I got my 4000 graft hair transplant done in June 2015. Lost around 50-60% of transplanted hairs after 2 months and then shedding stopped. Now I am almost at 5 months mark...for last 2-3 weeks I have noticed some hair shedding again. Is that normal to shed some hair around 5 month post surgery. Just worried if I am going to loose these new hairs. I am not using any medication. I have hairmax laser which I use 2-3 times a week. Is that ok or should I stop that. Just order Biotin. Any suggestion?

Scalp Micropigmentation SMP does not affect transplanted hair or harm existing hairs. We routinely do combination SMP and hair transplant at my practice.
Here at my practice we have been using lasers since 2003. I was very skeptical at first but I have seen first hand the benefit of using LLLHT.You typically don't need lasers to make the hair transplant grow if the surgery has been done properly in the first place however, what the laser is doing...
The follicles that are transplanted will retain the properties of the donor site. Thus, they will not die from DHT. However, understand testosterone therapy can kill more follicles that are DHT prone. Other common questions are answered in the attached video.
