Regular Member ronzues Posted June 8, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted June 8, 2014 Is there any point? I will not take that medicine anymore and according to what I have read, if you don't take it to stop further hair loss of the hair that is already pre-programed to fall out then you aren't doing yourself any good. I have applied Rogaine foam for the past 2 years and though I have no proof whatsoever that it has done anything I still continue to take it anyway just in case it has done more than I realize. I have read too much negative feedback about laser therapy being a waste of time and money so I guess I am only willing to keep using Rogaine foam. So...with that in mind would you still advise wasting the time, money and effort on a second transplant or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Roman94 Posted June 16, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted June 16, 2014 It's taking a chance. With the chance of future hair falling out, you may only have a limited supply of donor hair. I personally been on the drug for almost two years, and definitely no side effects.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted June 16, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ron, Do you feel comfortable continuing the minoxidil (Rogaine)? Both finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil are proven preventive therapies, and I think most would agree that stabilization with one will provide some level of retention moving into the second procedure.
