Hair Transplant Results without the Finasteride and/or Minoxidil

[eternal.denied84]

Hi, I am a new member here and I noticed almost all hair transplant results are in conjunction with the medications Finasteride and/or Minoxidil. Do we ever get good results without the Fin/Minoxidil ? I am considering hair transplant but I am a strict No- No for Minoxidil or Fin due to past side effects.

The short term results of a transplant do not really depend on the use of fin or min. However, the results you usually see in pictures are of people that weren't completely bald: what you see is the transplanted hair + the remaining native hair in the area. If you're not on medication, the latter won't stop thinning after your transplant, and the result won't look as good anymore a few years down the road.

I would agree with what the earlier poster said..actually if your hairloss is stable than you can consider HT but if not than you will keep loosing your native hairs and will always keep on chasing hairs..so first try to stabilise your hairloss..sometimes naturopathy too helps some people ....so you may try that....if it works on you than you may think abt a HT later on..

I would also add that hair transplants themselves can and do thin over time. Melvin recently did a YT video with top surgeons where this was discussed.
