Hi TempleRunner, It is safe for you to use Minoxidil and it is recommended by surgeons worldwide to help give a boost to newly implanted hair grafts. The recent discussion in the link below may be of some interest to you. All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member TempleRunner Posted April 25, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 25, 2019 Thank you! I read that sometimes minoxidil may cause shedding of the HT hair, is it based? My clinic did not instruct me to take minoxidil. the Dr said that if I want to use it, I can use the foam after 1 month and liquid after 6 months (because liquid has a higher chance to cause redness). 4329 grafts - ASMED - Dr. Koray - 12-13.3.19HT thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started applying it at around 2.5 months. It's hard to say if its made any difference as hair is slowly regrowing anyway during this time.
