Hello,

I am getting a ht in September so guys tell me how can i prepare well for the surgery.I am on Propecia and have Rogaine 5%.Reply.Thanks

Cease any use of Rogaine for two months before surgery. That means you should stop sometime in July. Propecia use can be continued through the surgical date.

I AM getting my surgery there only Jetronics in Vancouver and i hope to see you there.Tell me is hairmaxx laser comb effective?

[Jotronic]

In our experience we do not feel any laser device is effective. Some have reported otherwise but this is our opinion.

Jotronic - why should one stop the Rogaine? I am getting an FUE HT in 5 weeks and my doc never suggested this..

[cantturnback]

i suggest that you dont do it. you will be full of regrets, take it from someone that knows

cantturnback,

 

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience, but advising someone based solely on your experience is very narrow minded, especially when hundreds of hair loss sufferers are very happy with their hair transplant, me included. While less than optimal results can occur even in the msot experienced hands, today's hair transplant techniques can provide patients with dense and very natural looking hair.

 

I encourage you to share your own experience on this forum and I trust that our genuine members of this community can provide you with constructive input that may help you.

 

Best wishes,

amanindia,

 

Congratulations on your upcoming hair transplant procedure. I believe you told me you're having it with Dr. Hasson, right? You'll be in excellent hands!

I have also scheduled mu surgery in October. But my doctor never told me to stop Rogaine. Why should it be stopped? Please dont make random statements like these without conclusive evidence..

I believe it's because Rogaine thins the blood and therefore could lead to bleading issue during the HT. Dr. Simmons had me stop the Rogain 7 days in advance and I didn't have any issues w/ bleeding.

I believe at Hasson and Wong they recommend that you stop Rogain for 60 days before surgery. This is because it some case it causes the skin to be very spongy and harder to insert the grafts.

[Dr. Glenn Charles]

We recommend patients stop using Rogaine for 5-7 dayd before the procedure. However, I have considered lengthening that time period. Good luck. Dr. Hasson gets impressive results on a regular basis.
