If you've found your way to this page, you've probably already done a lot of reading about hair transplant singapore procedures and their histories.
Given that hair transplants are labor-intensive surgeries that can last up to 6–9 hours, here is a succinct overview of the various hair transplant processes (FUE vs FUT).
How "Strip Surgery" or FUT Performs
Before doing a surgical hair transplant, the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) process includes removing a strip of the patient's scalp and then slicing to access the individual hair transplants. Afterward, the exposed region is typically stitched together to hide the bald spot.
The donor location is recognized
On the patient, a specified region is designated for the graft harvest.
To prevent the grafts from being transectioned, incisions are done after the hair angle.
The strip is divided into 'grafts' of 1, 2, 3, or 4 hairs by slicing and dicing it.
Trichophytic suturing is a method of stitching used to seal the harvested strip wound.
Using a forceps or an implanter tool, the prepared grafts are then manually placed into the recipient location.
How Follicular Unit Extraction/Excision (FUE) Hair Transplantation Operates
FUE hair transplantation in Singapore is a meticulous, labor-intensive treatment that involves punching out individual hair grafts to reduce scarring and prevent bald spots on the back of the head. This is less intrusive than the FUT, allowing for faster healing, but calls for accuracy and ability to perform.
The donor region is recognized
At the donor area, the hair is shaved to a length of around 1mm.
A spinning punch, either manually or mechanically powered, is used to extract individual hair follicular units, or "grafts," at an appropriate density for the process.
These "grafts" are examined under a microscope to see whether they are suitable for implantation. Some will be rejected or further trimmed.
The grafts are then manually implanted using forceps or an implanter tool in the recipient location.
