5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why do so many people who get hair transplants not know they need to take finasteride after to keep it?
Many people are unaware that finasteride is needed after a hair transplant to maintain non-transplanted hair, as transplanted hair is generally DHT resistant. Ignorance and misinformation from clinics contribute to this misunderstanding.
community Dutasteride and Minoxidil post transplant advice needed
The user has been using Dutasteride and Minoxidil successfully for hair loss and is advised to double the doses post-transplant, but is skeptical about the necessity. Other users suggest maintaining the current dose and caution against potential side effects from increasing the dosage.
community Can a hair transplant be successful with this much loss?
Use minoxidil and finasteride for 1-2 years to promote regrowth and stabilize hair loss before a transplant. Long-term use of these medications is needed to maintain results and prevent further loss.
community Topical Metformin for Hair Transplant donor area skin/hair regeneration?
Topical Metformin shows potential for regenerating hair follicles and minimizing scarring in hair transplant donor areas, similar to Verteporfin but without its side effects. The discussion suggests considering Metformin for post-hair transplant care, though more human trials are needed.
community So did the experiments with verteporfin for hair transplant scarring regrowth fall through?
Verteporfin reduces scar tissue in hair transplants but doesn't significantly regrow hair follicles. More testing is needed to determine its effectiveness.
