Basically Minoxidil is a treatment for hair loss problem but
it is not a permanent cure after hair transplantation. Remember, these medicines are not needed to maintain
transplanted hair. They are used only to maintain the natural hair. If daily application
of topical minoxidil is stopped, all developed hair in response of drug will be
quickly lost within 3 to 6 months.
But if a patient wants to
stop Minoxidil medicine after hair transplant surgery then he can but he has an increased chance to lose
some of his original hair. It is always most excellent step to talk about
aftercare recommendations with the surgeon that performed your hair transplant procedure
but generally speaking we suggest that you should continue to take the hair
growth supplements like minoxidil to prevent future hair loss. The newly
transplanted hair is permanent and long lasting but different medications like
minoxidil can assist keep your natural hair healthy. For permanent outcomes, doctor
always recommend Minoxidil drug to assist maintain the natural and transplanted
hair.

who had used minoxidil for one year reported moderate to thick re-growth of
hair within the treated area, 36% reported minimum re-growth while 16% reported
