It is not required to use Rogaine (minoxodil) after hair restoration surgery in order for the transplanted hair to grow. Some hair transplant clinics however, believe that using Rogaine might help jump start early hair growth of the transplanted hair sooner than without. Because transplanted hair is permanent, using Rogaine is not only not necessary but starting and then stopping its use will not harm the hair grafts in any way. In other words, the transplanted hair will grow regardless of whether or not Rogaine is used.
