A member asked:
Is it true that hair transplant is only good for 5 years cause that is the normal life span of hair follicles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair Transplants: Transplanted hair is permanent, so if the transplanted follicles are harvested from the appropriate "Donor Area" of the scalp, they will live and grow forever in their new location. However, you MUST start non-invasive medical treatments to protect your NON-transplanted hair from male pattern hair loss. Effective treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, laser therapy, PRP, etc. can be prescribed.
