Can you use Bepanthol lotion instead of gel to style your hair after a hair transplant?

November 17, 2017
Asked By:Alisaeki in London

I was given Bepanthol lotion after hair transplant and told to leave it for 30 min then wash it off. I was wondering, if I could leave it for a whole day to style my hair as I don’t want to use any gel because of bad experiences in the past. I must mention I have quiet oily scalp. Many thanks

Jae Pak, MD says:

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  Results vary from patient to patient. Results vary from doctor to doctor. That is why you have to pick the right doctor and be the right patient (with the right expectation).

Justin Rome, MD says:

This is something I would take up with the Doctor that performed your surgery.  Having redness post surgery 3 weeks after is not a common thing. He should definitely see you if you call and explain this to him/her.
