Hello, I am having a second FUE procedure to add density to what I believe was a very successful FUT procedure I had one year ago. I experienced shock loss of native hairs during my first, but thankfully they grew back. This transplant will be placing transplanted hairs between the previously transplanted hairs to add density. Given that these are non-native hairs, will they experience shock loss? I am on Finasteride 1mg daily and Minoxidil.

Answer: About the possibility of shock loss Basically, yes they can experience shock loss too, even though they are transplanted. Shock loss is caused by physical trauma made in the area of transplantation. It basically indirectly damages the area and might block or decrease the blood circulation. Therefore, your transplanted hair could get shock loss as well. Do not panic, they'll grow back. And please keep in mind that, it "can" happen. Maybe you won't have any shock loss at all, it is up to the reaction of your body.

Answer: Shock loss Usually if you had a hair transplant within a year and especially if you are on finasteride, there is little risk of shock loss again. Shock loss hits the miniaturized hairs which have already been shocked out from the first shock loss procedure. Taking finasteride, usually prevents shock loss for even the first procedure with 90% certainty.
