Is it ok to use toppik after using rogaine?

Question

I am worried that the materials in toppik will react with rogaine making my hair loss worse.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

It's fine to use TOPPIK and any of the keratin fibers after Rogaine. It will not make the Rogaine less effective.  If you find you are not responding to Rogaine, it is likely because you are one of the 60-70 % that do no respond to Rogaine - not from use of fibers.

Dear keyboardtitan,

In general, non-surgical hair
restoration comprises the use of topical nutrient serums, the use of Rogaine to
increase blood flow, injections of PRP (plasma rich protein) and estrogen based
products as well as low-level light therapy. 
When used in an integrated fashion this can often stabilize hair loss
for some period of time.  The addition of
Propecia can halt the loss of hair and even facilitate some re-hair growth by
blocking the androgen production.

The use of Toppiks or camouflage
powders of the scalp is generally not healthy for sebum flow and other scalp
skin functions, but many men rely on it and therefore I advise patients for
best scalp health Toppiks is not the optimal product, but certainly can be used
when aesthetic camouflage is required.

I hope this information is of some
assistance and best of luck.

Yes, you can use Toppik after Rogaine as Toppik is relatively inert and as such will not react with it. .
