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.

Let’s talk Traction Alopecia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Traction alopecia is a form of hair loss caused by ongoing tension on the hair follicles, often linked to tight hairstyles such as braids, weaves or ponytails. Over time, this strain can lead to thinning or permanent loss;  most commonly along the hairline or temples. At MedHair, treatment is tailored to your individual case and may be non-surgical or surgical. In more advanced stages, healthy donor follicles can be precisely transplanted to restore natural density and refine the hairline. Every case is carefully assessed to ensure the most appropriate, medically guided approach 💇🏾‍♀️ To book a consultation or learn more, visit our website here.

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.
