    Default Hair transplant foam help

    Hi, I had my hair tranplant done last week and was given foam and shampoo to use for 15 days, I am 7 days in and I have ran out of foam as it liked to squirt out like cream meaning a lot has been wasted, I have been to a few pharmacys today and none have anything like it or similar to.

    Can anyone tell me where I can either get some or order some?

    Its a skin regeneration foam and the one I have is called Panthenol (9%) I had the surgery done in Turkey so this foam does not exist in the UK

    I was intrigued by this as I hadn't heard of the product, but the name was familiar as it looks like a combination of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and alcohol. Which it is.

    On wiki I found that it has other names:

    Dexpanthenol
    Bepanthen

    I found it online at a UK highstreet pharmacy: http://www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/dex...intment-105679

    According to that site it's a prescription medication. You may find it if you hunt for those alternative names.

    Thanks Matti, I've been into Llyods today and although it's on there website they have never heard of it so I will try and order it online via their site instead

    I actually spotted Panthenol in the local Tesco Express yesterday, while waiting in the queue. It seems to be common for baby skin care.

    The products you find probably won't be as strong as the one you were given originally.
