Will Medical Hair Loss Treatments Help Poor Hair Growth after Hair Transplant Surgery?

I had hair transplant surgery exactly a year ago. I was told it takes one year after surgery to regrow hair completely but after the one year it is only about 65% complete. Fortunately I saw your site talking about a hair loss treatment whilst browsing. How can I get access to this product to help me restore my lost hair completely or should I still wait for some time when it will be completed by itself?

If you have reached one year and feel that your hair transplant results are subpar, the first thing you should do is discuss your concerns with your hair restoration physician. While it’s true that some patients are slow growers, you should have seen the majority of your hair growth by this time. However, hair density may increase up to a full 18 months post-op.

I’m not certain which hair loss treatment you are referring to. Males with thinning hair are typically encouraged to use the clinically proven and FDA approved drugs Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) to stabilize balding and regrow hair. Hair transplant surgeons typically advise patients to use these products prior to and after surgery in order to maintain the best results.
