A great breakdown Dr Bhatti of the uses of and reasons why, of medication after a hair transplant, regardless of the scale of hair loss and a patient's age. Thanks for sharing!
Hair transplantation - Minoxidil Question: I have Norwood 2. I have been taking Finasteride for a year, but unfortunately, I have not seen much improvement. Initially, I only took 1mg three times a week, but now I take 1.25mg daily. It hasn't gotten much worse, but it hasn't gotten any better either. I have a hair transplant appointment in October. Im thinking of going on Minoxidil and my doctor said I could try it out. However, I read on the internet that Minoxidil should be stopped for about 7 days before and after the hair transplant. My question is, should I start using Minoxidil now and stop using it for two weeks in 5 months because of the hair transplant? Or should I wait until after my hair transplant to start using Minoxidil? On the one hand, I want to stop my hair loss and promote hair growth as soon as possible, but on the other hand, I am afraid that the back-and-forth use of Minoxidil could do more harm than good. Or is stopping Minoxidil for 2 weeks not a big deal? Thank you in advance. To clarify, my concern is that if I start using Minoxidil now to achieve fuller hair, the doctor may use weakened hair from my donor area that has been treated with Minoxidil for the hair transplant, resulting in potential hair loss at the front in 3-6 years. Therefore, I wonder if would be more prudent to wait until after the hair transplant to ensure that the implanted hair is strong and stable before beginning Minoxidil use. How long should I wait after the hair transplant before using Minoxidil?
Excellent video Dr. Should I not take fluoxetine due to possible hair loss? I want to continue taking finasteride. Just wanted to see if taking an anti depressant would help lower the brain fog and depression. Thanks!
This was my most waiting video. Thanks for uploading. As usual you took those 7:30 Min video into next level. Sir, I have a Quick question. Is it required to take PRP after a HT surgery? Will the results vary for with PRP and without PRP?
Thankyu for this wonderful knowledge sir, please guide me one thing its been 180 days now of my HT, should i stop minox and finas. Completely or slow down it or take on alternatively days, i didnot use it on native hairs , grade 5 baldness , and hairs are still thin, t
Hi doctor bhatti, i have a question my dermatologist suggested me to use minoxidil 10% at night and rendesyl on the morning though I don’t see any side effects but just asking is it all right i am unsure about rendesyl as it does not have any studies to prove it works. Please answer
I do not use medications that do not have long term established utility on my patients since do not want to risk their hair in experimentation. 10% Minoxidil is of no use. Beyond 5% M, the benefits do not increase, only the side effects do.
Hello doctor, I have a doubt. When can you do Keratin or Cysteine treatment on hair after an HT? My hair is very frizzy and curly post HT. It used to be very silky and straight before. Would you suggest any other treatments?
How you Doc! A question. 14-18 days after procedure, the crusts fall off.. Now, we start on 2% minoxidil and if it stays good to skin we switch to 5%. How do you apply this? - Procedure of application of this foam? Like, we cover the scalp(donor/receptor) with foam, leave it for few minutes and then rinse it away? or just apply and leave it and not rinse it at all? is it twice a day?
Thank you for this information but one question if I apply minoxidil for 5 months and I stop using it did my transplant hair fall again ?because i go to clinic for hair transplant and they said you will use it all your life.
Follow your doctor's advice since he has seen you in person. Your hair might not be permanent in the donor zone. But rather than Minoxidil, Finasteride is more useful in such situations.
Sir . Thanks for this video . I have had transplanted my hair five and half months back . I had 7 grade baldness and 8200 hair had been grafted . While I use shampoo or minixodil I find 7-8 thin hairs in my palm , Is it normal after five month of operation and after 5 months of use of minioxidil ?
I've a quick question doctor. Its my 11 day of HT. My doc has prescribed me finesteride & biotin tablets and neurotrat as well. Can I go for growth factor concentrate or prp as my pre existing hair is also thin. Please educate me on this. And yes one more thing! What's your take on genetic baldness. Can It be stopped?
Your doctor is right in suggesting what he did. PRP does not help in baldness since it is not a DHT blocker however it decreasesthe resting phase of the natural hair cycle making more hair appear on the scalp at any given time. For your last question: th-cam.com/video/jLQTzLM5-8c/w-d-xo.html

Hi Dr as always you share lots of knowledge. After hair transplant hair is getting dry (Due to daily hair wash and minox) what one should do to keep hair it moist, soft and bright ?
