Q)For how long after hair transplant should one use minoxidil spray? Is it beneficial in all cases? Q) How long after hair transplant can one virgurously rub or scratch with fingernails to remove scabs?
Answer: Minoxidil Spray after Hair Transplant I start patients on minoxidil if I see a lot of miniaturization of hair follicles on their scalp. It is generally a lifelong medication. Once stopped, any hair that was saved by the minoxidil will be lost over time. After 5-6 days you can scratch and rub the grafts however I would recommend trying to remove the scabs with frequent showering and washing vs sitting and trying to pick off all the scabs.

Answer: Minoxidil After Hair Transplant It is not mandatory to use minoxidil after a hair transplant in all cases. Sometimes your hair transplant doctor recommend that due to the high levels of miniaturization (fineness of hair shaft in microscopic evaluation) that may predict more hair loss immediately after and due to the stress of hair transplant (shock loss).That is mostly to prevent your native hair to fall in an accelerate rate after hair transplant. Finasteride is a better medication that helps to minimize shock loss in men. However, for women I recommend minoxidil (Rogaine) after hair transplant.You can scratch your scalp after the first 5 days from your hair transplant.
