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.

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.

Finasteride: Small Tablet, Big Impact

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The small tablet with a big impact 💊 Finasteride (1 mg daily) is a clinically proven treatment for male pattern hair loss, demonstrating a 24.3% increase in hair count over 24 months compared to placebo. By inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, it reduces dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels — an androgen responsible for hair follicle miniaturisation. This mechanism has been shown to improve hair density and slow hair loss progression. Script required 📝 Book a consultation with one of our doctors today.