Thank you. You can use aloe vera once a week or twice a week. if you are past 3 months after hair transplant and Minoxidil is causing a lot of dryness and flakiness of the skin, you can stop it and continue only Finasteride, since Minoxidil id not a DHT blocker.
If you're at a Norwood 2 stage with some thinning in your donor area, and you've been taking Finasteride for 2 years, and recently had a hair transplant, should you consider using topical minoxidil for at least 6 months, or even longer? If you stop using it after 6 months, could your existing native hair fall out or become super thin, potentially making your situation worse than if you hadn't used minoxidil at all?
Thank you so much for the great info - very helpful. I'd have one question for the prednisolone. What is your recommended dosage for this drug? Thanks in advance.
Hi sir, i am using minoxidil 5 percent once a day from last 6 month, initially i see some good result but i lose some hair while applying it. Should i have to switch to 10 percent?
Hello dr Bhatti, thank you for making these amazing videos, along with all the medicines, do you think prp sessions are a compulsory after a hair transplant ? Without prp would the grafts grow healthy and can we obtain a great result along with medications ? Would you recommend prp to your clients post op ?
Thanks! And thanks for subscribing to my channel. I do not subscribe to the belief that PRP does any good after a hair transplant. It is not a DHT blocker. It is neither an alternative to Finasteride nor is it of any use with Finasteride. Finasteride + Minoxidil combination is all you need after a hair transplant. I only use PRP in 2 instances- (a) to sore grafts alongwith A-Cell during my In vivo preservation technique which is part and parcel of my 'Anagen +' technique and (2) when a patient wants me to.
Post transplant have used dutasteride for a month and switched to finastride basen on dr. Advise because I was having low sex drive, erection problem, but even after using finastride for 2 months same problem as before lox sex libido, and no erection. So after using for 3 months since my transplant so would stopping the medicine. Moreover finastride affect lipid profile like it raises triglycerides... Before transplant triglycerides were 152 and after 3 months it is 192 which is high at borderline. It is the same food patterns have using before and now. Please advise will my hair still grow by stopping the finastride only .
If your hair loss has stabilised, stopping Finasteride will not affect. If it is still progressive, you will reach your destined baldness grade as encrypted in your genetics.
Would dutastride be more beneficial after hair transplant compared to finastride. Or can you combine the both, so that you can you finastride in week days and dutastride on weekends ?
Hi doctor , I will be going for partial shaven hair transplant… is it good idea??? And 2nd I don’t wanna take finastried , I will be relying upon biotin and onion oil only .. plz give your suggestion
I have done my hairtransplant since 2.5 months and doctr has prescribed 1. Minoxidil 5mg 2. Biotin 3. Genesis tablets But i am not using any because i have some other health problems.. Will it be affecting tge growth of my hairs that has been planted ? Or these meducines are just to speed up the process ?
This question cannot be answered without seeing pictures. The answer will be different for different donor hair, for different age groups and levels of balding. However, one thing is common- not taking Finasteride does not allow control over normal growth of planted grafts.
Can a hair Transplanted of 7th stage take Tab Finistar, hair foliage, Evion forte and cord liver oil capsule all the four in a day for about 6 months. Plz advise .
Grade 7 with slick baldness will not benefit since hair roots have gone. If you have sufficient thinning hair it will have a good effect. Other vitamins/ supplements have no effect on hair loss when genetics are at play.

If i didn’t use at all will it affect the quality of transplanted hair like thickness, growth, longevity etc. Ps - i have doing front area correction only and the grafts are 2000. I have read so many people saying including doc that once you start minoxdl it can’t be stopped and finastrde causing so many side effects regarding reproduction. Pls do rply Thanks in advance.
Hi Doctor. Had hair transplant 5 months and now a lot of white pimples on the transplant area. Is this normal? What is the treatment for this condition? Thanks!!!
Hi sir i have done HT 1 year back and used topical minoxidil oral finasteride for 8 months, now im planning to stop oral finesteride, and srart (Minoxidil and topical finesteride solution) so pls tell me your opinion
Minoxidil is started after crusts have fallen off at 2 weeks after hair transplant. We recommend 2% Minoxidil for 2 weeks since I wish to be sure there will be no skin reaction to it since skin is sensitive immediately after surgery. If there is no reaction , I ask the patient to switch to 5% Minoxidil which is continued once a day till 6 months are over after the hair transplant. It is however the patient's choice if he wants to continue to use it thereafter.
