Regular Member devil786 Posted January 12, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted January 12, 2014 Dear All, I have been through a hair transplant (FUT) a month ago ,and my doctor prescribed me to use Hairfin (Finasteride) and Minoxidil 5 % for 12 Months, I was wandering what if i stop Minoxidil 5% after 1 year, Will the transplanted hairs that are already dependent on Minoxidil will shred again? Please share your experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sunshineboy Posted January 12, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted January 12, 2014 From what ive read transplanted hairs are not minoxidil dependent however the hairs that grew back and from the use of minoxidil will begin to fall out if you stop using it.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted January 12, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2014 Devil, The transplanted hairs are permanent and won't be affected by stopping minoxidil, but any other regrowth of your native hair will be lost if you stop the medication. If you were able to halt any progressive hair loss or reverse thinning in any particular area of the scalp with the minoxidil, this will be lost when you stop. Hope this helps.

Regular Member devil786 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 13, 2014 what about the natural hairs available before the use of Minoxidil? will they also shred after stopping Minoxidil as they will be Minoxidil dependent?

Senior Member rev333 Posted January 13, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2014 "natural hairs available before the use of Minoxidil" will eventually miniaturize and fall out as well if they are programmed to minoxidil MAY help keep these around longer than they would have without but once you stop the minoxidil they will just go back to their gene "programmed" life span Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
