Regular Member HTjon Posted March 6, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2021 Dear Forum, I had a hair transplant in the front area in September 2020, six months ago. Everything went very well. After the surgery, I then started treating my tonsure area with Minoxidil (Regaine foam) twice a day. With this I hoped that I can push my second hair transplant for the tonsure as far back as possible. Before my surgery I had longer hair (a few cm) and since the surgery I have been wearing a short hairstyle only (1-5mm). Now I feel that in the last six months the hair status of my tonsure has worsened significantly. Either this is simply because my new short hairstyle simply makes the tonsure area more noticeable, or I've had a significant hair loss boost in the last six months - despite minoxidil. This brings me right to my question: does minoxidil work for me and should I continue to take it? Attached I upload a few photos: Picture 1: Hair status before hair surgery. Picture 2: Hair status before hair surgery (wet) Picture 3: Hair status shortly after hair surgery Picture 4: Day 1 of my Minoxidil application Picture 5: Status after 3 months of Minoxidil application Picture 6: Status after 5 months of Minoxidil application Picture 7: Status after 5 months of Minoxidil application other angle What would you guys recommend me? And what would you say, how has my status developed? Same, worse, better? I myself somehow find it super hard to evaluate the whole thing.... Thank you for any answer!

Regular Member HTjon Posted April 9, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 9, 2021 Two more pictures, after another month of Minoxidil application. So a total of six months so far. Am still unsure if it works on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
