How soon after your hair transplant can you use Minoxidil? Is there a higher risk of shedding or scalp inflammation if you use it too soon?

Usually 2 weeks is enough to resume using it. If you’ve never used it before be watchful for any sides such as inflammation of the scalp or headaches. Consult with your doctor on what advice they suggest.
Minoxidil can and usually does cause shedding, which then speeds up the growth cycle as the next set of growth will come sooner.

Thank you for your advice. I was told 2-3 weeks but thought I’d check with others how long they waited.
