Best Arizona (AZ) Post Operative Hair Transplant Care

For many patients the thought of post-operative scabbing and crusts overlying the grafts for 2 to 4 weeks is enough to dissuade them from undergoing hair transplantation. Since the cosmetic visibility of scabbing is disconcerting to most patients, we decided to try to discover some product or technique that would prevent post-operative scabs from attaching to the grafts.

We tried numerous commercial products including a copper peptide solution which was extremely expensive, yet still allowed scabs to form and remain for 7 to 10 days. We finally perfected the no scab procedure a few years ago. We can now state with certainty that if our post-operative instructions are followed explicitly, you will not experience any scabbing or crusting over the transplanted grafts. The normal pinkness or redness of the skin will also resolve much faster with our no scab procedure.

The post-operative protocol is as follows:

Four times per day for four days, the patient applies an antibiotic ointment to the surface of the grafts. We have tried all combinations such as 3 times per day for 2 or 3 days, but we have found that the ointment must be applied for a total of 4 days or scabbing will still be possible. The reason is medically based on how many days are required for re-epithelialization and skin healing. Anything less than 4 times per day or less than 4 days will not prevent graft scabbing or crusting.

Patients have been extremely pleased that in 4 days their scalp is free of scabbing and their grafts are slightly pink. At this point it is easy to camouflage any signs of the surgical procedure.
