Adam9B Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I have healthy thick hair overall with no visible thinning and had a successful HT on the hairline recession a few years ago I currently am going through Telogen Effluvium according to my Dr and most of the transplanted hair has fallen, I'm not on Minoxidil and do not want to depend on it but my Dr has advised me to use it to only speed up regrowth, I am taken aback about using it and I most certainly are not going to stay on it long term My question is If I use it only for a few months just to kick start regrowth of the transplanted hairs (normal thick hairs, there is no thinning or miniaturization)and then discontinue, will it affect my already healthy thick or surrounding hair? Can I use it only a couple of times a week just to enhance circulation? Thank You Edited February 22, 2022 by Adam9B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted February 22, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2022 The effectiveness of minoxidil for TE is very hit or miss. It's usually a self-limiting process. It won't impact your already healthy thick/surrounding hair. My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Adam9B Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Does anyone have experience with using minox a few times a week only for a few months with the purpose of speeding regrowth and then discontinue using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
