Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted October 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2011 DoctorWho, Some doctors do believe that applying Rogaine a couple of weeks after surgery can expedite hair growth. My doctor recommended the same tactic and opted to do it as I felt it could do no harm and it may help. If you choose to apply Rogaine to your recipient areas, you do not have to do so forever. For more information on this topic I suggest reading this brief article by Dr. Robert True from our Hair Loss Q&A Blog: Can Rogaine Speed up Hair Transplant Growth?

Regular Member DoctorWho Posted October 21, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2011 so long how do i have to keep using it (2 months, 3months etc)? and if i did decide to stop it, do i do it gradually (to avoid excessive shedding) or i could just stop abruptly. thanks again for the replies.
