Using a Rogaine Foam a year after FUE hair transplant? (Photo)

Question

transplanted 1500 grafts last year Nov. My transplanted hair result is no good almost looks like no improvement as before transplant. What I am thinking to use Rogaine 5% Minoxidil. Is it safe for me to use?? Or there is no chance of using Rogaine.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It may take six to twelve months to appreciate the results of a hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.There should be no issues with using Rogaine.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

Rogaine will only help you at this point. But at 1 year post-op it's doubtful you'll see much improvement in your transplant's results. Now is the time to confer with your surgeon over what may have gone wrong and what you want to do (if anything) to correct it.

Sean W. Delaney, MD · Answer

Rogaine (Minoxidil) works by making hair follicles thicker and grow longer. At one year follow hair transplant it is generally safe to resume topical Rogaine foam. Unfortunately, Rogaine will not help you grow new hair. I recommend consulting with a hair restoration specialist to discuss the best surgical and nonsurgical options available to you. Good luck.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

There is no chance of using Rogaine. First operation is failed and obviously You have to have a new session of hair implantation. That is your only chance .

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Thank you for posting your question. Yes, it is safe to use Minoxidil Topical 5% at this stage. You might want to consider using the Topical Liquid versus the Foam Minoxidil, which has a better efficacy. Make sure you continue using it for atleast 9 to 12 months before assessing its outcome. Hope this helps.
