A concealer will help blend the tone. The pinkness may be there for several more months. Maintaining a healthy diet is key, and definitely avoiding sunburns is too.

Yea I guess waiting is the hardest part. Isn't that from a Tom Petty song?
Does FUE redness heal quicker than FUT? Just curious.

In most of case red scalp is found after hair transplant as incisions made on the scalp recover from injuries.

Here's a Crocodile Dundy response:
That's not a red scalp...THIS is a red scalp: see pic
Redness occurs after all trauma. Its worse the younger you are and the whiter you are. Meaning an irish guy like this with red hair...will definitely be red in the recipient zone for up to 6 or 8 weeks...and possibly really red requiring concealer. Strenuous activity increases the blood flow and will make it even redder until the person settles down after the activity is over.
A dark person like me would see a bit of pink in the recipient area for a few weeks tops.
But it goes away. See second picture.

Post-op redness related to the incisions immediately following the procedure is much different than post-op redness that lingers for months on end.
The redness related to the incisions usually heals and dissipates within a reasonable amount of time (30-90 days).
Lingering post-op redness that lasts beyond say three months calls for special treatment and can be sometimes successfully managed with a topical steroid cream.
Lingering post-op redness should be brought to the doctor's attention for advice and care, and especially before using steroid creams.
