The Role of Minoxidil Post Hair Transplant

[@kavishasinghal-B1]

For the past six months, I have been using this liittleextra reactiavate growth serum and I have noticed significant improvement in my hair growth. In the past, I had been using some other serums for a long time, but they didn’t helped me. I feel fortunate to have discovered this serum, and at last protect my hair!

[@surbhisachdeva60]

I simply use Cocoonioon oil and Reactivate serum by Littlellextra, and my hair is so thick and beautiful.

Hello I'm not really good at English so can u please tell me, is it necessary to use minoxidil or any other products after hair transplant or not?

[@oaportfolio4248]

@@ccbax9897 Finesteride is a must to stop further hairloss. For example, if you've only had a hairline transplant, you may want to maintain other areas like your crown otherwise depending on your genetics you might experience further hairloss. Minoxidil works differently where it will help areas of thinning grow thicker or helps speed up growth in transplanted hairs. You can use both. I would take finesteride first and if you experience side effects (very rare) then go for minoxidil but remember you have to use everyday and you will shed hair first before you see results. Can take 3 months. I normally use once a day before bed because it stays in your bloodstream for 18 hours. Easier to maintain and works out cheaper (save more)

[@ccbax9897]

@@oaportfolio4248 I see, thank you for helping me out. So transplanted hair won't fall out regardless if you take any products or not but you need to take them for the rest of the hair which is not transplanted right?

Thank you so much for the video. Just got a 3600 hair transplant done and I’m being really cautious with the healing. One Q I had was is it OK to use oral minoxidil instead of the topical (it really makes my hair more prone to breakage and irritates my scalp)? Thanks

Thanks for the video. Can you do a video on if topical minoxidil causes skin aging? Thanks.

[@RenePeraza]

Because my HT was to improve my general thinning condition (and crown - my natural hairline was already nice)n the 'shock loss' potential almost dissuaded me. The disturbance of the native hair was in fact shifted into a loss cycle sooner that would have been. Didn't do it immediately but began using minoxidil within 3 months and continue to do so.
