The longer the better, but 3-4 weeks should cover you. Stay on the medications until all of the results are achieved and then consider staying on the drug for life. Talk with your doctor about this.

I do not know what may be going on with you and your hair transplants. I would discuss these issues with your doctor who performed your surgery. Generally, hair transplants are permanent and if they came out (from a previous procedure) they should return. I have seen this about 6 times out of the thousands […]
Whatever damage you had from the hair transplant (shock loss) should be over by now. Ask your doctor these questions. What you are seeing with your eyes is real, so he should be able to comment on what he sees when he examines you. Although the use of Propecia has shown good value at preventing […]
If you were continuously on Propecia (finasteride) and then started immediately on dutasteride when you stopped Propecia, as they are both DHT blockers that work on the same mechanism, I would expect that the protection will be there already. For our readers, I believe you are concerned about developing shock loss in the existing hair […]
I generally advise men to take Propecia (finasteride 1mg) before and after a hair transplant surgery indefinitely. If a patient is completely resistant to taking Propecia for long periods, I generally advise them to take it at least one year post surgery. It may aid in preventing shock loss and the patient may even see […]
If you have active male pattern baldness (MPB), then yes, it could impact your hair and cause hair loss.
You should not have shock loss with transplanted hair — that is, hair that has been moved from your permanent area to new recipient sites. If you’ve had a previous transplant in the past 3 years or so and are taking finasteride, the risk of shock hair loss is very low.
It is true that finasteride may be causing the decreased libido, as it occurs in 1 to 2% of the males who take the medication. A decreased volume of ejaculate is also a known side effect reported in over 10% of men. However, there is also a possibility that your sexual problems may be related […]
If you are a young man and had hair loss following a transplant and have not been treated with Propecia, then the hair loss probably will be permanent. I don’t understand why your doctor has not seen it before. Does he do many hair transplants? When a hair transplant is done properly by an experienced […]
Shock loss in a person who had three hair transplant procedures in the past with no loss would be unusual. I can not tell you about the techniques offered to you by your surgeon, but if you trust your surgeon and you understand what he/she is going to do, go for it. Be sure to […]
The earlier you start the drug before a hair transplant, the better it works for you. Ideally I might guess 2 months, but 2 weeks might work as well. I really don’t know for sure. I just know it works and for those people who were on it for 2 weeks, I still see the […]
There is no connection between ibuprofen and preventing shock loss after hair transplantation. To my knowledge there is no connection between Propecia and ibuprofen either.
Because of the protective effect against shock hair loss, you should’ve been taking Propecia (finasteride 1mg) prior to the hair transplant surgery — so the question now is whether you started it early enough (best a few weeks before the procedure). Accelerated hair loss associated with a hair transplant is most probably caused by shock […]
The use of the word “should” rather than “will” is a way of predicting the future. Let’s not play language games here. Shock loss, when it occurs in men with genetic hair loss, can (not “will”) accelerate the hair loss process by a few years and this can (again, not “will”) be prevented with the […]
Nobody really knows for sure. Shock loss in a man with genetic hair loss often just accelerates the hair loss process. In women, a telogen (sleep) phase occurs and the hair almost always grows back. In men, it is thought that hair lost from “shock†after a hair transplant surgery is mainly the weaker miniaturized […]
