community My donor hair is still red after a year and a half.

58 upvotes 2 months ago

The conversation is about a user experiencing redness and tingling in the donor area after a hair transplant, with suggestions to use treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil.

community Why it is a mistake to get a hairline transplant without being on finasteride/dutasteride for atleast two years.

in Transplants 10 upvotes 1 year ago

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.
