12 days post-op, can Sebamed Anti Hairloss shampoo damage grafts?

Question

Hello , i was told that i could use any shampoo after 12 days post op. I put sebamed anti hairloss shampoo without massaging it and rinse my head. İmmediately after that i got burning sensation on my skin and there was readness which all gone after 20-30 minutes like stated in the instructions. Fallowing days i switched to sebamed everyday wihtout any problem. i might be getting a little bit paranoid but my concern is that Sebamed Anti Hairloss shampoo could have done any harm to my grafts ?.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.   In general, shampoos do not harm grafts.

Thank you for your question. Don't worry about the initial feeling you had. This is likely because you have had many tiny holes made in your scalp for the grafts to be placed and so the whole scalp tends to be quite sensitive for the first few weeks. This will begin to settle but it can cause these odd stinging pains. Sebamed will be fine to use as it is quite neutral and unlikely to cause damage. I hope this is helpful for you BWRohit Seth Plastic, reconstructive, aesthetic and hair transplant surgery

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 and you should be clean of crusts within a day. 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 7-10 days with daily washing and any reasonable shcampoo can be used

At our clinic we use our own shampoo for the first ten days. After healing you can return to your own routine. If you have concerns, it is best to see your doctor for follow up.
