What is androgenetic alopecia?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hereditary hair loss, affecting both men and women 🧬 It occurs when hair follicles become increasingly sensitive to androgens, causing them to gradually shrink and produce finer, shorter hairs. In men, this often appears as a receding hairline or thinning at the crown, while women commonly experience diffuse thinning across the scalp. Because the process is progressive, recognising the early signs matters. Early assessment and treatment can help protect existing follicles before more advanced hair loss occurs 🩺 If you are noticing changes in your hair density, book a consultation to understand the cause and explore your treatment options on our website here.

How many PRP sessions do you actually need?

Originally made famous for its strong results in facial rejuvenation, PRP therapy can be equally effective for hair growth 🌱 During this treatment, a doctor will draw roughly 100mls of blood, right here in our clinic. Your blood is then processed or spun to separate your platelet-rich plasma, which is carefully injected into the scalp. At MedHair, we combine PRP therapy with microneedling to stimulate and revive your hair follicles. We recommend three sessions for best results, and ask patients to bring along a cap on treatment day. Learn more about our packages via our website here

Does wearing a cap cause hair loss?

Does wearing a cap cause hair loss? 🧢 This is actually a myth. While tight headwear can cause tension on the hair or follicle stress, it is unlikely to be the reason your hair is thinning. If you are experiencing hair loss and wish to book a consultation with us our website here

Real progress, six months in the making. This patient began his medically guided treatment with Minoxidil 5mg and Dutasteride 0.5mg in January of this year. Six months later, the difference speaks for itself. Visibly fuller, denser hair achieved entirely through non-surgical, doctor-prescribed therapy 🩺 At MedHair, we always start with the most appropriate treatment for your individual case, which is often medication before surgery is considered. Book a consultation to speak to a qualified hair restoration doctor.

When will I see results?

/0 Comments/in , /by

When will I see results? It is one of the most common questions we hear from transplant patients, and the honest answer is that hair restoration takes time. Transplanted hair typically sheds initially before regrowing over the following months, with final results visible closer to the twelve month mark 🕐 This shedding is a normal part of the healing process, not a sign that anything has gone wrong. Every journey is guided by a doctor who can set realistic expectations for your specific case. We recommend booking a consultation to better understand your own unique timeline.

Why is medication still needed after surgery?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Surgery restores hair in balding areas, but it does not protect the hair you already have. Transplanted follicles keep their natural resistance to DHT, the hormone behind pattern hair loss, but your existing hair does not share that protection. Medication such as finasteride helps stabilise native hair against ongoing thinning, while minoxidil supports circulation and can speed up regrowth after the procedure. Together, they safeguard your results long after surgery is complete. At MedHair, medication is part of a considered plan, not an afterthought, protecting your investment for years to come 🩺

Why Donor Area Health Matters

/0 Comments/in /by

When considering a hair transplant, the health of your donor area is an important factor 🩺 The ‘donor area’ refers to the region where healthy hair follicles are extracted for transplantation during FUT or FUE procedures. Strong donor density and scalp stability help ensure grafts can be harvested safely without compromising future hair coverage. At MedHair, every patient undergoes a detailed medical assessment before surgery is considered. This allows our doctors to evaluate donor supply, hair characteristics, and long-term hair loss patterns before recommending the most appropriate treatment plan. If you’d like an assessment of your current follicle health, please send us a DM or make contact via our website here

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.
