Using Rogaine After a Hair Transplant

Hi Dr. Rassman, I recently had a hair transplant at your facility, everythings going well, my question to you is, can i apply rogaine on my newly transplanted hair, I read that when you apply rogaine, the hairs fall out at first, and then it grows back, is that true? I’m afraid if I apply rogaine to the transplanted area, the hair’s will fall out and not grow back. Your response will be greatly appreciated.

I’d say to wait at least 7-10 days before using the Rogaine near the transplanted hairs. Using Rogaine Foam would likely be the best way to go about it, as it is easier to apply (requiring less rubbing on the area).
