Does an avodart/propecia shed mean one in the donor area as well?

Asked By:ryuzaki21 in Ponnur, Andhra Pradesh, India
I have been on generic finasteride for 3 years. Switched to an every day dose in January and have noticed an increase in shedding since. Including my hair in the donor area. Is this normal?

Answer: Donor hair (permanent hair) is not affected by Propecia (finasteride). If you have hair loss issues on your donor area
Congratulations on working towards restoring your hair. Using hair transplant with the strip method with leave a scar at the back of your hair and affect your tattoo. The latest FUE methods with Smartgraft tend not to leave any noticeable scars. Am not sure why you are going to India when there...
FUE is just a harvesting method. It does not relate to results. Keep in mind FUE is done with the head shaved. FUT is not. This may be an issue if you are a woman.
