Hey everyone, I’ve got a hair transplant scheduled for the end of June (about 6 weeks from now). I still have some really thin, short hairs in my temple area, and I just started taking Hims Finasteride + Minoxidil pills about a week ago — so too early to see anything yet.
From what I’ve read, those small hairs might mean the follicles are still alive and could come back with treatment. So now I’m wondering: should I wait and see if the meds help, or just go ahead with the transplant as planned? I feel like I might have rushed into getting a transplant too soon.
Would really appreciate any thoughts from folks who’ve been through something similar. Thanks!
About me: I’m a 35-year-old guy, very active — I’ve been working out hard up to five times a week for the past few years. No hair loss in my parents or known grandparents. One of my mom’s parents wasn’t around, so I don’t have info from that side.
