It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  In general, you can wear Toppik especially after 4 weeks.

It is best to check with your hair transplant clinic post op care department for a question like this. Every clinic has different post op care instructions and they may want you to hold off on using toppik after your procedure.

Hi, I usually suggest patients wait about a week after hair transplants before using hair fibres. Make sure your using all natural fibres. I'm not sure Toppik fits into this catagory,Dr. Robert Jones
