Hi all I have been on regain for about 3 years now and did notice some difference in the first year but not much after that. I have recently returned from new york after having 2600 grafts via strip with Dr Feller and feel I will no longer need to use regain. Although i have heard it will help speed up the growth process do you think it will have any downsides if i stop using it after a couple of months on my transplanted hair.

Thanks in advance.

Well I certainly wouldn't stop it now right after having a procedure. It will speed up your results. Personally I would stick with it at this point for another 3-4 months and then reconsider stopping it.

I agree with Doc Patient. It is better to use it for first 6 to 7 months after the procedure to speed up the results. After that you are free to give it up. It will affect only your native hair not the transplanted hair.

If you stop, you might try to ween yourself off of it gradually. For exampe, go to once a day, for a few weeks, then once every other day, then twice a week, etc.

thanks for the advice guys it has really helped..

I would stick with it matey - it will defo help speed the growth up!!!

I've heard from Dr. True that Minoxodil does NOT speed up growth...that this is a false rumor. However, in order to keep any hair you've regained from Minoxodil, you must keep using it. I just posted somewhere else that I used it for years and now I don't use it anymore. I had very little benefit using it, so I stopped it altogether...I lossed the little I gained, but now I don't have itchy or greasy scalp . But if it's working for you, best to stay with it...that's my thought.

Is that true that Minoxidile will not speed up the growth

Falceros statement sounds valid? If minioxidil has been show to have zero effectin the frontal area, why would it speed up growth? Maybe in the crown I would give it some merit

There are many items out there "sold" for post op HT recovery and from what I researched many items just don't speed up growth or recovery.

They do speed up the disappearance of yuour money
