hi everyone,

I'm getting a procedure done in a little over two weeks, and i had heard that using minoxidil for 2-3 weeks before a procedure is good to reduce shockloss and post-surgery shedding. My question is that if i start today and take it for about two weeks prior to my procedure, will the period that i have to stop using it (4 days before + 8 days after=12 days total) cause me to loose any hairs permanently? thanks for any input you can give.

You will start to shed once you apply the minoxidil, and then stop using it, you might even shed more...

I would just wait until after your procedure... but that's just my opinion.

Any other suggestions anybody?
