Senior Member makehairgreatagain Posted October 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 20, 2021 If you're really concerned, you need to contact your doctor who can evaluate you and have you go into their office. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ciaus Posted October 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 20, 2021 The good news is shockloss is almost always temporary. Try to remain calm, because excessive chronic stress can also cause more temporary shedding. Since you're three weeks after the procedure, its fine to start minoxidil. Just be aware that you may initially experience some more hair shedding not related to the shock loss as the minoxidil starts to work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted October 20, 2021 Moderators Share Posted October 20, 2021 If it's shock loss it will grow back on its own.

digi23 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Definitely shock loss. You need to wait like 3-6 months before it grows back, need patience. You starting alot of threads you should just chill out, dont worry it will be just fine. You should have a review thread where you say the Dr, amount of grafts and then just post everything there so its easy to follow your journey, then you dont need to make a new thread everytime you have a question.

Its about shock loss from the transplant, if you have a thread you can ask everything in the thread and it will also help alot for people to follow your journey because they might be interested in Dr Resul Yaman aswell.

I see the driver there with face mask He was driving me all the time, I also did mine with Dr Yaman. 4000 grafts is alot of grafts, I hope they did a good job with extraction specially because you are only 24 years old and already have lost alot of hair.

One of the primary ways that Minoxidil works is to make the growth cycle for your hairs longer. That change can cause temporary shedding when you stop or start it. You don't need to apply the minoxidil to your donor hair permanently though. In the areas you are losing hair, If you are going to address your hair loss with hair transplants and you have a more severe loss pattern, its always best to take finasteride and minoxidil forever if you don't get side effects to help you hold on to as much of your hair and enhance them as possible. You don't want to run out of hair down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not have any shedding at all. I didn't when I started minoxidil, but then other guys report that they do. That donor hair that has been shocked into the resting phase due to your surgery is not vulnerable to the hormones that cause loss like the hairs on top so I think you probably have an even better chance of either not shedding at all or the shedding being fairly minor. Most of what guys shed when they stop are the vulnerable hairs on top that they were going to lose anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
