Hair transplants, finasteride and minoxidil each have their uses, limitations and risks. Lavender Hair brings together authoritative information to help you prepare questions and make an informed decision with your doctor or pharmacist.
The American Academy of Dermatology notes that results depend greatly on the surgeon, and that existing hair may continue to shed and thin after a transplant. The NHS also lists possible bleeding, infection, scarring and graft failure, and notes that alopecia areata is usually not suitable for a hair transplant.
With your treating team's approval, Lavender Hair can help with everyday cleansing, moisturising and scalp comfort. Follow your surgeon's instructions on when to wash your hair and which products to use after surgery.
A prescription medicine commonly used for male pattern hair loss. Official labelling lists possible adverse effects including reduced libido, erectile dysfunction and changes in ejaculate volume. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets because of potential risk to a male foetus.
Topical products commonly cause scalp itching, dryness, flaking, irritation or a burning sensation. The label advises stopping use and seeking medical care if you experience chest pain, a rapid heartbeat, dizziness or fainting, unexplained weight gain, or swelling of the hands or feet. Continued use is usually part of maintaining the benefits.
Individual responses and medical histories vary. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about your concerns, medical history, plans for pregnancy and any other medicines to help you make a suitable decision.
Mood changes also need attention with finasteride, and some sexual problems may persist after stopping it. The UK MHRA's 2026 warning advises people taking 1 mg finasteride for hair loss to stop taking it and contact a doctor promptly if they develop depression or suicidal thoughts. Ask your prescriber about arrangements for other doses or medicines.
