Toppik use after hair transplant?

Question

Can I use toppik on hair and scalp 2.5 months after FUT? Will this compromise any growth? Wouldn't the chemicals harm the hair?

Michael Vories, MD · Answer

We tell our patients that using Toppik or other concealers 2 months after a hair transplant procedure is safe and should cause any problem with permanent hair growth.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Many people use concealers such as Toppik days after surgery.  If you are concerned about its use, speak with your doctor.

Glenn Charles, DO · Answer

At two months post op, using hair fibers is completely fine. iI fact, you can likely return to all normal activity at this point. There is not much you can do to harm the grafts at this stage and hair fibers can help fill in the area while waiting for your new hair growth..

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

Generally you would be safe to use Toppik starting at two weeks. So at two and a half months it should really be safe for you to use.

There should be no problem using
topic 2.5 months after your FUT procedure. 
In fact, we tell   
patients that after the first week
when their wound has nicely closed, they may use Toppik.

Justin Misko, MD · Answer

every physician is different with post operative instructions. However, almost all physicians agree that you can return to products when the scabs are gone. Therefore, at 2 1/2 months post op there aren't any restrictions for use of topik.
