Do You Still Need Hair Loss Medication After a Transplant?
Quick answer: Often yes: a transplant moves hair but does not stop pattern hair loss in the surrounding native hair, so doctors commonly recommend continuing medical treatment such as minoxidil or, for suitable men, finasteride; your doctor will advise.
- Why: Native hair continues to follow its genetic pattern.
- Options: Discuss with your doctor.
- Looking after the scalp: Healthy scalp habits help overall appearance.
