I had a hair transplant done a while ago but now the areas of my scalp that were fine before are starting to thin out. What non-surgical options do I have to address this new hair loss? I'm worried it might keep spreading.
If areas of your scalp that were previously healthy are now thinning after a hair transplant, there are several non-surgical options to address this. These include hair growth medications like minoxidil or finasteride, laser therapy, nutritional supplements, and addressing any underlying scalp conditions. You could also consider a second hair transplant or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.
