Is there anything to help stimulate hair growth after radiation treatment?

Dear cench28Thanks for the question. If it would do, so everybody should have hair loss. Nowadays everybody has a TV or smartphone. The answer is "no" it does not effect your hair transplantation. I wish you all the best.

Some doctors may recommend vitamins, biotin, minoxidil etc.  But these are generic recommendations.  For hair loss related to radiation treatment, only time will tell.

Both temporary and permanent hair loss can occur after radiation therapy, depending on the amount of scalp affected. You'll know within 6-8 months whether the affected areas will be permanent or temporary as most regrowth will have occurred again by 6-8 months.What are the options?a) If the area is small, hair transplants work very well and we've transplanted many patients with radiation induced hair loss. b) scalp micropigmentationc) low level laser therapy and topical minoxidil. It's not clear when best to use these therapies, but likely within the immediate period after radiation to stimulate injured follicles.  That's the only period that it will likely be useful. Studies are needed but I advise use of minoxidil after redness (from the radiation) has settled. Individuals considering minoxidil or low level laser should check with their oncologist for confirmation.REFERENCES:1) Radiation- and chemotherapy-induced permanent alopecia: case series.Haider M, Hamadah I, Almutawa A.J Cutan Med Surg. 2013 Jan-Feb;17(1):55- 2) Hair transplantation in alopecia due to radiation.Nordström RE, Holsti LR.Plast Reconstr Surg. 1983 Oct;72(4):454-8.
