Thanks! I haven’t used it long so that might be why I haven’t seen too much results. Lol knowing now that it only really helps the crown vertex area helps too since I’ve been applying on my hairline and was hoping it would help there 🤦🏻‍♂️ Right now I’m continuing use until the surgeon I go with tells me to stop. I’ll probably continue to use in the future also just to help and keep what I got left up there.

This is going to look great! After the procedure did the doctor schedule you to come back anytime after to examine or for your first wash? Or is he leaving you to do the wash on your own? Probably not the most important but I’m just curious since I know some clinics ask to come back for an exam and first wash.

Curious about this as well! I’m on the foam, but wondering if oral would be the same case too. I’d assume both though until told otherwise.

Thanks, and absolutely I’d plan on following any guidance given completely. I might just keep using it until told to stop. I’m sure the doctors can provide more specific guidance with what’ll work best for each of them.

Thanks! I’m up in the air about continuing minoxidil now. Understanding that it takes 30-45 days for the hair to fall out. And needing to stop minoxidil 28 days prior to operation. Should I just stop using it until some time after getting a HT? I’d still use finasteride.. I’m thinking even if I wasn’t to get any work done on the vertex it wouldn’t matter since it could still lead to more bleeding outside of that area.. Would oral minoxidil cause the same issues, or have the same benefits? And would I need to stop that prior as well just like the foam?

Looks great! Also thanks for sharing! He’s one of the top if not top on my list. I’ve reached out already and am on a waiting list to be reached out to for a consultation.

My follow up question would be how long it takes for minoxidil grown hair to fall out? I think for my case it wouldn’t be the biggest deal if it fell out though, now that I think of it, I read that it only helps grow hair towards the top vertex area if I remember correctly.. I’m assuming that for my case the doctors will just want to do the frontal third anyways.

Ah thanks for the info. And sure thing, I’m 35, I would say I’m at a Norwood 3 and probably getting close to a 4.

Hi everyone, Long time lurker but finally decided to create an account and follow some users who have gone to the doctors I'm considering. I'm taking the next step towards getting a HT and have been reaching out to the clinics I have in mind. I've been on finasteride for around 6 months now, and minoxidil for around 2-3 months. I've noticed quite a few of you who have gotten hair transplants were asked to stop taking minoxidil before your HT and it makes total sense to me since I'm assuming it probably wouldn't be good to rub it on your head after surgery. So I guess my question is should I just stop taking minoxidil all together until some time after I get a HT? I figure if the hair I grow back from minoxidil is going to fall out anyways during the time I'm asked to stop it and while I'm healing then there's no point as it could throw off where hair is actually needed to be placed? Hoping to get you guys' thoughts on this. Thanks again!
