Frequently Asked Questions
Which medication should I take after a Hair Transplant?
Minoxidil
Minoxidil applied in non-transplanted areas, works like finasteride/dutasteride (although it is less potent than these), that is, preventing the progression of alopecia. However, applied in the transplant area after 6 weeks, it has been shown to accelerate the growth of the grafts.
Finasteride & Dutasteride
Based on your specific case (type of alopecia, medication taken etc.), the specialist may have decided to prescribe finasteride or dutasteride to prevent progression of alopecia, avoiding the need for a second transplant in the short term.
These medications can help to prevent progressions of alopecia to avoid a second transplant in the short term.
