💊 Why medication is so important before a Hair Transplant 💊

Finasteride or Dutasteride

Finasteride blocks the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme changes testosterone to another hormone that causes the prostate to grow or hair loss in males. It will increase testosterone levels in the body, which decreases prostate size and increases hair growth on the scalp. Without medication before a procedure you will continue to lose more hair making a hair transplant unsuccessful. 🙁
