Doctors need u to shed all gains before a transplant?
...uhh which doctor said this?
theres a lot of hate on minoxidil in this thread but the reality is that it’s one of the few effective medications we have which is thoroughly tested, easily accessible, and affordable. It works synergistically with finasteride as shown in studies. Our hair follicles have a certain number of programmed cycles before they miniaturize forever. Minoxidil extends the anagen phase thereby extending this phenomenon. Whatever we can do to extend these limited cycles is a positive.
finasteride and Minoxidil are treatments NOT cures so if u want their benefit then you have to use them continuously. Of course, finasteride is easy as u just pop a pill rather then apply a topical 1-2 times a day but such is life.
