Does transplanted hair affect the other follicles around it and does it affect hair growth from Rogaine?

Transplanted hair can
affect other hair follicles and hair growth from Rogaine. Shock hair loss may
occur which will cause surrounding hair to shed, due to the impact of the
surgery. One will typically experience efficient results from hair
transplantation surgery and can continue to use Rogaine for transplanted hair. Click

transplants:

Transplanted hairs can affect surrounding hairs after surgery due to the shock of the surgery.  This is called shock hair loss which can happen if the surrounding hairs are weak and have been rapidly falling out in the preceding months.  Rogaine does not affect transplanted hairs.

A hair transplant can kill some surrounding hair and even trigger them to shed. Transplanted hair might grow a bit faster from Rogaine but is not affected nearly to the same degree as original non- transplanted hairs.
