I just saw the commercial and was wondering if anyone has tried this. I was wondering if it would help my hair transplant grow faster. Thanks.

mphoenix,

Read my article about scalp med so you understand what you are buying.

Stick to the things that work

Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil), & either Nizoral or Revita ( Shampoo might provide marginal assistance)

I don't know anything about hair transplants- but I tried ScalpMed (didn't work for me). It was very strong/harsh/not sure of the right word on my scalp. I wouldn't even consider using it with hair transplants.

Scalpmed's active ingredient is Minoxodil. Minoxodil has been proven to work to regrow hair for some. Scalpmed is a lot more expensive however and contains other ingredients. The other ingredients do not do anything to combat hair loss or regrow hair.

Of course, if minoxodil doesn't work for you, Scalp Med won't either.

In my opinion, use Rogaine or generic minoxodil for the same benefit and for less money.
