Out of FUE hair transplant post-surgery lotions. Any replacements?

Question

I did an FUE hair transplant surgery in Turkey and I am out of the Panthenol cream they recommended. What alternatives are there? Is it okay to mix Bepanthen with aloe vera and vitamin E? What other, even if over the counter, products can be used?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

There are many products out there but it would be best to contact your doctor for their specific recommendation.

John Peter Cole, MD · Answer

A very good option include Haircycle products including the post surgical biotin spray, and SLS free shampoo.  You can obtain these products from haircycle.com.  They were specifically designed for those experiencing hair loss and those who have hair restoration surgery.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

Any kind of lotion will help, you don't need to choose a specific type. Your doctor can recommend a good replacement for the Panthenol cream they were having you use to help your hair and scalp.
