Does Toppik Cause Hair Loss? When Can I Use it After Hair Transplantation?

I had a [tag]hair transplant[/tag] and i use [tag]Toppik[/tag] for [tag]hair loss[/tag].     I’ve heard that  toppik makes you go [tag]bald[/tag].   Is this true?

Toppik  is a concealer that is designed for one purpose: camoflauge your hair loss to the world.   Toppik works by creating an illusion of [tag]hair density[/tag] by temporarily increasing the [tag]hair shaft[/tag] thickness and darkening the scalp to blend with your hair.  

Toppik can be used approximately 10 days after your hair replacement  surgery or when the scabs/crusts have been removed from your scalp (whichever comes latest).    I say this because it’s important to give your scalp the proper time to heal and after 10 days, the [tag]transplanted hair[/tag] will be permanently secured to your [tag]balding[/tag] scalp.   Toppik can be a great product to help conceal not only your [tag]baldness[/tag] but the fact that you’ve had hair transplant  surgery.  

Despite what you may have heard, toppik does not cause, facilitate, or expedite [tag]natural[/tag] hair loss.   [tag]Genetic hair loss[/tag] however, is a progressive condition so it is important that you consider the use of [tag]FDA approved[/tag] [tag]hair loss drugs[/tag] such as Propecia ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) and Rogaine 5% ([tag]minoxidil[/tag]) to fight against [tag]future hair loss[/tag].   Be sure to consult with a physician and learn about the benefits, limitations, and potential side effects of these hair loss drugs.

I hope this helps.
