Using Rogaine on Transplanted Hair Area

Hello Doc,

Nice to know of this site. I appreciate your help in answering queries for hair loss victims. I am 27 yr old male and I had a hair transplant on my crown earlier this year and to date its more than 7 months. The transplanted hair looks good but its not covering my full scalp. I think I need an another procedure. I am on generic finerstride and minidoxil 5%. I wanted to check with you regarding the usage of rogaine. if I use the rogaine on my transplanted hair area, is there any chance if at all it is there to grow new hair in those gaps.

If there is a chance Rogaine (minoxidil) will grow hair between your hair transplants, it is a very small one… and if it does grow hair, it will not likely cover your bald area. Isn’t that why you had a hair transplant in the first place? Unless I’m misunderstanding you, why didn’t you try the medications before your first hair transplant to see if they might help?
