How long should I wait after hair transplant before applying Dermmatch?

tiredraffiNov 22, 2017
Good afternoon. I had a small filling session of 550 grafts two weeks ago. Today I had crusts removal and my doctor said that everything was fine, it's just a bit sore at the moment since the procedure of crusts removal at the clinic is a bit tough. My doctor said that, except sport for other two weeks, I am free to do everything, even apply the concealer. I wear short hair, so I mostly have to rub it on the scalp (very gently of course). Is it ok according to your opinion to pat Dermmatch on the scalp?

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative or pre operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.There is no firm start or stop time frame of using minoxidil other than it may irritate the newly transplanted grafts.

You should be fine to start wearing a cap at 16 days post op as it usually takes about 2 weeks to heal. You may also resume regular activities such as going to the gym, jogging, swimming, etc.

Dear captaingrooveThanks for the question. Before all, your current physical and mental health condition should be fine. Your donor site which is the back of scalp should have adequate supply of hair to extract and this amount should be enough to restore an acceptable large portion of the bald ...
