Procapil after HT? (Photo)

Question

hi, i had a transplantation before 3 & half months. i used a procapil 5% including hair spray for a month. my doctor told me it is enough using just a mounth but i wonder if it will help my hair to be healthier and grow better and stop the loss of existing hair and thicken the weak ones if i continue it for another one month or more (besides it i use biotin, saw palmetto, zinc including drugs)... please illuminate me on this matter, thanks.

Nothing you take will STOP genetic predisposition.  Propecia and Rogaine are the only two medication approved by the FDA to treat genetic male pattern hair loss but it is NOT a cure.  If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam.  This may or may NOT be normal. You may have had graft loss after surgery. In addition, not all the grafts may have take (failed grafts). Ultimately you won't really know until you see results in 6 to 12 months.

After a few months, there is nothing you can add that will accelerate or produce better hair transplant results. The best thing you could have done was pick a first class doctor to do the procedure

The only two FDA approved hair loss products in the market are propecia and minoxidil.  You can try using those for a few months to see if you notice a slow down or reverse of your hair loss.
