Rogaine before/after hair transplant

[a]

Hi, I have a hair transplant scheduled for Sept. I was told that taking Rogaine 6 months before helps to reduce shock loss. After taking it 2 months, I hate it. Applying to the crow is no problem but the front hair is a huge pain. I know that taking it after surgery can help facilitate growth.

 

In short, I don't want to be stuck on Rogain forever. It's a huge pain to deal with (especially if you apply Toppik and gel to your hair). Do you think that there is any reason to take it before or after surgery to help facilitate growth? If so, how long do I have to be on it? I don't want to stick to the regimen and then cut it off and lose more hairs.

 

Thanks.

Hey i used it before and after transplant i started rogaine 5 days after my 2 fue and my grafts never fell out so it does help also no shock loss, just place it on the area of the grafts , its worth the hassle just dont use foam liquid is better wont spread like foam does

If you can just use the foam version 10 minutes before you go to bed. That's what I do. I just slap the stuff on once a day (rather than the recommended twice). It is working for me.
