Do you have to use Rogaine or similar treatment for life after transplant or does the transplant sufficiently work itself for full hairline? Thank you Dr!

Do you have to use Rogaine? No.

Do some people choose to use it? Yes.

I'd say that using Rogaine after surgery is not completely necessary as the transplanted hairs will remain in their new home on a permanent basis. There are some patients who want to keep using it on the rest of their scalp to slow the balding process and maintain their native hairs.
