Question:

Is it recommended to use Rogaine (Regaine) or Propecia after the surgery?

Answer:

Many hair transplant surgeons recommend the use of Rogaine (Regaine) and/or Propecia after the surgery, seeing as these can help the newly transplanted hairs to grow and become stronger. Additionally, it may be appropriate to continue the use of one of these products after the surgery. The medicine will have no effect on the newly transplanted hairs, which will not fall off once they are planted, anyway, but they will affect the non-transplanted hairs. This will help delay further hair loss in the other areas of the scalp. Please speak to your hair transplant surgeon about this.
