Answer: Rogaine will not likely speed up the growth after a hair transplant surgery.

Dear Balding21Thanks for the question. There is no age limit as such for a hair transplantation. But people under the age group of 18 years to 80 years usually options for hair transplantation as the symptoms of balding and spot balding occur within this span of life. I wish you all the best.
If my patients are using fibers to conceal balding I have them stop using it for 2-3 weeks after their surgery. At 5 months you can use it without any problems and it should not have any effect on the transplanted follicles.
These problems must be evaluated by your doctor. This does not sound like a normal post operative course and only your doctor just judge if these symptoms are significant problems.
