It is recommended with both Minoxidil formulas and

When should I consider surgery to treat hair
loss?

The consideration of when to undergo hair
transplant surgery is a personal decision. Its success is
based on many factors, including the amount of
donor hair available as well as the amount of area
that needs to be covered. An evaluation for hair
transplant surgery with a qualified hair transplant
surgeon is most important in determining when
surgery should be considered. As a rule, hair
transplant surgery is more successful when there is
still existing hair that can be used to camouflage the
surgical area. The goal of a successful session is to
allow the patient to continue to recede in a natural
and expected manner, rather than with unchecked
hair loss. If you have enough hair with which to
cover the thinning area, all the better.
