DHI Hair Transplant Maintenance and Care

After a hair transplant, the transplanted hair follicles are strong and usually don’t fall out again; however, the surrounding natural hair may continue to thin over time.

Therefore, doctors often recommend simple treatments to protect existing hair and maintain balanced results.

Medications to Help Protect Natural Hair:

• Minoxidil (topical):
  Applied directly to the scalp to promote hair growth and slow thinning.
• Finasteride (oral or topical):
  Helps reduce hair loss hormones when appropriate for the patient.
  Your surgeon will decide when and how to start this.

These medications are only used when appropriate and under medical guidance.

Supportive Treatments That Can Improve Results:

Some patients benefit from additional treatments to strengthen scalp health:

• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections:
  Uses your own blood to support scalp health and increase hair density.
• Low-level laser or light therapies:
  May help stimulate hair follicles in selected cases.
• Nutritional supplements:
  Recommended only if tests show deficiencies such as vitamin D deficiency.

Remember, there is no single solution. Your doctor will create a personalized plan based on your age, pattern of hair loss, and medical history. This approach helps protect your natural hair, support transplanted hair follicles, and maintain natural-looking results in the long term.
