Designer121 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I do not wish to use the typical chemical treaments prior or after a FUE transplant. Is it ok to proceed without using these ? Will it adversely affect the outcome of FUE ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ciaus Posted September 2, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 2, 2021 Its ok but its not optimal. Optimal is starting finasteride and minoxidil at least a year before you get a transplant to see how much the meds are going to help you regain and retain so you don't waste your donor hair. This can potentially save you alot of money and hair down the road that you may end up needing. You never need to stop taking finasteride before during or after the hair transplant. Minoxidil can potentially cause increased bleeding during the actual hair transplant procedure, so doctors will ask you to temporarily stop taking it 1-2 weeks before and after the transplant.
