Is It Safe to Use Minoxidil After a Hair Transplant?

[Castillo]

I just had my hair transplant about 3 weeks ago, and I’ve heard mixed things about using Minoxidil after the procedure. Some people say it helps speed up regrowth, while others say it can irritate the scalp and even cause shock loss.

For those who used Minoxidil post-HT, did it help or hurt your results? And when is the best time to start using it again?

Most surgeons recommend waiting at least a month, sometimes longer if your scalp is still healing. If you apply it too soon, it can irritate the grafts and slow down recovery.
