Why after hair transplant maximum doctors recommended minoxidil (5%) using for 6 months for newly transplanted hair ? If any one can stop using minoxidil after 6 months then all newly transplanted hair will be gone? So my question is that after hair transplant , minoxidil using is necessary for whole life?
