learn Tofacitinib

Why is tofacitinib considered a medical treatment rather than a cosmetic or preventative hair product? Tofacitinib is a medical treatment because it targets underlying immune conditions affecting hair growth.

learn Hair Transplant

Do I need a consultation before a hair transplant treatment? A consultation is typically required before a hair transplant to assess suitability and create a treatment plan.
Can a hair transplant be combined with other treatments? Clinics commonly say a transplant is combined with other treatments, most often minoxidil, finasteride or PRP, but the evidence behind each add-on differs. Some of the add-ons offered, such as stem-cell or exosome products, are not approved treatments for hair loss.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

When will I see new hair growth after scalp micropigmentation? Providers describe scalp micropigmentation as a cosmetic tattoo that does not regrow hair, so there is no regrowth timeline to wait for. The 3-to-6-month and 9-to-12-month milestones often quoted alongside it belong to hair transplant surgery, not to SMP.
Is scalp micropigmentation safe? Providers describe scalp micropigmentation as low-risk when a trained practitioner uses sterile single-use equipment, but that is a provider claim rather than a regulatory finding: pigment allergy, infection and colour change are documented risks of cosmetic tattooing.
