I have to go to Russia 6 days after hair transplant surgery. Temperature is -12. Will this affect the results at all?

In general you should follow your doctor's diagnosis if you trust them. Procapil isn't proven to aid hair like Minoxidil is, but it certainly won't hurt and there shouldn't be any problems with it, especially if Minoxidil is giving you problems.

With this degree of hair loss, it's unlikely minoxidil or finasteride will have much effect. Hair loss in men is driven by genetics. A hair transplant might provide some density in the very front depending on the donor area. A multivitamin will not provide much benefit for your hair - if any at all.

         Wait the full year and then return to the surgeon to re-evaluate your results.   In the mean time, I hope you are using finasteride or minoxidil to help keep what you have.
