Rogaine after hair transplant?

[Some1]

Hi,

I've recenlty got hair transplant and I was wondering when or if I should start using Rogaine. If yes, should I apply it on all over my head or just on the areas which does not have transplanted hair? I hear that Rogaine causes some hair loss during the first 3 months. Is there a possibility of losing my transplanted hair permanently due to Rogaine use? And why do some doctors recommend using Rogaine after hair transplant? I know that transplanted hair will not be shed 'coz of DHT. So why bother with Rogaine?

Thank you

I dont think its necessary, ask your surgeon what he thinks.

Did you Doctor suggest using rogain for two weeks? i've heard this helps the healing time as it improves blood flow to the head

Start using it immediately after the transplant, 48-72 hrs. One study showed it hastens growth and may even prevent the usual shedding of the newly grafted hair.
