After a hair transplant, you’ll almost certainly be presented with a nice kit: serums, vitamins, special shampoos, and “hair regrowth” supplements. Sometimes they’ll push them on you quite aggressively. And the question you’re rightfully asking yourself is: is it really worth it?
At Sublime Specialist Clinic, we’ll give you an honest answer, even if it means we make less money. Especially because it means we make less money.
What We Actually Found in Those Briefcases
We took the time to examine several of these products closely. Here’s the bottom line, in a nutshell:
- Vitamins that are often low in dosage, which hardly justifies their price.
- Ordinary shampoos, marketed as if they were miracle products.
- For some, these are vague claims that are difficult to verify.
There’s nothing illegal about it. But there’s also nothing that justifies paying a fortune. The regrowth of your hair transplants depends mainly on the quality of the procedure and your follow-up care, not on a shampoo that costs three times as much.
Why We Refuse to Sell Them to You
Here’s the point that sums up our entire approach to work. Clinics regularly offer to let us resell these products to you at whatever markup we want. We’d set the price and make a profit on every sale. We’ve always turned them down.
The reason is simple: we’re already paid to coordinate and advise you. We don’t need to sell you products we aren’t convinced about. When we recommend something to you, it’s because we believe in it—not because we earn a commission on it.
That’s exactly what should guide you when choosing a coordinator: Does he make money by selling you extras, or does he look out for your best interests?
What You Really Need After a Transplant
The real “post-transplant kit” consists of just a few items, and the essentials aren’t for sale:
- Carefully follow the washing and care instructions during the first few days.
- Protect the area (from the sun, sweat, and friction).
- Be patient: it takes months for the hair to grow back completely.
- And most importantly, a contact person who is available to answer your questions throughout this entire period.
That’s what matters. Not the briefcase.
