What’s the Point of Staying on Propecia Forever If I Want a Hair Transplant?
If a man who has been on Propecia and after some years the hair loss continues and wants to get a hair transplant, what’s the point getting one if other places will just continue to thin where the drug used to be effective? Or should he just wait out a few years and see where it’s going and then get an HT? This is kinda complicated. Because all I read about men who got HT most of them never took Propecia before or just a few months before to prevent shock loss.
Propecia slows down the hair loss, but rarely completely reverses it, except on occasion in the crown… and even that is not permanent. Hair transplants have the potential to accelerate the hair loss process unless you are taking the drug (more so if you are in your early 20s and actively losing hair). Propecia may never stop you from achieving your final hair loss pattern, but it can slow it down so you do not spend your youth chasing the loss.
