Understanding shock loss

Shock loss is a temporary shedding of transplanted or existing hair that can occur after a hair restoration procedure 🌱 It typically appears 2–8 weeks post-surgery, as follicles enter a resting phase in response to surgical stress, even though the roots remain healthy and capable of regrowth. While shock loss cannot be fully prevented, medications such as minoxidil and finasteride may support regrowth and help protect existing hair. In most cases, hair affected by shock loss regrows over time as part of the natural recovery process. Book a consultation to discuss your personalised hair restoration journey.

Why is Afro textured hair FUE surgery a speciality?

FUE for Afro-textured hair is a specialist skill — and one that very few clinics worldwide can offer safely. Afro-textured follicles follow a curved path, increasing the risk of transection, scarring and low graft yield in untrained hands. At MedHair, our surgeons use specialised punches and advanced techniques to extract each graft with precision. This is why we are among the few global clinics with proven expertise in Afro-textured FUE. If you are considering a hair transplant and wish to book a virtual or in-person consultation, pop us a DM or get in touch via our website.

Understanding the Hair Health Pathway

Healthy, lasting hair restoration is never a quick fix; it requires a structured, medically guided approach. At MedHair, every patient follows our Hair Health Pathway, a doctor-designed process that prioritises safety, stabilisation and long-term results 👇

1️⃣ Stabilisation phase: addressing active hair loss and strengthening existing follicles.

2️⃣ Early growth: supporting new activity with evidence-based medical therapy.

3️⃣ Consolidation: ensuring progress is maintained before considering next steps.

4️⃣ Surgical readiness: only once the scalp is stable do we assess whether surgery is truly appropriate.

Our approach protects patients from rushed or unnecessary procedures. Unlike clinics that offer instant approval for surgery, we focus on ethical care that puts your long-term hair health first 🔗 medhair.co.za

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.
