Hi all,
What is the recommendation regarding returning to take Minoxidil after hair transplant ?
I have semi diffused balding and am taking Minoxidil (by solution with Finasteride + orally) for around a year now with great improvement at hair growth and density. However some areas of my hair got too much tinning and lack of growth so I've done a HT at these areas couple of weeks ago (with the clinic recommendation of course).
I've heard that there are benefits to faster hair shedding cycle and growth of transplanted hair with Minoxidil, and I also want to continue the good effects of Minoxidil on my native hair.
However, I assume that Minoxidil can also cause some damage to the HT if starting to take it too soon, however I do not know these bad effects (and would appreciate if you guys can elaborate on what they are).
I also assume that different clinics recommend different recovery method and times.
I was wondering what is the "general" and "common" recommendation regarding of when to start taking back the medication and why.
My clinic didn't know for sure and recommended me to generally take whatever I want after the "special shampooing " phase (which is about 14 days).
Thanks!
