Toppik use after hair transplant?

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?

Is it Safe to Use Hair Fibers After a Hair Transplant?

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}

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..

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.

At 2 months you can use Toppik or doing anything with your hair that you did prior to the surgery as now you are normal and just waiting for the hair to grow out

·        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.

Topik after a transplant

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}

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.
