Is procapil shampoo and spray needed after FUE Hair Transplant

Question

I had fue in istanbul. After the surgery the dr suggested to use after care shampoo and procapil spray for 6 months. My concern is that the product is so expensive for me. 374$ . Now my question is the procapil needed after fue ? I have other natural hair with potential risks to fall.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  In general, you don't need any supplements after surgery.

An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area, but the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. Within 3 days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish. The recipient area requires daily washes as well to keep the recipient area free of crusts. I generally recommend the use of a sponge and supply my patient with a surgical sponge to fill with soapy water and press on the recipient area daily. By repeating this daily, all crusts can be washed off without any fear of losing grafts. IF any crust is present, use a Q tip and dip it into soapy water, and roll it on the crusts and that will lift them off without dislodging them, but never rub them, just roll the Q tip on the recipient crust. I like to see no evidence of any crusting in the recipient area and the crusts from the donor area gone in 3-4 days with daily washing.
