Resuming Rogaine After Hair Transplant

Dear Dr Rassman,

Thank you for a world class question forum for balding, it is certainly one of the benchmark site for balding issues!

My question is, after a hair transplant on the frontal area/temples only, can one resume Rogaine on the vertex immediately? Since it is applied locally at the vertex and should not affect the frontal area. Also, when is a good time to resume Rogaine on the temple/frontal area after transplant in that area?

Once again, a million thanks for your insight!

Yes, you can resume using Rogaine on the crown immediately. I generally ask my patients to hold off on putting it directly on the recipient area for 5-7 days, though.
