Senior Member Dazed Posted August 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted August 18, 2013 In November 2011 I had 2000 FUT with great success. I keep reading about shock loss, which I didn't experience with my first treatment, and I don't use Propecia or any other treatment. I have to admit I have fallen behind in the technology since my transplant. I am considering 1500 more FUT to make my hair fuller in a couple years. My fear is messing up a good thing, and experiencing shock loss the 2nd time around. Should I start using Propecia now in preparation, and are the transplants more prone to shock loss than native hair?

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Propecia has never been proven to prevent shock loss following a hair restoration procedure. Previously transplanted hairs tend not to shock a s easily as a weak original hair, but if they do fall out it would be temporary. Go Red Wings! and Tigers!
