Why do I need to take minoxidil and finasteride after hair transplant? Which are the medicines that you need to take after a hair transplant? Do you need minoxidil and finasteride even after a hair transplant? Do these medicines help even after a hair transplant?

Your surgeon will give you several post-op care instructions after the hair transplant. You need to take a lot of care of your scalp. The most important step is taking medicines. Your surgeon will recommend medicines like Minoxidil and Finasteride. These medicines are essential to get the overall best results.

So let us understand why it is important to use Minoxidil and Finasteride after the hair transplant. You know that topical minoxidil and oral finasteride tablets help in treating androgenetic hair loss and male pattern baldness. Minoxidil aids in elongating the anagen or growth phase of the hair. Furthermore, Minoxidil increases blood circulation to the scalp which helps thin or vellus hair to become thick again. Your existing hair also becomes stronger.

Oral finasteride reduces the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. It acts as a DHT blocker and blocks the conversion action of 5-alpha-reductase. These medicines are prescribed for many cases of hair loss and these are quite effective.

Out of all the hair loss treatments, only these two are FDA approved. But why are these medicines recommended after a hair transplant? Do they aid in the growth of transplanted hair? Minoxidil and Finasteride don’t save transplanted hair. However, they aid in preventing hair loss of the native or existing hair.

These medicines don’t have any role in the growth of transplanted hair. Your donor area is limited, which means that we cannot extract unlimited hair from the donor area. That is why it is essential to preserve the hair on the donor area. That is why surgeons prescribe these medicines after hair transplant.

During the hair transplant surgery, your surgeon extracts grafts from the donor area and implants them in the recipient area.
The larger the recipient area, that is, the more extensive the hair loss – the bigger the donor area. The follicles in the donor area are different than the follicles in the bald area. You must have noticed that hair loss or balding generally occurs on the forehead,
temples and the vertex of the head. But the hair at the back of your head is safe from hair loss. The donor follicles are not sensitive to normal DHT or dihydrotestosterone levels. This zone is the so-called permanent hair zone as well. When they are transplanted to the balding areas of the scalp, they grow regularly.

Minoxidil and Finasteride protect the native or non-transplanted follicles from hair loss and improve the overall density of hair. But there are other situations in which your surgeon may prescribe Minoxidil. If your surgeon has misjudged the margins of your donor area and extracted hair beyond that then the hair affected by DHT may be implanted in the recipient area. In these cases, the follicles that are prone to hair loss need to be saved from shedding and your surgeon may recommend these two medicines.

You need to remember that these medicines do not work instantly. You have to consistently take them because if you stop, the hair loss may start again. There is another situation in which surgeons may prescribe these medicines. Some patients experience shock loss after hair transplants and lose some transplanted hair. It is necessary to take these medicines to prevent this. Finasteride prevents the shedding of transplanted hair. So what should you do?

The success of your hair transplant depends on various factors. Minoxidil and Finasteride have no effect on transplanted hair. But they will improve the overall results of the transplant. Basically, Finasteride and Minoxidil will help to preserve the original hair and to balance it the surgeon will prescribe these medicines.
