Why would you have to take medications after a hair transplant?
Im acting a bit dumb in the title. I know that you should stay on medication after a hair transplant because otherwise the remaining hair might thin and fall out leaving you with patches of hair. But I also often hear that the transplanted hair will also fall out. Now this does make a little less sense to me when you follow the common opinion that the hair on the back of your head is more resistant to DHT. If that’s the case, shouldn’t they last forever like they do with most people (even with aggressive hair loss there remains the beloved „horseshoe“). This would only make sense to me if there was indeed another difference between the back and top scalp. Not to indulge in bro science but it seems to me that DHT sensibility isn’t the only thing here. Am I missing something?
Although the hair inside the Horseshoe area is generally thought to be lifetime hair, that may not be correct as people age. This lifetime hair often reduces in numbers with age and hair thickness (Age Related Thinning). Now, from a practical point of view, the problem is not the hair transplants in a 10-20 year horizon for a young man having a hair transplant; the problem is with the residual hair as hair loss is progressive, so medications treat your remaining hair that may be impacted by the progressive nature of hair loss.
