learn Hair Transplant

Do I need to take medication after a hair transplant? Medication is often recommended after a hair transplant to support healing and prevent further hair loss.
Do I need to take medication after the transplant? Clinics commonly prescribe a short course of antibiotics and pain relief after a transplant, and some recommend minoxidil or finasteride to protect the hair you still have; what applies to you is your surgeon's and prescriber's call.
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.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Can I use hair loss treatments (finasteride, minoxidil) after scalp micropigmentation? About half of clinics say finasteride can continue through scalp micropigmentation, and about half ask clients to pause topical minoxidil during the sessions and for roughly 30 days afterwards. That pause is clinic aftercare convention, not a label instruction - ask your prescriber first, because stopping minoxidil usually causes shedding.
