Regular Member Orion Posted October 17, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted October 17, 2006 I used some Aloe Vera gel with lidocaine which contains Alcohol on my scalp as recommended by some here on this forum. I was reading some other posts today and was shocked to read about the possibility of alcohol killing the implanted grafts. Is this true? Or is this perhaps an exaggerated statement. I'm 5 days post op. My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I haven't heard such a thing, but to be honest I never researched the topic before. How many days/weeks/months post op are you? I would say it's worth researching more if you are only a couple days post op, but if you are weeks or months post op, I would imagine you'd be fine. Sorry I can't be more of a help on this.

Regular Member Orion Posted October 18, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm 5 days post op...Its ok I dont think one time is going to "kill" anything. I'll just be sure to use aloe with no alcohol. My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
