks), especially exercises where a bar rests behind the head (squats, etc). Injury could easily cause unfavorable scarring of the donor area and is not worth the risk.
