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.

Improving growth around scar tissue

/0 Comments/in , /by

Scar Removal Surgery at MedHair is designed to reduce the visibility of significant scalp scars and improve the surrounding hair growth. Depending on your needs, our specialists may remove old scar tissue and use trichophytic closure to encourage hair to grow through the incision, or transplant healthy follicles directly into the scarred area for natural coverage. This approach restores density, creates a uniform appearance and helps achieve a more natural-looking scalp. To learn more about scar removal or to explore a personalised treatment plan, book a consultation on our website.
