Improve Your NeoGraft® Results with Minoxidil
Traditional hair transplants often come with long downtime and visible scarring – making NeoGraft® a game-changer for hair restoration.
But did you know there’s a simple way to improve your results?
We asked Kelli Hickle, MD, a plastic surgeon at Plastic + Hand Surgical Associates in Portland, Maine, to explain how minoxidil and NeoGraft® can help your hair regrowth journey.
What is minoxidil?
Minoxidil is a well-known medication that treats hair loss in both men and women.
“It works by stimulating the hair follicles and increasing blood flow to the scalp,” says Dr. Hickle. “This can help slow hair loss and even promote new growth.”
Minoxidil is available over the counter in different strengths. It’s usually applied directly to the scalp, but an oral version is also available for some patients.
Why minoxidil matters for hair restoration.
NeoGraft® is an investment – and you want to protect that investment for the long haul.
“It’s important to preserve the hair you still have for the best results,” Dr. Hickle explains. “That’s where minoxidil comes in.”
You can choose from two options:
- Minoxidil foam.
- Oral minoxidil.
Consistency is key. “Make sure to use the medication as directed,” Dr. Hickle adds. “If hair restoration and regrowth is your goal, this is your friendly reminder to apply your minoxidil foam today!”
