Minoxidil after HT?


Recommended Posts

  • Regular Member
Hi guys, i actually just have one question. When can i start using Minoxidil after HT?

 

Some say wait for 2 weeks, others say 2 months. When is it safe to start using it? Thanks :)

 

I've researched it many recommend after the wound healed, --> 2 weeks sound good. Some say even as early as 5 to 7 days.

 

After my 1st HT (4 years ago), I remember I went on it around 5 or 7 days. I just got my 2nd yesterday (6-10-14); this is why I'm back on the forum to browse around and refresh my memory on the experiences. I'm planning to do it again around 5 days--but I'll see how it heals first.

This question comes up at least 2-3 times every week.

Minoxidil is not necessary for growth after a HT, especially if you went to a good hair restoration surgeon

 

Starting Minoxil for the very first time after surgery can cause shedding, and also it contains alcohol so you have to be careful about applying to the recipient area too. I think best to wait a month or even several months

Restarting if you had previously used before surgery is another case, and should be Ok
