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.

How age affects hair density

Did you know the natural ageing process can cause hair follicles to miniaturise? This results in finer strands and reduced density. While hormones and nutrition still play a role, this type of thinning is not irreversible. The good news? Our range of treatments — from restorative PRP Combo therapy to advanced FUE and FUT transplants — is designed to combat the age decline, helping you regain both volume and confidence ✨ A personalised consultation with our doctors will determine the ideal strategy for your hair and life stage.

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.

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.
