Senior Member John1991 Posted July 23, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2022 Is there any issue with using Rogaine 5% foam in the recipient area? I'm not talking about using it immediately post-op, but 3 months post op. And might it aid in the speed of growth? Thanks in advance for your time.

Senior Member BaldDude Posted July 23, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) after 3 months it should be fine, the redness should have mostly subsided. Edited July 23, 2022 by BaldBobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Nw7HPE Posted July 23, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2022 Post 1 month it s actually recommended that you start . You are 100 fine . And yes it speeds the growth and helps grafts regrow better in the first 8 months . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member John1991 Posted July 23, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Thanks. I use it mostly in my hair part line to increase thickness and the native hairs have shed a bit from cold-turkeying Rogaine post-op. The area barely has any grafts, so it's not actually all that relevant, but there are a few grafts sprinkled in area. I'm going to continue to not use it in the bulk of my transplanted area. No need to mess with (what so far) has been going well. Edited July 23, 2022 by John1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you do it is 100 percent fine , my Dr and couple of the best Docs that I know recommend that you start on the recipient area 1 month post-op . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. That means I can be even less concerned about avoiding the grafted area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
