Copper peptides after HT?
Curious. How soon after a HT are people directed to use Tricomin? Is it immediately being sprayed on open wounds? Or do they wait until healing has begun?

Check with your doctor. IMO, you may want to wait about 6 days.
Allow enough time so you are able to rinse it off because it could cause a burning or stinging sensation if the copper peptide concentration is high as Tricomin states.

Thanks Chuck I was hoping you would reply. This is actually related to Derma Rolling + Tricomin, but I thought it would be a similar recommendation since HT & DR both involve wounding.

I think you may be referring to Graftcyte which is enriched with copper peptide in the spray version (bottle).
It is recommended to be used immediately after the procedure to accomplish two primary things. To keep the grafts moist for roughly 72 hours following surgery and also to facilitate wound healing.
Tricomin also offers shampoo with copper peptide to also use immediately after the procedure. Another version of the shampoo can be used on a permanent basis, not for healing, but for maintaining healthy hair.
There is actually a post-op kit that can be purchased from them which includes the spray, shampoo, and a gel that can be applied directly to the extraction sites.
Am on the fence with Tricomin as I personally think it is over valued however anything that can facilitate wound healing is good IMHO.
