ABOUT
The impact of losing your hair can be profound for both men and women. Many struggle silently in shame over their receding hairline, thinning strands, or a growing bald patch.
At Veritas Medical Aesthetics, we understand our patients’ struggle and want to help them the best way that we know – through evidence-based treatments for hair growth.
HOW IT WORKS
A FUE hair transplant is a minor surgical procedure that moves hair follicular units, or grafts, from the back of the scalp to balding areas. It is a minimally invasive method that leaves no linear scar, therefore requiring no wound care and has a short social downtime of 5-7 days.
A well-performed hair transplant should look totally natural to onlookers and even your barbers. This requires a highly skilled team experienced in the artistry of selecting the right grafts for implantation with the most natural angle, direction and distribution.
Compared to a FUT hair transplant, FUE offers benefits such as minimal scarring and downtime. Personal factors such as hair loss pattern, scale of hair loss and budget are some key consideration factors in deciding between a FUE vs FUT hair transplant.
An FUE hair transplant procedure usually takes half a day to a day, depending on the scale of the procedure, and follows the steps below:
1. Anaesthetic and Extraction
The donor area is cleaned with an antiseptic solution and then numbed with anaesthetic before the surgeon begins extracting the hair follicles. Each hair follicle is extracted individually from the donor area with a pen and then stored in a special solution that preserves them for implantation.
2. Hair Graft Inspection
Every individual hair graft will be examined under a microscope and we will use only the best and most suitable hair grafts. This ensures the quality and survivability of the hair grafts.
3. Planning and Implantation
After inspection and selection of the hair grafts, the Doctor will plan how to nest position the grafts such that the appearance of the transplant is as natural as possible. We will consider factors such as the angle, direction and distribution of the grafts. When the distribution plan has been decided, the hair grafts are then implanted onto the balding areas.
4.Recovery
After the hair transplant surgery, you may have some swelling at the donor area and across the forehead for a few days. Your doctor will provide you with post-hair transplant aftercare, treatments and products to advice to ensure the success of your hair transplant.
Apart from hair loss on the scalp, many patients also undergo FUE hair transplant for permanent facial hair in Singapore
FUE hair transplant can be performed on the eye brows to achieve fuller brows and for the beard area to achieve a more masculine look.
Compared to a full-day hair transplant procedure on the scalp, brow and beard transplant are usually performed in half a day since fewer number of hair grafts are involved.
WHY VERITAS?
At Veritas, hair transplants are performed with a hybrid hair transplantation technique that allows us to reap the benefits of both FUE Hair Transplant and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). The hybrid FUE-DHI technique provides higher control over hair graft placement for a more seamless result while minimising trauma to the scalp and hair grafts, to enhance graft survivability rate.
Hair transplant is an intricate surgical procedure that requires a ton of teamwork. Dr Chua Cheng Yu trained at the internationally accredited hair transplant training programme in Istanbul and makes all the key decisions on treatment parameters and hair transplant diagnosis. Having personally undergone both a hairline and beard transplant, Dr Chua has a profound understanding of the psychological impact of hair loss on his patients.
As the team assisting the doctor also contribute significantly to the success of the hair transplant, our team of therapists assisting the doctor for hair transplant procedures in Veritas have undergone hair transplant training in Turkey, often considered the global lead in the field of hair transplantation surgery and hair loss treatments.
