Last month i got the ht done. Doc prescribed FINAX and minaxidil for 6 months. My doubt is -

If I dont use FINAX. How would it effect the growth of transplanted hair.

Do we have less chances of transplanted hair growth, if I dont use FINAX.

transplanted,

Finax will have no impact on the transplanted hair. In other words, whether or not you take this medication, your hair transplant will not be impacted.

However, your hair transplant may be indirectly impacted by Finax simply because it may help increase the amount of natural hair mass you have. Finax (finasteride) helps to slow down, stop, and potentially even reverse the effects of pattern baldness in some men. If you have a good amount of natural hair left, there's a good chance using this medical treatment will prevent you from requiring as many subsquent hair replacement procedures as you would if you didn't use it.

I hope this helps.

Bill