Hello Doctor . Recently i saw your excellent and well educated video on youtube regarding minoxidil and its safe usage. I have taken lotinen 10mg half a pill each day for 5 months and approximately a month ago I had a hair transplant FUE procedure . Due to the procedure my doctor told me to stop the usage of loniten as it is no good for the hair transplant . So my whole scalp turn into sparse and thin . I mean i can see through my eyes the scalp clearly at some spots . What do you think i should do?
@@hairtransplantinindia So you think i should ask my doctor to prescribe me again loniten and also maybe finasteride and biotin ? Isn't that a fault of his not to prescribe them already?
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you very much for your advise doctor . One last question , if I may , what is your opinion about dutasteride instead of finasteride in my case ?
There is no alternative. However many have got a good result without it. But it's like taking a chance. Finasteride is not at all as bad as you think it is.
Hello Doctor, I had hair transplant at front sides and crown 3 months ago. I have lost lot of non transplanted / native hairs . When will they grow back. What needs to be done?
That's really helpful video for me sir.. I did transplantation 2days before my donor area was good and the extracted grafts are taken from beard and back area of head.. Sir I have doubt weather my result will come good because doctor told me that they have transplanted 6700grafts..
This questions cannot be answered since the answer will differ from person to person. The scalp donor deteriorates with age in some people. In these people the transplanted hairs with age will begin to thin too, necessitating DHT cover.
I have a question. Is there any way we can increase the number of hair in a graft..? Any medicine or anything that we can eat in food to naturally increase the number of hair in the grafts after transplant..?
*Doctor,one question,looking for a reply,i got my hair transplant but my doctor says that minoxidil 5% and finastride 0.01% topical solution should only be started after 1 months of hair transplant,and then for another 6 months,also finastride tablets should be started after 1 month of transplant, what's your say on this because at this moment on 18th day of my hair transplant i am just having just Biotin tablet once a day,minoxidil 2% as you said after crust falls of,can i start that too??*
Sir had transplant almost 5 months ago. The growth isn’t really good. Should i be going for PRP and what medication do you suggest ? A nice video sir. Thank you so much sir.
@@hackedbyannaqitty716 Most patients do not report any benefit. It's not a DHT blocker. It only boosts growth as long as you take it. If not done at a proper center it can spread disease.
In your opinion for someone who needs minoxidil, if they keep using it for 3-4 years will the effects of this wear of in time and do you think that person will start to shed hair? As that what be counter productive.
Imran ji, Minoxidil is not a DHT blocker. It is a stimulant. It is likely that with time the body decreases its response to Minoxidil like most other drugs.
@@hairtransplantinindia what is your opinion on Stemoxydine, is it a good substitute for minoxidil without the effects of hair shedding? I have also heard after 3 months it is no longer effective and that it should be used 3 months on followed by 3 months off, and then repeat this cycle, any truth to this and this products abilities in hair regrowth? Thanks in Advance.
Some shedding does take place for transplanted hairs too, but is a fraction of what happens to the native hair if they were thinning before Minoxidil was started.
After the crusts fall off, to be safe (since skin is tender), start with 2% Minoxidil. After 2 weeks switch to 5% Minoxidil. If at any stage you have excessive reddisness, oozing of fluid or swelling, contact your doctor. Typically Minoxidil is needed for 6 months post hair transplant.
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you doctor. It's amazing how you always reply immediately. Fantastic. I love your channel and your videos. One more question, how would you apply the minoxidil.. rub it on recipient area?
I have 1 question. As u said patients after hair transplant need for 5-6 month to take minoxidil+finasteride. But what they have to do after 6 month? Declined taking this medicine will take regrowed haur back. How can they remain this results?
The daily hormonal surge occurs after midnight. To cover this peak in body testosterone levels, Finasteride should be taken before sleeping around 9 PM.
Thanks a lot DOCTOR just for your help I've been applying hair öz spray twice a day for 9 months after a HT which is kind of hair growth stimulator + multi vitamin, can I stop using it please? Can I just go on with my life without taking anything? Thank you SIR...

