learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

Is the hair transplant procedure performed under local or general anesthesia? Hair transplant procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia.
Who is suitable for DHI hair transplant? Clinics say DHI suits men and women with several types of hair loss, but they also say suitability depends on donor supply, scalp condition and general health, and only a personal medical assessment can decide it.

learn Cyproterone

Is cyproterone safe to use during gender transition? Regulators and a large French cohort study link higher-dose, long-term cyproterone acetate to meningioma, and its label also lists liver-enzyme and mood effects — so it is not a drug anyone should call safe in the abstract, and its use in gender-affirming care is a prescriber's decision with monitoring.

learn Clascoterone

Can I use clascoterone if I'm undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy? No published clinical trial has tested clascoterone in people on gender-affirming hormone therapy, so its safety in that group is unknown. The FDA label reports low systemic exposure and no described effect on blood testosterone, but it also records HPA-axis suppression and raised potassium in a small minority of subjects.

learn Setipiprant

Can Setipiprant be used safely by women or people undergoing gender transition? Setipiprant's safety for women and those in transition is not well-studied.
