How many days post op can I use aloe vera on the donor area?

Pretty much straight away - 2/3 days post op.

Spex how often should i apply it? and also when can i start using merderma? Thanks

Apply it morning and night - it creates a hard film though so not too much - Not heard of other product sorry

oh ok. I just applied it and its burning lol does that mean its working? also can i still spray saline on my donor occasionally while the aloe vera is already applied?

If it stings then stop applying it - You need aloe vera gel with no alcohol in it. Also the best healing agent out there it mother nature so maybe just leave it a little - how many days post op are you??

I have just put together a site to aid anyone wanting to purchase relevant products in the UK post op to aid faster healing and quicker growth - I have done this due to the volume of emails i get everyday regarding these products so thought it would make sense put them all in one place. The products are for sale through this site below but i can assure you it is not about profit - rather helping guys get all the right stuff from one place without having to schleep around looking for it all post op. By all means use the info and go purchase the products yourself if you feel you can get them cheaper and easier. www.htstarterpack.com

All the best !

The aloe vera contains no alcohol. When is it ok to put the aloe vera on the recipent area? MSM... I see alot of people are taking 3000 mg a day. I bought one a bottle from GNC and the serving size is 2 capsules a day at 1000 mg each, which makes 2000 mg. Will it be sufficient? I also think your website will be beneficial to many people who plan on getting ht's. I mustve went to the pharmacy about 4 times buying different products. Smart thinking spex...

Spex posting on an Aloe Vera thread? I can't believe it .

Spex, when are we going to start on Aloe Vera side business? Better start growing those plants now

Many take 3000mg a day if not more - the body will just get rid of what it doesn't need when you go for a NO.1 Just drink lost of water with it. Thanks - i too think it will make peoples lives easier and it will also save me hours typing the same thing

LOL Falc, i just spat my coffee out -

can i put aloe vera on my recipient (grafts) 5 days post op???

Yes - less is more

just posted on a separate thread where the guy was worried about redness on the scalp, and i told him the aloe vera gel has actually been working really well for me.

it is a 99% pure aloe vera gel that can be purchased at the health foods store.

i think it is a great scalp moisturizer, and it has been of benefit to me without any irritation. i think the "stinging" feeling happened the first time i put it on, and that was because my scalp was so dry from all the showers i was taking and shampooing to get the scabs off.

i am now 2 weeks and 2 days post op.



aH

how long am i suppose to apply aloe vera. My scabs are gone and there is no redness? How should i treat the grafted area now?

If you are going to apply Aloe on your grafts at only 5 days, be extra careful. Whereas Aloe won't hurt the grafts, you don't want to rub the grafts to vigorously as they might not yet be fully secured in the scalp.

We give our patients pure aloe vera to spray on.
In fact we even spray the recipient area with it immediately post implantation. Thereafter we ask the patient to spray 3 to 5 times daily until the bottle is finished.

Aloe vera is one of the finest extracts ever to have been discovered in regards of skin healing.