hello dr sir i i did my hair transplant for 5months ago i just used 2months minoxidil i did took any medicen becouse my donor area is better so may i take medicen now my ransplantion has been since 5months ago

Does previous hair transplanted follicles remains and grow if 2nd transplant is done on same area for density
Yes if meticulous technique is used so damage to existing follicles are avoided. This is done all the time.
Hi sir hope you doing good
One question: is it necessary to take finastrade and minoxidil after ht . If i didn’t use at all will it affect the quality of transplanted hair like thickness, growth, longevity etc.
Ps - i have doing front area correction only and the grafts are 2000. I have read so many people saying including doc that once you start minoxdl it can’t be stopped and finastrde causing so many side effects regarding reproduction. Pls do rply
Thanks in advance.
There is no one answer for everyone. Please ask your treating doctor since he knows more about your tests and your hair loss pattern.
what is your take on oral minoxidil? the recent studies of dr sergio vano( in spain)
People are responding to it. But it not being a DHT blocker, baldness progression will contiue. Not an alternative to Finasteride.
Hi Doctor. Had hair transplant 5 months and now a lot of white pimples on the transplant area. Is this normal? What is the treatment for this condition? Thanks!!!
After 5 months these should not appear. This may be unrelated infection. What does your hair transplant doctor say?
@@hairtransplantinindia . Hair transplant Doctor says it is infection and subscribe ANTIBIOTIC Cream and Tablets.
@@texnaidoo6848 Pleaes follow up with him since he knows best what organism is prevalent in his set up and will advise you accordingly.
Hello Doctor, Could the application of 1 ml of minoxidil+finasteride topical solution twice a day cause gynecomastia ?
No. Because topical Finasteride does not cross the skin barrier much.
Sir does prp help after HT to increase thickness of planted hair.
There is no scientific evidence to prove that it does.
Hi sir i have done HT 1 year back and used topical minoxidil oral finasteride for 8 months, now im planning to stop oral finesteride, and srart
(Minoxidil and topical finesteride solution) so pls tell me your opinion
Topical Finasteride does not work as much we think it will. Just not an alternative to the oral form.
Can you apply aloe vera to the recipient area for recovery, then apply minoxidil for growth?
Minoxidil is started after crusts have fallen off at 2 weeks after hair transplant.
We recommend 2% Minoxidil for 2 weeks since I wish to be sure there will be no skin reaction to it since skin is sensitive immediately after surgery. If there is no reaction , I ask the patient to switch to 5% Minoxidil which is continued once a day till 6 months are over after the hair transplant.
It is however the patient's choice if he wants to continue to use it thereafter.
How soon after the transplant can we start taking vitamins?
The next day itself.
Can I use topical minoxidil along with oral minoxidil simultaneously?
You shouldnot.
Doctor can we use hair fibers on transplanted area post 5 months op on some days
Yes you can even after 6 weeks of the procedure.
Hello Doctor . Recently i saw your excellent and well educated video on youtube regarding minoxidil and its safe usage. I have taken lotinen 10mg half a pill each day for 5 months and approximately a month ago I had a hair transplant FUE procedure . Due to the procedure my doctor told me to stop the usage of loniten as it is no good for the hair transplant . So my whole scalp turn into sparse and thin . I mean i can see through my eyes the scalp clearly at some spots . What do you think i should do?
If a drug recommended by a doctor has worked for you that is your lifeline. And how about Finasteride?
@@hairtransplantinindia So you think i should ask my doctor to prescribe me again loniten and also maybe finasteride and biotin ? Isn't that a fault of his not to prescribe them already?
@@thnssl It's not his fault. He may have thought differently since he knows your condition better. Best discuss with him with an open mind.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you very much for your advise doctor . One last question , if I may , what is your opinion about dutasteride instead of finasteride in my case ?
@@thnssl Why block 95% DHT when Finasteride will do.
Doctor, What can be done if I do not want to use Finasteride at all after the Hair Transplant? Is there an alternative?
There is no alternative. However many have got a good result without it. But it's like taking a chance.
Finasteride is not at all as bad as you think it is.
Thanks for sharing. Do you think it's too late to start minoxidil 2.5 months post FUE?
Minoxidil alone will not benefit much. But the growth phase is still on and your starting Minoxidil will do benefit.
