Are there any health risks from breathing in Toppik or other hair fibers?

April 18, 2020
Asked By:livingla in Los Angeles, CA

Those micro fibers linger in the air for a while and I'm positive I breath in a lot of it when I use my hair concealer fibers. Are there any health or potential risks on lungs, etc? I use Toppik a few times a week and want to be safe.

Guzide Bayrak, MD says:

Hello, keep taking the minoxidil that your doctor prescribed before and I don't recommend you to take finasteride since minoxidil is already working for you.If you stop taking the medication, you might experience hair loss again. You can also consider PRP Therapy, mesotherapy, or low laser therapy.
