Couvre and Toppik products
Question: Hello Dr. Bernstein, I would greatly appreciate it if you could answer a question for me. I am a male suffering from hair loss. I have been covering it up very well for the last year using Toppik and Couvre hair products. I had hair transplants done 2 years ago and even right after my surgery I carried on using them to cover up the bald areas. However, I just returned from a consultation with a new doctor to get some more hair transplants done and he said NOT to use them anymore because they damage the follicle and prevent growth. He said that I cannot use them after my surgery! These were the products that made it possible for me to have the first surgery done in the first place! Can you please tell me if it is true that they are harmful to the results after the surgery? Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance, ash

Answer: Toppik and Couvre may be used after surgery. However, I would suggest waiting a week before using them. You should further discuss your concerns about this with your hair transplant surgeon. Sincerely, Drs. Bernstein and Badamo
