Should I use capillus laser cap if i am going for another hair transplant in 6 months time?

Question

Hi, i got hair transplant in frontal area, 6 month later I am going for second hair transplant on crown area as i am losing hair at crown area. If i start using capillus laser cap now, I am afraid the cap will be effective and my crown area will grow back the hair 6 months later and the second hair transplant can only put lesser grafts on my crown area. Since the laser grown hair is dht prone it may be gone in future if i stop using laser cap, while transplanted hair will not, I am in dilemma.

The Capillus definitely works works I would say that the results per dollar aren't necessarily worth it. My personal suggestion would be do a series of PRP treatments and then the transplant. Nothing is better than a transplant...yet.

I think it will help get you ready for the transplant.  Revitalizes the tissue and helps in regeneration.

The use of a laser cap will not significantly benefit you for growing hair and the cost of this product is very high

Worry not. There is little evidence that laser light therapy can grow anything that the average patient would call hair... let alone anything that could be extracted and moved to the front.
FDA cleared simply means that the FDA did not find any risk of harm and there are no other available treatments so we might as well let people try it. Much like propecia which still sells hundreds of millions and at the most may give some photographic fuzz in the crown area!!
Basically what is being sold at retail is a cap with some red lights inside. Nice mark-up if you can get it!!

After application of Minoxidil topical solution usp 5%, I have dandruff-like flakes on my scalp. What can I do?

I'm quitting Minoxidil on account of no change after 6 months. If I stop now, will it make my hair fall out suddenly?

Should I apply 5% Minoxidil only to the areas very affected by thinning (i.e.: temples)? Or the whole scalp?
