Senior Member bman3082 Posted July 13, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted July 13, 2018 I know it is recommended to use minox in the first year for maximum growth, but is it absolutely necessary? I really hate it and would much rather avoid it as I think it was messing up my skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a necessity mate, I didn’t take it and know of many others who haven’t. Rahal’s clinic do recommend it but just state you don’t want to start using it Rahal FUT, 2800 frontal grafts (30/1/18) http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/189021-dr-rahal-fut-2803-30-1-18-a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted July 13, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted July 13, 2018 I had 4 separate HT procedures and only used minoxidil post-op on my grafts on the last procedure. I did not notice any difference whatsoever in the regrowth in terms of rate of growth and appearance.

That’ GREAT to hear, because I realllyyy do not want to use but still want as close to 100% yield as I can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member bman3082 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2018 anybody else here not use minox after transplant with good results? Or have tried using it and not using it for different transplants with similar results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted July 17, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2018 The lack of using minoxidil on the new grafts should not affect the overall yield. IMHO, it is recommended by some clinics to jump start the growth or to advance the rate of regrowth, nothing else.