@@hairtransplantinindia thanks for the swift response
Is finasteride necessary for transpalnted hair to maintain it for life time
Not if they have been take from permanent zone, and the latter continues to maintain it's integrity for life.
Doctor would you recommend minoxidil solution after 1 month or best to get tablets ?
After crusts come off at 2 weeks.
@@hairtransplantinindia after 2 weeks okay.thanks you doctor but solution liquid minoxidil or tablets minoxidil?
@@sajsultan1839 That will depend upon doctor's assessment.
I just had my second hair transplant today , so just use rogain and finasterde fir tablets that's it ?
Add Tab Biotin too : th-cam.com/video/J7DMv_iUnSU/w-d-xo.html
Sir do i have to apply minoxidil on the receipted area only or the other hair as well after the hair transplant?
When you have thinning, there is no extra effort involved if you apply it all over the thinning top of the head.
Hi I’m washing my tomorrow but today some of my graphs was loose haven’t washed my hair is that normal ?
What does your doctor say?
I had a hair transplant can I use the Tripple action trioxodil solution ?
If your doctor advises so. My patients only apply 5% Minoxidil at night for 6 months besides DHT blocker taken orally.
Sir finasteride tablet forms ke side effects hain
So topically use karenge to jyada better rahega
Iska koi asar nahin hai
waithing for your advice sir thanks
Very informative video.
Please let me know that in grade 4/5 , should minoxidil be continued life long after HT. ?
It depends upon whether your baldness has stabilised or is still progressive; and your objectives.
Hello Doctor,
I had hair transplant at front sides and crown 3 months ago. I have lost lot of non transplanted / native hairs . When will they grow back. What needs to be done?
Did your doctor not start Oral Finasteride?
@@hairtransplantinindiayes.. oral finasteride and Minoxidil
@@Manoj-gr7kn Thinning hairs take double the time to grow so be patient.
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you doctor 🙏
That's really helpful video for me sir.. I did transplantation 2days before my donor area was good and the extracted grafts are taken from beard and back area of head.. Sir I have doubt weather my result will come good because doctor told me that they have transplanted 6700grafts..
Let's hope for the best. It is too early to predict the result. All you can do is not to skip Finasteride.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanx sir for your reply.. Sure sir biotin and finastride I will take.
Sir does transpalnted hair also need finasteride to maintain for life long or with out finasteride also it can last lifelong??
This questions cannot be answered since the answer will differ from person to person. The scalp donor deteriorates with age in some people. In these people the transplanted hairs with age will begin to thin too, necessitating DHT cover.
I have a question. Is there any way we can increase the number of hair in a graft..? Any medicine or anything that we can eat in food to naturally increase the number of hair in the grafts after transplant..?
Sorry no medicine will make new hair appear.
*Doctor,one question,looking for a reply,i got my hair transplant but my doctor says that minoxidil 5% and finastride 0.01% topical solution should only be started after 1 months of hair transplant,and then for another 6 months,also finastride tablets should be started after 1 month of transplant, what's your say on this because at this moment on 18th day of my hair transplant i am just having just Biotin tablet once a day,minoxidil 2% as you said after crust falls of,can i start that too??*
Please follow your chosen doctor's advice. Interfering in treatment is unethical in our profession.
What times of the day should you take either fin or dut? Morning noon or evening ?
Just before you sleep since the male hormone surge in the body happens around 7 am. So that is the peak which needs to be
covered.
@@hairtransplantinindia 3pm or 3am
@@VikashKumar-tk3de Sorry for the error. It has been corrected.
Sir had transplant almost 5 months ago. The growth isn’t really good. Should i be going for PRP and what medication do you suggest ?
A nice video sir.
Thank you so much sir.
Are you on Finasteride?
@@hairtransplantinindia yea sir
I take finax regularly in the evening.
PRP is useless. 5 months can be early for results
Thank you so much sir.
Sir apologies for bothering you again.
Sir just wanted to ask you if i can use things like derma match to hide the unusual growth at the moment?
When can you start Propecia and minoxidil after hair transplant?
Propecia after antibiotics are over on 5th day and Minoxidil after the crusts have fallen off by 2 weeks.
Can you please tell that is there any side effects of taking prp taking at 18 .
Can it increase hair fall?
