The investment that grows
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?
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?

Scar Therapy
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.

Hairstyles that can cause permanent follicle damage
Hairstyles such as tight braids, ponytails, buns and extensions can cause ongoing tension on hair follicles — leading to traction alopecia. Over time, this can cause permanent follicle damage and irreversible hair loss. Looser styles and breaks between tension-heavy looks help protect scalp health 💇🏾♀️ Book a consultation today to reclaim your hairline with personalised care and precision.

How hormone imbalances can affect hair growth
Hormones play a key role in hair health. Imbalances — often caused by thyroid conditions, pregnancy, menopause or high stress — can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to shedding or thinning. Early diagnosis and treatment can be vital to long-term restoration. If you’re experiencing changes in hair density, book a consultation to explore your options.
