It's my 15 day after op, I will start using Rogaine 5%; my doctor asked me to use it on old naive hair only. Is it possible to apply it on the new transplanted hair area? I am also using hair complex treatment from Skin Solutions by applying the solution and using the stamp once every 5 days; is it an efficient way to stimulate hair growth, especially that bleeding sometimes may occur?

Answer: Rogaine after hair transplantation It's good idea to follow your surgeon's instructions. If your surgeon wants you to only use it on the naive hairs, then only use it on the naive hairs. In general, Rogaine can be used on both original and newly transplanted hairs. In some cases, it may speed up the growth of transplanted hairs - but there's no evidence yet that it promotes survival of grafts or changes long term results

Answer: Rogaine on hair transplanted grafts I ran an experiment some years ago where I put Rogaine (Minoxidil) on half of the head and not on the other side. Twelve patients were done and there was no difference in the growth one side compared to the other. I concluded minoxidil has nothing to offer when the transplant was done correctly.
