It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. There are no medications to speed up healing.
A-Cell has worked well for my patients in promoting scar healing and minimizing them as well. Most scar medicines like the ones you listed don't have studies to prove their effectiveness. But I don't believe any of them would cause harm, so if you feel as if they may help you go for it.
The use of Retin A in the donor area does not make any sense to me. Retin A is an irritant and will just cause inflammation of the donor area
Moist wounds heal best - so keep the area clean and spray with saline or plain water every hour you are awake for the first three days. Plain vaseline can help, as can neosporin (avoid bacitracin - allergic reactions). PRP (+/-ACell) can help, as can post-op healing kits that contain copper peptide solutions. Ask your doctor what they recommend!Good luck!
Although it is not possible and maybe even pointless to try and answer this type of question without doing a live examination, we can make some rough calculations for the donor capacity of above the average patients. 10.000-12.000 life time grafts - assuming the hair per graft average is...
There is no way to grow grafts, the amount you have is finite and if too many have been taken you'll have to look to other methods to camouflage the area. To grow transplanted hairs there isn't much to do, some methods people say are useful but there's no scientific study to confirm their...
If your doctor advised you to wash more thoroughly and you follow the advice, that is the best you can do. If there are any issues, let your doctor know. It is normal to have shed the transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.
Generally if you had pulled out a graft you would see blood. Not always, but usually. Try rubbing off the scabs while still in the shower and even while the conditioner has been sitting in your hair, that is generally the safest way to remove them.
We don't expect to see much hair at 10 weeks after hair transplant. In most patients this is the time they start growing new hair and some little short hair might be seen. We usually expect the growth to be completed in 8 to 12 months after a hair transplant procedure. You can check the t...
Most important is to wait to use Toppik until after your scabs are gone, which generally would be 1-2 weeks. Most doctors recommend waiting two weeks after you FUE before using Toppik but if you take extra care and consult with your doctor I'm sure you could make 12 days work as well.
