FAQ – How much time do I need off work after a transplant?

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.

FAQ – Is PRP for hair growth painful?

PRP therapy is often perceived as uncomfortable, but in a clinical setting, patient comfort is carefully managed throughout the procedure 🩺 The process begins with a routine blood draw, followed by the preparation of platelet-rich plasma. Before any scalp treatment, a local anaesthetic technique known as a ring block is administered. This numbs the treatment area, ensuring that the PRP injections and microneedling are not felt. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild scalp tenderness may be experienced the following day, particularly after microneedling, but this is typically short-lived and manageable. PRP remains the gold standard in non-surgical hair restoration, with direct bookings possible via our website

Why PRP Combo can prevent further hair loss

MedHair’s PRP Combo is a leading non-surgical option for people experiencing thinning hair and early hair loss 🌿 This medically guided treatment blends Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy with microneedling and PDO threading, encouraging dormant follicles to become more active and improving the overall health of your scalp. PRP uses your own blood, minimising the risk of allergic reactions, while microneedling and PDO threads support deeper stimulation and collagen production. Together, these techniques create an environment that can reduce shedding and improve thickness over time.

Understanding the long-term benefits of medication

The impact of medication alone is often understated in the world of hair restoration. At MedHair, we do not recommend hair transplant surgery unless it is necessary. By supporting scalp health and follicle activity, medication can create a strong, long-term foundation for future surgical treatment. In some cases, the improvement in hair density is so significant that patients choose not to proceed with surgery. Trust your hair journey with the leaders in ethical practice.

Scalp Interventions for hair growth

Scalp interventions play a key role in supporting hair growth and maintaining healthy follicles 🌿 For patients with conditions such as Alopecia Areata or Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, our Inhibitor serum helps reduce the body’s inflammatory response, supporting follicle recovery. When combined with the Red Light Massage Comb, circulation is improved and absorption enhanced. Our Regenerating Shampoo, enriched with caffeine and copper peptides, and Vitamin D supplementation can further support scalp health where deficiencies are present. Together, these interventions create a strong foundation for healthier, thicker hair.
