Thanks for describing the individual uses of the constituents. Strangely enough I was told to start applying the product only after 14-18 days of the transplant procedure after most of the scabs had fallen off. I googled "Graftcyte", and this link describes a study conducted on its usefulness: GraftCyte Shows Improved Results for Hair Transplants From the link, a comparison of the results when applying GraftCyte vs placebo: The two treatments showed no difference when comparing the time after transplantation that hairs started regrowing (5.3 weeks for both), but the GraftCyte side showed better regrowth at 4, 8, and 12 weeks compared to the placebo side What does this mean?? If hair started growing (why does it say regrow) after 5.3 weeks, how come there was better growth (its says regrowth again!) at 4 weeks for GraftCyte? Perhaps I am not understanding something correctly?

He doesn't sell it out of his office; he just prescribes it. I wouldn't know if he has any stake in the manufacturing company though. But yes he does says it only needs to be applied for 5-7 months (not even suggesting/recommending continued usage for general health of the hair etc). I noticed that 5-7 months, the period he says this must be applied for, also happens to be the time period by which one can expect appreciable results of the HT... not sure if that's of any help to determine whether this would have any benefits or not, but I thought might be worth mentioning.

Hmm, the doctor seemed to think of this having no side effects which is probably not true of the drugs you mention. Additionally, unlike these medicines which prevent hair loss/makes hair regrow/improves density, he says that this one only increases the "thickness" of the existing/newly growing hair. But what I find hard to believe is that he says it need to use it only for 5-7 months.

Anyone?

I've had a FUE hair transplant 3 and a half weeks ago. The surgeon asked me to apply 'Follica Medicinal Hair Tincture' on the transplanted area twice a day, starting from 16 days after the surgery till about 5-7 months. The composition of this medicine is: Benzyl Nicotinate 0.2% w/v Vitamin K 0.2% w/v Salicylic Acid I. P. 0.1% w/v Alcohol(95%) I. P. 61% v/v Colour Tartrazine (Link to product: http://appletherapeutics.in/showprod...D=183&filter=1) The surgeon tells me that this will help thicken growing (and existing) hair. Even if I believe that a short term effect like this could take place during the period of application, I remain very skeptical that this would have any long term/permanent effect though the surgeon says that it would indeed be the case, and that I should not discontinue usage till at least 5 months. Has anyone else been prescribed any such thing? And do any people on the forum with medical training believe that this could have any lasting benefits?
