Question to all re meds for hair transplant

[Baldybee2]

Does everyone here who had a transplant still take meds such as propecia? If i do have a transplant I don't plan on taking any meds. Which is why I think smp may be the best route for me.

the most important factor here is your age and likelihood of continued loss throughout your life

I will say the same as I did in your other post

 

I wouldn't recommend a HT without meds, nor a HT without trying meds first especially at your age

 

the ones here who have done it without meds including myself are older and also have relatively stable loss

[Baldybee2]

Thanks for the feedback. In your opinion what is a good age?

[hsrp10]

unless already very advanced at a young age, I would wait until at least 30 for a HT

some people do not want to wait that long I know

 

if you're not interested in trying meds, than SMP could be an option for you but research it a lot as we discussed in your other thread

Take finasteride mate. It should help you and very few people have any sides. It's easy. Just keep obe or 2 in your wallet and have a quarter each day. You don't want to have a transplant then the rest of your hair falls out quickly and it was a waste of money. I've never had a transplant btw. But I've taken finasteride with no side effects for a few years on and off.

I've had two transplants so far & I'm on propecia but not on mino. I'm an advanced Norwood & was so at a very young age so knew where I was heading in terms of the loss. I'm likely to advance even further with age. So I'd recommend at least trying a tiny dosage to see how you get on, maybe a quarter daily or even every other day. If you're not interested then yes SMP can be an option after thorough research.
