Things People Often Ask Us

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique in which individual follicular units are extracted from the donor area using a small punch. Once extracted, the grafts can be implanted using different methods. With conventional FUE, recipient sites are created first with fine incisions and the grafts are then placed using forceps. Alternatively, an implanter pen can be used to create the recipient opening and place the graft in a single step, without pre-made recipient incisions. The implantation method is selected according to the treatment area, existing hair, graft requirements and individual surgical plan.

Hairline design considers the angle, direction and density of existing hair to help transplanted hair integrate naturally with the surrounding areas.

The duration of the procedure depends on the extent of the transplant. Typically, a session can last from 5-6 hours for covering 1-2 zones, while more extensive coverage for 2-3 zones may be conducted over two days.

Recovery time is relatively short. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 3-5 days post-procedure. Any mild discomfort or redness usually subsides within a few days.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Post-procedure pain is generally mild and can be managed effectively with over-the-counter pain relief.

Visible improvements can be expected within 6 to 18 months, depending on the treated area. For example, results in the hairline area can be seen as early as 6 months, while the top and crown areas may take 12-18 months.

Yes. Hair transplantation may be suitable for women with certain patterns of hair loss, depending on the cause of thinning, donor availability and overall surgical suitability.

Suitability is assessed during consultation. Factors including the pattern and stability of hair loss, donor density and reserve, scalp condition, medical history and individual goals are considered before surgery is recommended.

Detailed pre-operative instructions are provided before surgery, including any relevant guidance on medication, hair and scalp preparation, and what to do on the day of the procedure.

Specific aftercare instructions are provided following surgery, together with guidance on washing, scalp care and the ongoing management of existing hair.
