Safety of Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner?

When is it safe to begin using Tea Tree Shampoos and Conditioners post-op?

 

Is this considered a medicated shampoo?

I asked a related question some time ago. Here is the thread:

Doesn't really answer your question, but I think it's ok so as long as not chock full of other chemicals. Personally, I now use Revita. If in doubt, check with your doc.

 

I particularly liked the money-saving tip from HairHope!

It's usually a good idea to wait at least a month before using any medicine based shampoos, simply because they may cause extra scalp irritation resulting in additional temporary shock loss.

 

Best wishes,

Thanks for the feedback guys.

 

Just was not sure if it was considered a "medicated" shampoo. I think tea tree helps keep any bouts of folliculitis at bay.

 

Also, I believe tea tree oil is in Nioxin Shampoos and Hair Cycle Shampoo, both of which are apparently safe immediately post-op.

 

Just trying to plan things out.
