Why Minoxidil is favoured for female patients

/0 Comments/in , /by

Did you know Minoxidil acts as a growth stimulant, rather than a hormone modifier? It works by increasing blood flow to the scalp and prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle – helping to support improved density over time. Because it does not alter systemic hormone levels, it is often considered suitable for many women following clinical assessment. Prescription is always based on an individual diagnosis to ensure safe and appropriate management of hair loss 🧬 If you are experiencing hair loss and would like to book a consultation, please visit our website.

FAQ – How much time do I need off work after a transplant?

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

We recommend patients take 3 to 7 days leave following a hair transplant. In the first few days, mild redness, swelling and small scabs may develop in both the donor and recipient areas as part of the normal healing process. Patients with non-physical or remote work may return sooner, while those in customer-facing or physically demanding roles may require more time. At Medhair, your doctor will provide personalised aftercare instructions and prescribed medication to promote proper healing. This ensures a safe return to work without compromising graft survival or recovery outcomes 🌿 If you would like to book a consultation or learn more about our approach, please visit our website.

what causes hair loss

Hair loss can begin for many reasons, and understanding the cause is key to guiding the right care 🌿 Genetics and family history are major factors in pattern hair loss for both men and women. Hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, certain medications and scalp inflammation can also disrupt the normal growth cycle.

What are “healthy grafts” and why are they so important for a successful hair transplant

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a hair transplant, a graft is a small piece of tissue taken from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) that contains hair follicles. A “healthy graft” means that this follicular unit is:

✅Intact — not damaged during extraction

✅Well-hydrated — kept in optimal conditions outside the body

✅Containing viable follicles — capable of producing new hair

✅Minimally traumatised — handled gently throughout the process

Only living, undamaged follicles will grow new hair. If grafts are compromised, they simply won’t produce hair, no matter how well they’re placed. Considering surgical hair restoration? Book a consultation with one of our experienced doctors today.

Why colder months might suit YOU better for a transplant

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Did you know the cooler months can be ideal for a hair transplant?  Lower temperatures reduce sweating, which helps prevent bacterial build-up and keeps the scalp clean during the initial healing phase. Less sun exposure also minimises UV-related irritation, and supports optimal graft survival. Clinically, hair follicles are more sensitive to heat and inflammation in the first 2–3 weeks post-surgery, so milder conditions can improve recovery outcomes. More questions?
