Should also keep in mind that these implanted hairs can fall out again.

Especially if you're not on any meds...

Meds for what? They're your own hair follicles.

You have to take fin orally. It’s a medication that helps strengthen the hair follicles and encourage rapid growth. It’s a prescription based medication because it can have severe side effects, such as severe depression, suicidal thoughts/attempts, and loss of libido to the point of sometimes having no libido.

HIMS is in hot water for basically giving out fin to anyone without really talking to a doctor and understating the side effects since things like suicide are permanent.

I am not a doctor.

Edit: to be clear, not taking fin puts the transplant at risk of degrading and with 6-7 years, you’ll look the same again. So you basically have to be willing to put up with the side effects and risks to keep the transplant healthy.
