Senior Member londonhairlossvictim Posted September 13, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2021 As the question in the title, and how soon after the transplant did you go back to using it? Also foam or liquid or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCaps Posted September 13, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2021 The whole premise behind the use of medical therapy is to help you with retention and perhaps enhancement of the native hair. So, after doing your do diligence, you do decide to move forward with the med, it is for you to stay on it forever. If you stop, you will lose what you would have lost. So it does not do you any good to start and stop. A waste of money and time. Ask your doctor about the use pre and post op. Typically 7 days but each clinic has its own protocol. 5% is recommended for men. I would use the foam as the liquid is greasy. Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration.

By using Minoxidil daily does it ruin your original hair, the quality of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCaps Posted September 13, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2021 Yes. Actually - to any of the modalities available to combat this debilitating condition. The recommended dosage is twice a day to experience the full effect. So using daily should not be an issue unless you are experiencing some skin condition.
