Guest Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi all I have been on regain for about 3 years now and did notice some difference in the first year but not much after that. I have recently returned from new york after having 2600 grafts via strip with Dr Feller and feel I will no longer need to use regain. Although i have heard it will help speed up the growth process do you think it will have any downsides if i stop using it after a couple of months on my transplanted hair. Thanks in advance.

Regular Member Doc Patient Posted April 2, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2006 Well I certainly wouldn't stop it now right after having a procedure. It will speed up your results. Personally I would stick with it at this point for another 3-4 months and then reconsider stopping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member jagdish Posted April 2, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2006 I agree with Doc Patient. It is better to use it for first 6 to 7 months after the procedure to speed up the results. After that you are free to give it up. It will affect only your native hair not the transplanted hair.

Senior Member Gorpy Posted April 2, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2006 If you stop, you might try to ween yourself off of it gradually. For exampe, go to once a day, for a few weeks, then once every other day, then twice a week, etc. ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I've heard from Dr. True that Minoxodil does NOT speed up growth...that this is a false rumor. However, in order to keep any hair you've regained from Minoxodil, you must keep using it. I just posted somewhere else that I used it for years and now I don't use it anymore. I had very little benefit using it, so I stopped it altogether...I lossed the little I gained, but now I don't have itchy or greasy scalp . But if it's working for you, best to stay with it...that's my thought. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member jagdish Posted April 22, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted April 22, 2006 Is that true that Minoxidile will not speed up the growth Ravi Vide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted April 23, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted April 23, 2006 Bill statement sounds valid? If minioxidil has been show to have zero effectin the frontal area, why would it speed up growth? Maybe in the crown I would give it some merit There are many items out there "sold" for post op HT recovery and from what I researched many items just don't speed up growth or recovery. They do speed up the disappearance of yuour money JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
