3 rules of minoxidil

/0 Comments/in /by

Thinking about trying Minoxidil, or already using it? 

These three rules can make all the difference to your results 🩺

1️⃣ Don’t stop too soon. Hair restoration takes time, and it can take several months before noticeable improvements occur.

2️⃣ Be consistent. Missing doses or using Minoxidil irregularly may reduce its effectiveness, so daily use as prescribed is important.

3️⃣ Know the cause of your hair loss. Minoxidil supports hair growth, but it is most effective when used as part of a personalised treatment plan based on an accurate diagnosis.

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.