It is not helpful but is safe to take at 18
@@hairtransplantinindia why it is not helpful?
@@hackedbyannaqitty716 Most patients do not report any benefit. It's not a DHT blocker. It only boosts growth as long as you take it. If not done at a proper center it can spread disease.
@@hairtransplantinindia but can it help in receeding hairline?
@@hackedbyannaqitty716 Try and see. I told you it has no benefits
In your opinion for someone who needs minoxidil, if they keep using it for 3-4 years will the effects of this wear of in time and do you think that person will start to shed hair? As that what be counter productive.
Imran ji, Minoxidil is not a DHT blocker. It is a stimulant. It is likely that with time the body decreases its response to Minoxidil like most other drugs.
@@hairtransplantinindia okay so would you say it would be more beneficial to take finasteride alone. Not everyone needs minoxidil
@@TheCinderellaman10 Minoxidil is not a DHT Blocker. It is an adjunct to Finasteride, not an alternative, Sir.
@@hairtransplantinindia what is your opinion on Stemoxydine, is it a good substitute for minoxidil without the effects of hair shedding? I have also heard after 3 months it is no longer effective and that it should be used 3 months on followed by 3 months off, and then repeat this cycle, any truth to this and this products abilities in hair regrowth? Thanks in Advance.
Hi there, is there a risk of shedding transplanted hairs if I stop using minoxidil after 5 months?
Some shedding does take place for transplanted hairs too, but is a fraction of what happens to the native hair if they were thinning before Minoxidil was started.
Minoxidil once started cannot be stopped some doctors say but minoxidil causes dry scalp
In such cases oral Minoxidil will help. Ask your doctor for a reevaluation.
How long after a hair transplant can you apply minoxidil? and how would you apply it ?
After the crusts fall off, to be safe (since skin is tender), start with 2% Minoxidil. After 2 weeks switch to 5% Minoxidil. If at any stage you have excessive reddisness, oozing of fluid or swelling, contact your doctor. Typically Minoxidil is needed for 6 months post hair transplant.
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you doctor. It's amazing how you always reply immediately. Fantastic. I love your channel and your videos. One more question, how would you apply the minoxidil.. rub it on recipient area?
How soon after hair transplant can you use minoxidil 5%?
Thanks Doctor 😊
After crusts come off, use 2%M for 2 weeks and if it does not irritate, switch to 5%M
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks! And it’s ok to use it all over the scalp?
I’m exactly 1 month after HT
Not the donor area.
I have 1 question. As u said patients after hair transplant need for 5-6 month to take minoxidil+finasteride. But what they have to do after 6 month? Declined taking this medicine will take regrowed haur back. How can they remain this results?
If the androgeentic alopecia geen is still active and thinning continues, it is best to be on low dose maintenance.
When is best time to take finastride? Morning or evening and why
The daily hormonal surge occurs after midnight. To cover this peak in body testosterone levels, Finasteride should be taken before sleeping around 9 PM.
Thanks a lot DOCTOR just for your help
I've been applying hair öz spray twice a day for 9 months after a HT which is kind of hair growth stimulator + multi vitamin, can I stop using it please?
Can I just go on with my life without taking anything?
Thank you SIR...
Thanks for watching my video. This is not a DHT blocker and will not help. Watch my video that I just uploaded on Finasteride.

Please ask your doctor.
Do you think minoxidil or olive oil is better on the hair after a transplant and why?
Olive oil is not for hair loss so I am not comparing the two.
Thanks for watching.
Please use olive oil only to make an omelette and nothing more than that......😁.. imean seriously
Sir is it necessary to take 2 % minoxidil for two weeks can i Directly use 5 % after HT ?
Not advisable. You might have a severe skin reaction to 5%.
Can I ask to be put on a pain med like oxycodone during the surgery? I have surgery coming up and I already take anti anxiety meds and am very nervous to be sitting for hours for 2-3 days straight I really want to be as out of it as possible during the surgery.... am I aloud to ask for that?
You can discuss this with your doctor beforehand. Though this is seldom required.
I had two hair transplant. But am not completely satisfied. My last transplant was just under 2 years , will finesteride work now

Can transplanted hair be dependent on Minoxidil and fall off after we stop applying Minoxidil?
And is Procapil serum any effective?
Yes if they were not taken from the permanent zone.
