Dr. John Watts — a renowned dermatologist, trichologist, and one of Hyderabad’s top hair transplant surgeons — provides detailed answers and insights on these questions.
Satish @ Sharma asks: “Sir, I want to know if I can use hair oil immediately after a hair transplant procedure. Please explain.”
Applying hair oil immediately after a hair transplant is generally discouraged due to the risk of disrupting the delicate healing process. Since the newly implanted grafts are still settling into their new locations and require time to integrate with the surrounding tissue, applying hair oil can interfere with this process and may cause the grafts to dislodge.
In this educational video, Dr. John Watts explains the hazards of using hair oil on the transplanted area within the first 25 days after the procedure. For the first 15 days post-transplant, the hair grafts are particularly vulnerable. After this period, when the hair shafts have fallen off, it is generally safe to use hair oil, serum, or medications such as Minoxidil.
Ideally, Dr. Watts advises waiting until the 25th day after the hair transplant to apply hair oil. Even if hair oil is not applied by this time, there is no harm.
Conclusion: It is crucial to follow the specific post-transplant care instructions provided by your surgeon or medical team, which typically recommend waiting until the scalp has fully healed before applying hair oil. This approach helps prevent potential graft dislodgement.
