Answer: Minoxidil Hello, thanks for your question. Minoxidil is effective in protecting the non-transplanted hairs by keeping them in anagen phase for longer. Patients often times need a blueprint for maintaining native hairs so that future procedures are not necessary. Transplanted hairs have been reported to grow faster with minoxidil. Evidence has been reported by several studies with limited numbers including at a Consensus Report at the 9th Annual Meeting in 2002. The main downside of minoxidil is irritation which is often mitigated by the use of foam. Best, Dr. Anil Shah
