Question

Is saline spray safe to use after a hair transplant to help with recovery?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

You can use saline spray but I would clear that with your doctor.  It probably doesn't harm or help with the recovery.  Your doctor may have a different opinion.

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

yes, saline is innocuous.  However, check with your surgeon since we all have our own post procedure protocols.

Ryan Welter, MD · Answer

Saline spray is very commonly recommend after hair transplant surgery.  It tends to keep the grafts moist and can reduce itching.

Michael Meshkin, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Saline spray is very safe after hair transplant.  We usually recommend to use it the next day for a couple of days. It helps with dissolving the scabs faster and speeds up the recovery period.

James Fernau, MD, FACS - Account Suspended · Answer

Saline is safe for the grafts. If the spray is to much of a direct stream it could dislodge the grafts. A saline spray more like a mist would be safer. Please check with your surgeon.  Best wishes.
