Dan danielDec 2, 2014

Hello , Today I am 6 months post hair transplent and I was wondering if using Topik and Hair Wax on a daily basis can cause damage to my transplented hair ? I don't use a lot of wax but I do use it every day for work .. A friend of mine told me that if I do then I can cause damage to the transplanted hair root and they won't grow again . Please let me know ..as I consider another hair transplant in 6 months .i need to know . Thank you Doctor

If you have a hair transplant surgery it can help but it may be full enough when you shave the area.  You may need more than one surgery.  If you are not going to grow a beard and want a close shave, Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) can help. A combination of both would be ideal.

Neograft is just an instrument used to take out the hair grafts using the FUE technique.  It is not a type of surgery.You will lose your transplanted hair as well as some of your native hair weeks after surgery. You may look worse before it starts to look better. It may take 6 to 12 months...

If your infection is treated your donor area will heal eventually.  How it may look after it has healed is anyone's guess.

Rogaine will not likely speed up the growth after a hair transplant surgery.  Some doctor recommend it.  It is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor.

Dear Balding21Thanks for the question. There is no age limit as such for a hair transplantation. But people under the age group of 18 years to 80 years usually options for hair transplantation as the symptoms of balding and spot balding occur within this span of life. I wish you all the best.

If my patients are using fibers to conceal balding I have them stop using it for 2-3 weeks after their surgery. At 5 months you can use it without any problems and it should not have any effect on the transplanted follicles.
