Do you still need to take medicine all the time after hair transplant?

This question varies from person to person, and there is no standard answer.

Born with a high hairline, or beard, sideburns, scars, etc. You don't need medication after hair transplantation. Of course, if you want to see the effect as soon as possible, you will also recommend medication. In other words, the effect of hair transplantation can be seen more quickly with drug treatment after hair transplantation.

If androgens lose their hair, which is often called seborrheic alopecia, it is suggested to use drugs or other maintenance products after hair transplantation to maintain the health of the original hair and prevent the occurrence of faults after hair transplantation for several years. The drugs or care products here are not used to care for the planted hair.

① Implanted hair follicles do not need special maintenance.

Pillow hair follicles used for hair transplantation are called "dominant donors" in the process of transplantation, and are not affected by androgen (DHT), so they are never bothered by hair loss. We transplanted these hair follicles into the hair loss area, and after living, the hair follicles were still not affected by DHT and would not lose their hair again.

② Drugs or other maintenance products are aimed at primary hair growth.

Hair transplantation is mainly aimed at the parts where hair follicles have died and can no longer grow hair and become "bald". For the hair that has not fallen off, or the control of the original occurrence, we should still pay attention to maintenance.

In the process of hair transplantation, professional hair doctors will design a reasonable planting method according to the age of the patient and the severity of familial hereditary alopecia, and moderately encrypt the planting in the transition zone between the planting area and the original hair growth and health area, so as not to damage the original hair follicle and prevent hair loss after hair transplantation several years later.

Generally speaking, if the hair loss is stable, you can take the medicine without the doctor's advice. If hair loss is serious, especially hereditary hair loss, you must take medicine after hair transplantation, and you should not take it lightly.

Of course, postoperative medication is not long-term. Generally speaking, taking medicine for 3-6 months can control primary shedding and improve hair softness. As long as the hair improves, you can stop taking the medicine. If serious hair loss occurs again in the future, it will be fine to take medicine again.
