Hair loss can begin for many reasons, and understanding the cause is key to guiding the right care 🌿 Genetics and family history are major factors in pattern hair loss for both men and women. Hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, certain medications and scalp inflammation can also disrupt the normal growth cycle.

PRP therapy is often perceived as uncomfortable, but in a clinical setting, patient comfort is carefully managed throughout the procedure 🩺 The process begins with a routine blood draw, followed by the preparation of platelet-rich plasma. Before any scalp treatment, a local anaesthetic technique known as a ring block is administered. This numbs the treatment area, ensuring that the PRP injections and microneedling are not felt. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild scalp tenderness may be experienced the following day, particularly after microneedling, but this is typically short-lived and manageable. PRP remains the gold standard in non-surgical hair restoration, with direct bookings possible via our website.

In a hair transplant, a graft is a small piece of tissue taken from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) that contains hair follicles. A “healthy graft” means that this follicular unit is:
✅Intact — not damaged during extraction
✅Well-hydrated — kept in optimal conditions outside the body
✅Containing viable follicles — capable of producing new hair
✅Minimally traumatised — handled gently throughout the process
Only living, undamaged follicles will grow new hair. If grafts are compromised, they simply won’t produce hair, no matter how well they’re placed. Considering surgical hair restoration? Book a consultation with one of our experienced doctors today.
Did you know the cooler months can be ideal for a hair transplant? Lower temperatures reduce sweating, which helps prevent bacterial build-up and keeps the scalp clean during the initial healing phase. Less sun exposure also minimises UV-related irritation, and supports optimal graft survival. Clinically, hair follicles are more sensitive to heat and inflammation in the first 2–3 weeks post-surgery, so milder conditions can improve recovery outcomes. More questions?

An eyebrow transplant is more than moving hair from one area to another. It requires meticulous attention to hair angle, direction and density to mimic natural brow architecture. Each transplanted follicle must be placed to follow the subtle curvature and growth pattern of the original eyebrow hairs, ensuring symmetry and authenticity.

Scar Removal Surgery at MedHair is designed to reduce the visibility of significant scalp scars and improve the surrounding hair growth. Depending on your needs, our specialists may remove old scar tissue and use trichophytic closure to encourage hair to grow through the incision, or transplant healthy follicles directly into the scarred area for natural coverage. This approach restores density, creates a uniform appearance and helps achieve a more natural-looking scalp. To learn more about scar removal or to explore a personalised treatment plan, book a consultation on our website.
