minoxidil after a hair transplant

[dustinb]

Hi guys
i want to get on minoxidil after my recent hair transplant
how long do you usually wait to start using it? I think Ill try the 5% foam.
If there is shock loss from the transplant AND minoxidil, would they approx. happen around the same time?
I know I should have started minoxidil years ago, Im 46 now, but I figured it will take a long time
to see results and Ive always wanted to get a transplant to fill in the temples and crown anyway, so hopefully Ill be able to see good results after a year.
Im on 1.25% Finasteride so Ill be sticking with that also.
Thanks!
