Is being on medication the same as being stabilized before a hair transplant?
I’ve been thinking about this more lately.
A lot of people say you should be on medication before considering a transplant. But in reality, that can mean different things depending on the person.
You can be on treatment for a year or two and still see slow progression. It’s not always clear when things are actually stable versus just slowed down.
From what I’ve seen, that difference seems to matter more over time. Some early results look good, but a few years later the surrounding hair changes and the overall picture shifts.
So I’m curious how others here think about it.
Do you see a real difference between being on treatment and being truly stabilized before surgery?
