I have hair transplant surgery for 8 months now and I took oral 0.5 mg minoxidil and 1 mg finasteride everyday as per doctor’s advice. Moreover, I have PRP TREATMENT every month together with the LTT. However, it seems like my hairs do not get any better compared to pre-operation (see photos). Also, recently, I faced severe hair shredding for the second time at month 7th. Is this normal? and should I continue the same practice and wait for reults after 12 months?
