Why it is a mistake to get a hairline transplant without being on finasteride/dutasteride for atleast two years. Transplants 10/12/2024
Getting a hair transplant without using finasteride or dutasteride for at least two years can waste donor hair, as these medications can lead to significant hair regrowth in areas like the crown and mid-scalp. Delaying a transplant allows for better results by maximizing natural regrowth and preserving donor hair for more needed areas.
