Aloe Vera after hair transplant

[whatyalookingat]

Hi Guys I have recently done a hair transplant in cosmedica in Turkey and Im trying to speed up the recovery process by keeping the grafts moist by spraying them with water every so often also I have used aloe vera on the donor area but Im wondering when do you think it is possible to use Aloe Vera on the recipient area?
Any other tips to speed up recovery would be appreciated!
I am 3 days now post op

Congratulations on your recent surgery.

Did the clinic recommend spraying with water? Did they give you any post op instructions to follow?

Aloe vera can help with the recipient area redness speak with your clinic as to when you can start using it I would say 3 days is too soon to start applying to the recipient area.

Thanks for the reply, no the clinic didn't say anything about spraying the area however I have read it in many places that it is done. Do you have any conflicting information with regard to that? all the best

Might not seem the brightest to spray the recipient area however i want a quick recovery and I have read that this is the best way to go about it, apparently it is also good for the grafts to be hydrated the first few days for their survival. here are some sources.

I would just spray the area and hold off on the Aloe Vera for at least two weeks post op.
