Bald + HT = Proscar?

[Guest]

Here's a hypothetical situation: Let's say HT patient previously had no hair. Would he need to take finasteride after the procedure? I was under the impression that the transplanted hairs would be permanent, and if he had no hair to begin with why the need to halt hair loss. If it is still warranted please explain.

Simple answer= it cant hurt. Plus, it may help with new growth on the crown. But you are right, proscar (and propecia) is much more effective on younger guys just starting to lose hair.

thats for the quick reply, I just had the scenario pop in my head this morning. Might help someone to know, maybe not.

HT mid-term grades test:

 

If an HT patient had no hair to start with.....

How could he be an HT patient ? ( i.e. no donor hair )

 

Am I missing something? Or does the doctor dig deep ( armpits, chest, soles of his feet.. )
