Hi all,
Long time lurker and occasional poster here.
I've been contemplating the use of minoxidil (oral) in relation to a hair transplant, and I'd love to get some insights from the community.
Here are some arguments for both sides:
**Using Minoxidil Before Hair Transplant:** (1) **Strengthen Existing Hair**, (2) **Delay the Need for Transplant** (3) **Maximize Donor Area Usage**
**Using Minoxidil After Hair Transplant:** (1) **Enhance Transplanted Hair Growth** (2) **Minimize Shock Loss** (3) **Overall Improvement**
As for me personally, I'm on Fin for 6 years and I've mostly maintained. Lately my hair is starting to look thin and I've noticed an increase in shedding.
This could be because of stress and that i had COVID a few weeks back and since the seasons change now I will wait a few weeks before i make judgment.
I plan to get an hair transplant in the future but wasn't sure about when is the RIGHT time to add another treatment - could be minoxidil, dut or even RU.
Thank you for your time and replies!
