Question

Hello doc,its been 1 year that I did my hair transplant surgery.The overall growth is quite decent.Can I take CORTISONE (steroid) injections from dermatologist to add some more growth.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Steroid injections do not treat male pattern balding.  Please consult with your doctor about the treatment you are receiving.

dont do that , you may even loose your hair more and depressed scars on your scalp ... you would better to get a revision of hair restoration surgery

There is no value in having cortisone injections 1 year after a hair transplant. It could cause hair loss to your native hair.
