Why is medication still needed after surgery?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Surgery restores hair in balding areas, but it does not protect the hair you already have. Transplanted follicles keep their natural resistance to DHT, the hormone behind pattern hair loss, but your existing hair does not share that protection. Medication such as finasteride helps stabilise native hair against ongoing thinning, while minoxidil supports circulation and can speed up regrowth after the procedure. Together, they safeguard your results long after surgery is complete. At MedHair, medication is part of a considered plan, not an afterthought, protecting your investment for years to come 🩺

POV: 6 months post op with natural brows for days!
When Dr Ryan is conducting an Eyebrow Hair Transplant, every graft is carefully positioned to replicate the natural direction and flow of the existing brow hairs. Even the smallest placement detail can influence overall symmetry, which is why this procedure requires both knowledge and experience.

Why Donor Area Health Matters

/0 Comments/in /by

When considering a hair transplant, the health of your donor area is an important factor 🩺 The ‘donor area’ refers to the region where healthy hair follicles are extracted for transplantation during FUT or FUE procedures. Strong donor density and scalp stability help ensure grafts can be harvested safely without compromising future hair coverage. At MedHair, every patient undergoes a detailed medical assessment before surgery is considered. This allows our doctors to evaluate donor supply, hair characteristics, and long-term hair loss patterns before recommending the most appropriate treatment plan. If you’d like an assessment of your current follicle health, please send us a DM or make contact via our website here

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.
