Senior Member N-6 Posted November 29, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2011 Has anyone used this with any success? I'm aware of dermamatch but wanted to know if anyone has used Toppik or Nanogen to conceal donor area. I'll be returning to work soon and the hair in the donor area won't be enough to cover staples and scar. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted November 30, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2011 If you have staples and/or sutures in then you have open wounds - so no go with the concealer for the first two weeks. After the sutures are removed then give the wound at least a week to heal up more. Then dermmatch would be a good concealer for the donor scar. Toppik or nanogen would be difficult to apply due to the angle.

Senior Member N-6 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have dissolvable sutures and staples. Once the donor area is closed via sutures and staples, I'm not sure if that's still considered an open wound, especially 9 days out. The angle will be tough for toppik but maybe the spray applicator can help. I also read couvre is good for donor area. No concealers though for recipient area, I'm scared it could give me less yield.
