    Default Just how long does transplanted hair last?

    Thinking about going the transplant route, but worried that the hair will die off in only 2-4 years?........Anyone with a +5 year old transplant like to conment?

    Transplanted hair will likely never fall out. The hair transplanted is DHT resistant; it is taken from your donor area, on the back of your head. Hair from this area is not susceptible to mpb.

    The worry is that more hair around the 'safe' transplanted hair will fall out, unless you're on a DHT inhibitor like Propecia.

    I read somewhere that transplanted hair will 'thin' in the same pattern as it would on the back of your head....

    Also, why not wait for a bit and think about Dr. Wesley's Pilofocus.....He say's its non-invasive.

    Transplanted hair does not fall out due DHT or MPB

    You don't need to be concerned about the transplanted hair.

    You need to be concerned about holding onto the hair that is naturally on the top of the head that will thin out unless you forever take fin and/or minox.
