My family is prone to male pattern baldness. My 30 yo brother now is at level 5-6 male baldness. I started to lose my hairline last year at 23 yo. Since then I have been taking finasteride 1mg & using regaine (minoxidil 5%) for about 9 months. I am now 24 and the M on my forehead is becoming more and more obvious so I am planning to get FUE hair transplant lowering my hairline after my Master exam in June. When should I stop using them? And should I still take finasteride after the surgery?

Answer: Finasteride and Minoxidil Generally Finasteride you can keep using immediately before and after the procedure. For Minoxidil, most doctors have you stop few days before and then continue using it around two weeks afterwards. The exact timeline really depends on your doctor's preferences since each has a slightly different pre- and post-op routine.
