  7. IS TOPICAL FINASTERIDE...

Is topical finasteride safe to use after FUE hair transplant?

August 6, 2022
Asked By:Kumo22 in Haleyville, AL

Hey there, can’t find any information post FUE procedure about topical finasteride being safe to use on your scalp. Would this damage/kill the grafts, clog pores etc? I found a combination 6% minoxidil and 0.3% finasteride spray online that I am interested in. My clinic was unable to answer my question about this unfortunately. Thanks to anyone who can help with this!
