12 Months Post-FUE, Concerned About Stopping Minoxidil - Will Hair Shed?

I’ve been on minoxidil for years pre- and post-op, after my FUE at medicalhair in Izmir (solid choice so far, happy with the clinic). Anyone else in the same boat? If I drop minoxidil now, will things crash? Worried about shedding or worse.

Pics/results here if interested:

hey, stopping min could lead to shedding since it helps prolong the growth phase. it’s like a fertilizer for hair. if you stop, you might lose any extra gains from min and just rely on your transplant and native hair. continuing min might help maintain results.

Yes, the clinic’s advice was very similar. I haven’t had any side effects from minoxidil, I was just curious to learn more. Thank you
