Does Propecia and Rogaine Work Better Than Hair Transplantation?

Hi, I’m considering a [tag]hair transplant[/tag], though I heard that [tag]Propecia[/tag] and/or [tag]Rogaine[/tag] can work better.   Is this true?

Very rarely are there cut and dry answers when it comes to [tag]hair restoration[/tag].   Therefore, the answer to this question is that it depends.

Propecia  ([tag]Finasteride[/tag]) and/or Rogaine  ([tag]minoxodil[/tag]) have a much higher chance of reversing the [tag]hair miniaturization[/tag] process thus [tag]regrowing hair[/tag]  when a person hasn’t experienced a great amount of [tag]hair loss[/tag]. For the majority of hair loss sufferers considering [tag]hair transplantation[/tag], [tag]hair loss medication[/tag] should be tried first at the very least to maintain existing [tag]natural hair[/tag].   Hair transplantation is typically not a viable option for younger patients who have only just started to experience hair loss.   In fact, any [tag]hair transplant doctor[/tag] that performs [tag]hair transplant surgery[/tag] on a younger patient with minimal hair loss may be exposing the [tag]hair transplant patient[/tag] to expedited hair loss if hair is being transplanted between a lot of natural hair.   See shock loss  for more details.

But for those hair loss sufferers who have greater [tag]balding[/tag] patterns, [tag]Propecia[/tag] and [tag]Rogaine[/tag] combined cannot do what hair transplantation can do.
