  1. Cheers for the feedback Tao/BDK081522, when you started after the 2 weeks post FUE did your scalp go red ? Or noticed any increased shed ? I’ve been using 15% with fin at night and 6% with fin during the day for years pre FUE, so stopped around 2 weeks ago, but keen to get back on it asap as I don’t know how many hairs I have are because of using this combination. Also to BKJ081522, how you getting on with RU58841 ? The same site I get my topical minoxidil/finasteride combination from started selling it, but there’s such little information on it ……
  2. Cheers for the reply Tao, as you said who’d not want to have good growth at an early stage by adding minoxidil asap rather than waiting 3 months, the only negative that I can see from using it too soon is a red scalp, but as I’ve been on minoxidil for 20 plus years my head is use to it and I don’t get ant redness/itching. Unless someone can give a negative I think I’ll start just the 6% with fin from 14 days post FUE, as from what I’ve read this is when the grafts are fully anchored in.
  3. Hi All I’m 7 days post 1st ever FUE at age 50, I’ve been taking biotin/saw palmetto/collagen tablets/omeg 3&d3 for as long as I can remember, plus using at night pre op I’d apply topical 15% minoxidil with 1% finasteride and during the day I’d use 6% minox with 1% fin, started losing hair at 25, so I’ve been throwing everything at it for 25yrs to keep for as long as possible, but DHT finally won the battle ! so it was shave it or get an FUE. I’m 7 days post FUE, and had a meeting with the clinic today for wash and check up, with my next checkup in 3 months, but the clinic are saying no minoxidil for 3 months post FUE, I’ve been on minoxidil for 25 years and I stopped 1 week pre FUE, but do you think that’s right to stay off it for 3 months ? My main concern is what hair I was hanging onto because of the minoxidil with now vanish after going cold turkey on minoxidil, also the finasteride I was on was infused with the minoxidil too, but I’m getting around this by switching to oral 1mg finasteride which I’m not happy about as sides which is why I used topical finasteride…. My head is still quite sore/red so I was going to start back on minoxidil at the 14day mark, but now the Dr is saying not for 3 months…. Can anyone see any advantage of stopping for 3 months while it all settles down ? Or heard of this being advised….. I get my topical minoxidil/finasteride shipped to uk from USA site minoxidilmax, the night version is 15% with fin, but day bottle is 6% with fin, so what harm could I do on newly transplanted hair if I just start on 6% with fin in 14days post op FUE total 3434 and 8578 hairs, I had a lot for 5 and 6’s so excellent donor, I’ve posted some pics I’ve taken over last 6 days for anyone to comment on…. Thanks in advance for any help/advice
