Could you please provide more details about your questions regarding hair transplantation?
I have been taking Rogaine for almost a year now, and my hair is no longer falling out as it used to.
However, it is still quite sparse, so I am considering hair transplantation.
I would like to ask which qualified places in Greater Taipei and Taoyuan offer hair transplant services.
After the hair transplant, will I still need to continue taking Rogaine?

More Info
When considering hair transplant options in Taipei and Taoyuan, it's essential to understand both the procedure itself and the ongoing care that may be required afterward. Hair loss, particularly male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), affects many individuals and can lead to significant psychological distress. Therefore, seeking effective treatment is crucial.
In Taipei, one of the recommended specialists is Dr. Cai Ren-Yu at Wan Fang Hospital, who is known for performing hair transplants. Additionally, Dr. Zheng Li-Zhen is another reputable dermatologist who can provide consultations and treatment options for hair loss. These specialists are well-versed in the latest techniques and can help determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
In Taoyuan, there are also several clinics and hospitals that offer hair transplant services. It's advisable to look for facilities that have certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons specializing in hair restoration. Researching patient reviews and before-and-after photos can also provide insight into the quality of care and results you can expect.
Regarding your question about continuing to take Finasteride (commonly known as "柔沛" in Taiwan) after a hair transplant, it is generally recommended to continue using it. Finasteride works by inhibiting the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a significant factor in hair loss. While hair transplants can provide immediate results by relocating hair follicles to balding areas, ongoing treatment with Finasteride can help maintain the health of existing hair and prevent further loss. Many doctors suggest that combining both treatments can yield the best long-term results.
It's also important to have realistic expectations about the hair transplant process. The results can take several months to become fully visible, as the transplanted hair goes through a shedding phase before new growth begins. Post-operative care is crucial, and following your surgeon's instructions regarding hair care, medications, and follow-up appointments will significantly influence the success of the procedure.
In addition to medical treatments, consider lifestyle factors that can impact hair health. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those known to support hair growth (like biotin, zinc, and vitamins A and D), can be beneficial. Managing stress through techniques such as mindfulness or exercise may also help, as stress can exacerbate hair loss.
If you're experiencing significant hair loss and are considering a hair transplant, it's advisable to schedule consultations with multiple clinics to discuss your options, understand the procedures, and evaluate the qualifications of the medical staff. This will help you make an informed decision that aligns with your needs and expectations.
In summary, Taipei and Taoyuan offer several reputable clinics for hair transplants, and continuing Finasteride post-surgery is typically recommended to maintain hair density. Always consult with qualified dermatologists or hair restoration specialists to tailor a treatment plan that is right for you.
