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.

FAQ – How much time do I need off work after a transplant?

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

We recommend patients take 3 to 7 days leave following a hair transplant. In the first few days, mild redness, swelling and small scabs may develop in both the donor and recipient areas as part of the normal healing process. Patients with non-physical or remote work may return sooner, while those in customer-facing or physically demanding roles may require more time. At Medhair, your doctor will provide personalised aftercare instructions and prescribed medication to promote proper healing. This ensures a safe return to work without compromising graft survival or recovery outcomes 🌿 If you would like to book a consultation or learn more about our approach, 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.

Is shedding normal after a hair transplant?

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Noticing shedding after your procedure? This is a normal and expected part of the journey. Newly implanted follicles enter a resting phase before activating for strong, permanent growth. Shedding is a positive sign that your hair restoration is progressing as planned — and patience is key 🌱 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.

Hairstyles that can cause permanent follicle damage

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

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

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

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.

Can hair grow over scars?
