A hair transplant can restore the hair you’ve already lost—but it won’t prevent ongoing hair loss in untreated areas. That’s why protecting your native (non-transplanted) hair is just as important as caring for your newly implanted follicles.
To achieve the best long-term aesthetic results, it’s essential to use clinically proven hair loss treatments after your transplant. Treatments like Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Biotin can strengthen your hair, encourage growth, and reduce further shedding.
Why You Still Need Treatment After a Transplant
While transplanted hairs are generally resistant to DHT—the hormone responsible for male pattern hair loss—your native hair remains vulnerable. Without ongoing treatment, you risk continued thinning in untreated areas, which can impact the overall density and appearance of your transplant.
This is where proven therapies come into play.
The Finasteride and Minoxidil Approach
The most effective way to protect and preserve both native and transplanted hair is by combining two cornerstone treatments:
- Finasteride: blocks the production of DHT, preventing follicle miniaturisation.
- Minoxidil: improves blood flow to the scalp, stimulating follicles and supporting regrowth.
Together, these treatments provide the strongest foundation for long-term hair health.
Oral Finasteride Tablets
For many men, oral Finasteride is the simplest and most effective option. Approved by the FDA, it works systemically to suppress DHT, helping to prevent further hair loss and support the longevity of your transplant.
Taken once daily, oral Finasteride is a convenient and widely used treatment for post-transplant care, helping to stabilise existing hair.
The Combination Spray Option
If oral Finasteride isn’t suitable for you, Sons offers a topical Combination Spray that blends Finasteride and Minoxidil into a single solution. Applied directly to the scalp, this spray targets affected areas while minimising systemic absorption.
This dual-action formula blocks DHT at the follicular level while stimulating regrowth, offering a comprehensive approach to transplant aftercare.
Don’t Overlook Biotin
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, plays a vital role in strengthening keratin—the protein that forms the structure of your hair. While it doesn’t block DHT, Biotin supports hair thickness and quality, making it particularly beneficial during the post-transplant regrowth phase.
When combined with Minoxidil, Biotin can help your transplanted hairs "bed in" more effectively, promoting faster growth and improving overall scalp health.
Taking Biotin consistently is a safe and supportive addition to your hair care routine, especially if you want to enhance the visual impact of your transplant.
