Do I need the supplements after my hair transplant?

[rafter_01]

Hi, 

It's been 11 days since my hair transplant and apart from the prescribed medicine by my surgeon I'm not consuming anything else. 

Do I need to take stuff like Biotin, saw palmetto, vitamins etc? 

Do people get decent results without taking the above? 

I'm not sure if I see any benefit in most of them. 

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

Things like Biotin and MSM will help hair grow quicker/thicker and generally give it a more healthy look (won't do anything to prevent further loss of native hair). Can help give any shaved down native hair both in the recipient and donor a little boost in growing back (probably won't do anything much for any hair lost due to shock loss as that'll usually grow back in its own time)

Some people take saw palmetto to try and prevent further hair loss but personally don't think it'll do much in that regard but no harm in giving a go if you want to.

I’m taking Biotin and using a laser comb. Think I’m slightly ahead of schedule (especially with horrendous shock loss) so agree with the above - you’ll kick yourself if you have slow regrowth and didn’t try something that *may* help!
