As men age, they may experience hair loss and thinning, which leads to male pattern baldness. This is partly due to the hair follicles' reduced sensitivity to the DHT hormone. Fortunately, thinning hair can be resolved using hair transplant procedures such as FUE and FUT.

<Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Procedure>
1. The donor area of your scalp will be marked and anesthetized. Individual follicular units will be extracted / isolated using a custom-built micro-removal instrument with utmost-care. Surrounding tissue will be unaffected. The donor area will heal within a week.
2.The recipient area will be anesthetized. Then, small puncture sites will be created to receive the grafts. These puncture sites will be positioned in a predetermined pattern and density, and angled in a uniformed way so that your hair pattern will appear realistic.
3. The donor hair grafts will be inserted.

<Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) Procedure>
1. After your scalp is anesthetized, a strip of tissue will be removed from the donor area. Once extracted, this donor strip will be slivered into several independent follicular units using microscopic dissection techniques.
2. As these follicular unit grafts are being prepared, small incisions will be made in the scalp, which are called recipient sites, where the grafts will be placed.
3. The arrangement and positioning of these follicular unit grafts dictate the aesthetic qualities of a hair transplant. Therefore, this arrangement differs with each patient, according to the patient’s history of hair loss and probability of future hair loss.

*Hair Transplant is performed under local anaesthesia.

Stop smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, taking hormonal pills, herbal supplements, and medicines (other than those that your doctor allows you continue), at least two weeks before your schedule. Those with any diseases need surgical clearance from their medical specialist.

Q1: What is the meaning of a "donor" or "donor area"?
A1: The donor area is the section of the scalp (normally the back and sides) where hair-bearing skin is removed during a surgical hair restoration procedure. For a hair transplant to be successful, hair in this area must be permanent (not subject to the effects of DHT).

Q2: What are "recipient sites"?
A2: Recipient sites are the needle slits or holes that the hair transplant surgeon creates in the patient’s scalp, on which the follicular unit grafts are inserted/placed during a hair transplant procedure. Hair transplants at our affiliated clinic are created utilizing lateral slits (also called coronal or horizontal slits).

Q3: How long do I need to be admitted?
A3: For this case, you may be discharged as soon as surgery ends. However, you will be required to come back the next day for scalp hygiene, 3 days after for for a follow up and 7 days after for stitch removal.

Q4: Will I be asleep during the procedure?
A4: Local anaesthesia with sedation will used, therefore, you will be awake and relaxed.

Q5: Will the results be permanent?
A5: Permanence isn't guaranteed as it involves effects of aging and genetic tendencies.
