3 / 801 results- Why is Estradiol used to treat hair loss in women and transgender people undergoing hormone therapy? Estradiol helps treat hair loss by balancing hormones and supporting hair follicle health.
- Is follistatin safe for use in women or transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy? No study has tested follistatin in women or transgender people on hormone therapy, and it has no approved human use or established dose; the one relevant signal, from a 2023 randomized study in adolescents with PCOS, links higher follistatin to less favourable metabolic markers, so the published evidence does not support using it in this group.
- What should I expect during my consultation for a hair transplant? Expect a scalp assessment, treatment options discussion, and personalized plan during your consultation.
- 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.
- How long does a hair transplant procedure take? A hair transplant procedure typically takes 4 to 8 hours.
