Minoxidil after Hair Transplant

[O_O_O_O_O]

Hi all,

What is the recommendation regarding returning to take Minoxidil after hair transplant ? 

I have semi diffused balding and am taking Minoxidil (by solution with Finasteride + orally) for around a year now with great improvement at hair growth and density. However some areas of my hair got too much tinning and lack of growth so I've done a HT at these areas couple of weeks ago (with the clinic recommendation of course). 

I've heard that there are benefits to faster hair shedding cycle and growth of transplanted hair with Minoxidil, and I also want to continue the good effects of Minoxidil on my native hair.

However, I assume that Minoxidil can also cause some damage to the HT if starting to take it too soon, however I do not know these bad effects (and would appreciate if you guys can elaborate on what they are).

 

I also assume that different clinics recommend different recovery method and times.

I was wondering what is the "general" and "common" recommendation regarding of when to start taking back the medication and why.

My clinic didn't know for sure and recommended me to generally take whatever I want after the "special shampooing " phase (which is about 14 days).

Thanks!

If you’re taking it orally you don’t have to stop it.

Can you please explain why ?

What is the danger in using topical Minoxidil on the transplanted area (which my clinic said needs to avoid longer than topical Finasteride for example) .

Also, what is the recommended time to wait for the topical usage after the HT ?

Alos#2, Does these 'to-avoid' recommendations apply also on part at my scalp which are clean and were not transplanted (my HT was done only on the frontal and front half of the middle scalp).

Thanks
