How long after FUE transplant can I use Minoxidil 5% and dandruff shampoo?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.

Hussain Rahal, MD · Answer

It is strongly recommended a twice-daily lifetime use of Rogaine (minoxidil 5%), beginning 2 weeks after your surgery (to help your grafts grow faster). If your scalp is sensitive to Rogaine, then instead use it once daily for 3 days a week. Since you would be using Minoxidil, you can expect to potentially experience dryness and flakiness. For shampoos, after 14 days post-op you can begin to alternate daily between Regenepure DR and NT shampoo (or a similar line).

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

You can start to use minoxidil and other hair growth supportive drugs or food supplaments  (those contains biotin, zinc, folic acid, methionine, saw palmetto etc) 2 weeks after surgery. You may wash your head  just like before operation how often and which shampoo you use.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Minoxidil has not value to promote graft growth and unless you were on the drug prior to the hair transplant, I would advise you not to adict your hair to minoxidil as you wait to see the results of the transplant
