learn Hair Transplant

Can a hair transplant be combined with other treatments? Clinics commonly say a transplant is combined with other treatments, most often minoxidil, finasteride or PRP, but the evidence behind each add-on differs. Some of the add-ons offered, such as stem-cell or exosome products, are not approved treatments for hair loss.
What medications should I avoid before hair transplant surgery? Clinics often ask patients to pause blood thinners, anti-inflammatories and some supplements before surgery. Only stop a prescribed medicine with your prescribing doctor's approval.
Do I need to take medication after a hair transplant? Clinics often prescribe short courses of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines; many also suggest minoxidil or finasteride to protect non-transplanted hair, a choice to make with your prescriber.
