The foundation of growth

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Understanding the ‘why’ behind hair loss is a critical first step toward effective treatment. Factors like genetics, hormones, and health all play a role. At MedHair, we begin with a thorough diagnostic process, which may include a Trichoscopy – a detailed scalp and follicle analysis. This allows us to see what the naked eye cannot and create a recovery plan that is scientifically grounded, not just a guess. True growth starts with an accurate diagnosis. Schedule a consultation to start your scientifically grounded hair restoration journey.

Before and After PRP combo

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your body’s own healing mechanism to stimulate hair growth. It’s a minimally invasive, natural treatment designed to encourage dormant or weakened hair follicles to regrow thicker, healthier hair. We combine this game-changing treatment with Microneedling and PDO threading to bring you the gold standard in non-surgical hair restoration. Book your slot via DM or our website.

How age affects hair density

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Did you know the natural ageing process can cause hair follicles to miniaturise? This results in finer strands and reduced density. While hormones and nutrition still play a role, this type of thinning is not irreversible. The good news? Our range of treatments — from restorative PRP Combo therapy to advanced FUE and FUT transplants — is designed to combat the age decline, helping you regain both volume and confidence ✨ A personalised consultation with our doctors will determine the ideal strategy for your hair and life stage.

The investment that grows

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , /by

A Hair Transplant with MedHair is a lasting investment in both your hair restoration and confidence. The popular FUE method involves meticulously relocating individual follicular units to create a natural, permanent hairline. It will take time – usually up to a year for the hair follicles to grow and thicken. Each graft will follow its own growth cycle, and some will grow faster than others. With patience and care, your result will be worth the wait. MedHair is one of the few clinics in South Africa able to offer the FUE and FUT Hair Transplant methods, in addition to non-surgical restoration techniques like PRP and SMP. Our doctors will consult and suggest the best-fitting treatment or combination of treatments for your case. Book a virtual or in-person consultation today.

Do hair meds affect libido?

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

It’s a common and important question. Do hair meds affect libido? A long-term study of finasteride has shown that drug-related sexual side effects occurred in less than 2% of men. Another notable medication, minoxidil, does not affect hormone levels and is even less likely to cause sexual side effects. Have more questions? Visit our website or pop us a DM to book a virtual or in-person consultation with a doctor.

Grafts vs Hairs

Did you know we cost our FUE Hair Transplant procedure based on graft count, not hair count? That is a cost-benefit to our patients, as a graft can contain up to 4 individual hairs.

Scar Therapy

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Scar removal surgery is a cosmetic procedure that corrects any significant, lasting marks resulting from hair transplant treatments. Our specialists have a number of effective methods to reduce the appearance of these skin blemishes, including 👇

  • We can remove old, thick scars and close them with a Trichophytic closure to ensure the scar is almost invisible.
  • We can disguise the site by transplanting hair directly onto the scarred region.
  • We can administer cortisone to flatten thick strips, or dermal fillers to raise depressed lines.
  • We also offer laser treatments to level or smooth any irregular scars.
