Correct the hairline
A hair transplant can lower and round the hairline for a softer look or make it straighter and fuller for a more masculine look.
Treatments for all gender identities
We are seeing more and more people who are in the midst of their journey to affirm their gender identity want to adjust their hair in a way that truly suits them. Undergoing gender affirmation treatment is a big and meaningful journey. For many trans people, hair growth and hairline can be an important part of feeling more comfortable in their identity.

You who have undergone gender confirmation treatment
HRT and hair loss
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can affect hair growth in different ways. Transgender women (MTF) can slow hair loss and achieve some regrowth with estrogen and antiandrogens.
Trans men (FTM) can develop hereditary hair loss with testosterone therapy because testosterone is converted to DHT, which can weaken hair follicles. Minoxidil or PRP can help preserve hair.
DHT blockers and feminization
DHT blockers such as finasteride can slow hair loss and reduce body and facial hair.
Since DHT is important for beard and body hair growth, DHT blockers can inhibit these effects of testosterone therapy. However, they can help with hereditary hair loss.
Unfortunately, we at Nordic Hair Clinic cannot prescribe Finasteride if you are undergoing gender confirmation treatment, as it may affect your hormone therapy.
Minoxidil for beard growth
Minoxidil can stimulate beard growth by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles. For trans men (FTM), it can be a complement to testosterone to accelerate and improve beard growth.
For best results, we recommend using a dermaroller in combination with minoxidil.

Frequently asked questions and answers
How can I be sure I choose a clinic that respects and understands my gender identity?
At Nordic Hair Clinic, we understand that your hair is an important part of your identity and self-esteem, and we are happy to join you on your journey to tailor a treatment that is right for you.
Our past clients with different gender identities have had amazing experiences with our treatments and we are proud to share their journey with us.
How do hormone treatments affect my hair growth and the results of a hair transplant?
If you take testosterone, you may experience the same type of hair loss that affects men. The male hormones can change your appearance, including your hairline. This is because the body converts testosterone to DHT, which is thought to be a major factor in male pattern baldness.
However, if you take estrogen, changes in hormone levels can counteract the effect of DHT, which can help slow hair loss.
With a hair transplant using the FUE method, we take hair follicles from, for example, the neck, which is an area that is not as prone to hair loss, making the procedure permanent.
Can I have a hair transplant if I am on hormone therapy?
For those taking estrogen, hormonal changes can affect hair growth and quality. It is therefore important to stabilize hormone levels before a transplant to optimize the result.
For those taking testosterone, DHT levels can increase, which can lead to androgenetic hair loss. A transplant can still be done, but it may be good to combine it with, for example, finasteride or PRP to preserve the transplanted hair.
Talk to your treating doctor if you want to undergo a hair transplant and then book a free consultation with us at Nordic Hair Clinic.
Can PRP help with hormonal hair loss?
For those experiencing hair loss from testosterone therapy, PRP can strengthen hair follicles and slow the process. For those taking estrogen and antiandrogens, PRP can help improve hair quality and possibly promote some regrowth. Results vary, but the treatment can be a complement to other hair treatments.
Can finasteride be used by trans women?
Trans women can in some cases use Finasteride. However, because Finasteride affects hormones, it may interfere with any hormone therapy. Therefore, talk to your doctor if you want to start treatment with Finasteride. Unfortunately, Nordic Hair Clinic cannot write a prescription for Finasteride for trans people.
Can finasteride be used by trans men?
Trans men can in some cases use Finasteride. However, because Finasteride affects hormones, it may interfere with any hormone therapy. Therefore, talk to your doctor if you want to start treatment with Finasteride. Unfortunately, Nordic Hair Clinic cannot write a prescription for Finasteride for trans people.
Why don't you prescribe Finasteride to transgender people?
In most cases, transgender people have undergone or are undergoing some type of hormone therapy to confirm their identity. Finasteride works by blocking the hormone DHT and we cannot guarantee that Finasteride will not interfere with a transgender person’s ongoing or already completed hormone therapy. We instead refer to consulting your treating doctor whether Finasteride is a good idea for you.
