In general hair loss in men is due to genetic balding. Creatine does not cause male pattern hair loss.
Voris, I do not believe creatine leads to hair loss. Male pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia) really comes down to genetics. Either your follicles are prone to hormonal hair loss, or they are not. There may be some mitigating factors that can "set off" the loss a little sooner; however, any hairs you lose were genetically programmed to "fall out" eventually. And I don't really believe creatine in-and-of-itself will "set off" the loss. You need to speak with your clinic about re-starting the creatine. All clinics have slightly different post-operative instructions, and you must follow your doctor's instructions "to a T." Hope this helps! Dr. Blake Bloxham
When this substance has a steroid with it, it does cause hair loss and many people find this out too late.
Beard hair is a genetic trait similar to the color of your eyes and hair. Hair transplant may be an option.
It is not necessary to take antibiotics after a hair transplant surgery in general. However your doctor may have a specific reason or a regimen.
It's not required, but it is generally recommended for males, especially if they are younger. Finasteride does a good job of preventing shock loss following a transplant surgery. Otherwise it's likely you'll lose a significant amount of your remaining natural hair.
