3 weeks post FUE, need advice regarding creatine use, LLLT, and best shampoo to use for optimal growth. (Photo)

Question

3 weeks p/o FUE and I am using propecia, minoxidil, and biotin supplements. I get dry skin post minoxidil, can I use babyoil after to keep hair moisturized, how long after minoxidil use? Can I take creatine containing preworkout for the gym like C4 ultimate? Currently using baby shampoo for 1st month, what shampoo considered gold standard for max hair growth, caffeine containing/DHT blocking? LLLT (iRestore) use post fue studies/publications and recommendations. Thanks in advance for your help.

Medications such a Propecia or Rogaine can help and for some people it may delay the balding for many years. Surgery also helps but it is just rearranging what you already have. Scalp MicroPigmentation also helps but that is not real hair. The point is that every option has its limitations. Oils, potions, shampoos, lasers, PRP, etc will not cure genetic balding.

Creatine can be taken provided that there are no steroids in it which is often not the case. There is no DHT blacking shampoo that really works
