Regular Member spinmaker Posted July 27, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi guys, I am 18 days post op and want to start using Monoxidil in an effort to minimize shockloss. I was told it's ok to start using it 2 weeks post op but I still have a few flakey scabs lingering so was waiting for those to go. I have read a few threads on this subject but it's still a grey area. I want to know who has started back on Monoxidil after a HT and had good/bad results. No shock loss please! Thanks.

Regular Member Mrs Hair Posted July 27, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hello Spinmaker I started on minoxidal 14 days after my HT.I use the 2 % minoxidal two times a day.I did have a few scabs left but they eventually fell off.I was more concerned about shock loss and minoxidal is one of the best ways to minimize it.

Senior Member Smoothy Posted August 5, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 5, 2008 Last HT, I started a few days post op and it did help shock loss and 75% of grafts did not go dormant and fall out-- most continued growing from the "whisker" implant texture. So it worked for me-- ALSO I used Graphcyte (not sure on the spelling) at the same time to spead healing process-- so I dont know which one was responsible for the results or if it was the combo of the 2. Make Sure you stay on your Propecia throughout. (the last 2 HT I actually doubled dose first 10 days post op--- just my personal experment) SMOOTHY Shapiro Propecia/Rogaine xtra MSM/Saw Palmetto Nioxin Shampoo Zrii 3oz daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
