I had a hair transplant 5.5 weeks ago. Is it okay to use gel and hair concealer on the transplanted area with no negative effects on my transplant?
Answer: You can use hair products and concealers after surgery based on what your doctor recommends. You can use hair products and concealers after surgery based on what your doctor recommends. Every doctor is different in their post operative care instructions. 5 weeks may be enough in general but it is always a good idea to keep your doctor in the loop.

Answer: Concealers and/or hair gel following hair transplant It is fine for you to use a concealer and gel at this point. I instruct my patients that they can begin to use a concealer five days following transplant if they wish to cover any residual redness or blush color. With appropriate post-procedure care including careful hair-washing beginning the day after transplant, the transplanted area should look clean with minimal redness within the first one to two weeks.

Answer: How soon can I use gel Personally, before any chemical compounds or Irritant material be applied to the recipient site I like to wait a full six weeks however if you wish to camouflage the recipient or donor site then synthetic hair fibers or topic is a viable alternative without irritating the scalp at the recipient site. Of course I am much less concerned about covering of the donor sites than the recipient sites. Not to worry !

Answer: Hair product after the procedure. You should be completely healed by this time and can return to your normal routine at this point. In general, you can start using products after three weeks.
