Regular Member Birdness Posted January 20, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Hi. I am considering a HT. I have used in the past topical 5% minoxidil followed by application of Retin-A cream 0.1% to aid absorption . Does the use of Retin A in the past have any impact on the success of a HT? Any increased risk of complications because of this previous use of Retin A ???? Edited January 20, 2013 by Birdness Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Thomas2012 Posted January 20, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 20, 2013 Birdness, I would be hesitant on using on your scalp along with Rogaine. I use Retin A on my face everyday and it can be irritating at times and I have oily skin. I think you will dry your scalp out too much. Are you using the foam? Secondly I believe the foam penetrates better when you apply when your hair is damp, but maybe some other members could chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Birdness Posted January 20, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks. No irritation. Just wondering if the use of Retin A would have any effect on a possible hair transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
