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.

Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Did you know that hair growth isn’t constant—it actually happens in cycles 🔁 The three main phases are Anagen (growth), Catagen (transition), and Telogen (resting). Understanding these phases is crucial for hair restoration surgery, as transplanted hair follicles need to be in the anagen phase for optimal survival and growth. After transplantation, the initial shedding (shock loss) is followed by the follicles transitioning into the anagen phase, with new hair appearing within a few months and continuing to grow and mature over the next year.
