Those with a HT & happy w/results; what did your Dr. require in minox usage post-HT?

[patwillpat1]

Seems HT's doctors have differing views on how long you must use minox for post-HT to get the transplanted follicles nourished. Just want to get an average gauge.

 

So if you were happy with your HT results:

1)Who was your doctor and how many months afterwards were you required to stay on minox post-HT? did you actually do so?

2)What brand/type did you use?

 

Thanks

Most docs don't technically require minox after a procedure... However some believe it may help with early growth. I mostly hear between 7-14 days post op is the recommended time frame to restart.... But everyone is different. Give yourself a chance to heal first.

Most docs agree that about 2 weeks after surgery is safe to start. You don't have to use it, as you are having permanent DHT resistant hair transplanted. But some believe it can jump start growth and help the hair mature faster.

sorry, meant how many months after you start using it (post-HT) does the Dr. recommend you stay on it to ensure all transplanted follicles get nourished.

I hear some docs recommend 6-12 months after to ensure optimal blood circulation. Didn't know you can actually bypass this step.

 

aaron1234, you got nice results after each transplant. Did you use any minox after the transplant to help the follicles? or only using fin?
