About Us
Hair falls out every day as part of the body’s natural renewal cycle. The American Academy of Dermatology notes that it is normal for a person to lose about 50–100 hairs each day. Each hair follicle goes through a cycle that includes a growth stage (anagen) and a resting stage (telogen) before the hair falls out. This cycle repeats itself for as long as the hair follicle remains active and continues to produce new hairs.
According to 2018 research, approximately 40% of women experience excessive hair shedding when styling their hair, which includes brushing it. So this is one of the purposes that Hair Transplant Centre Malaysia started. Hair Transplant Centre Malaysia decided to create a safe space to share insights and information about hair loss, hair care, hair transplant, or even hair in general. This portal will be for people who are curious about hair or even seek advice about hair care.
What Is Hair Transplant
Hair transplants plan to reestablish hair development to spaces of the scalp with restricted or missing development. They are successful medicines for some kinds of balding, yet they can’t stop future balding. For enduring outcomes, individuals may require follow-up transplants.
Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that removes hair follicles from one part of the body, called the ‘donor site’, to a bald or balding part of the body known as the ‘recipient site’. The technique is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness.
Hair transplant can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair, pubic hair, and fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face-lifts and previous hair transplants. It differs from skin grafting in that grafts contain almost all of the epidermis and dermis surrounding the hair follicle, and many tiny grafts are transplanted rather than a single strip of skin.
There are two main types of hair transplants.
- Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) (also called Follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS)
- Follicular unit extraction (FUE) (also called follicular transfer (FT)
To elaborate further, Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is a hair restoration technique, also known as the Follicular unit strip surgery, where a patient’s hair is transplanted in naturally occurring groups of 1 to 4 hairs, called follicular units. Follicular units also contain sebaceous (oil) glands, nerves, a small muscle, and occasional fine vellus hairs. In follicular unit transplantation, these small units allow the surgeon to safely transplant thousands of grafts in a single session, which maximizes the cosmetic impact of the procedure.
Furthermore, as for Follicular unit extraction (FUE), it is also known as follicular transfer (FT), is one of two primary methods of obtaining hair follicles, naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs, for hair transplantation. The other method is called strip harvesting. The follicular units obtained by either method are the basic building blocks of follicular unit transplantation (FUT).
Now you will have tons of questions to ask.
- Is hair transplant a permanent process/surgery?
- Is hair transplant bad? Is it painful?
- Is hair transplant the same as plastic surgery?
- Am I suitable for a hair transplant?
- If I don’t want to do hair transplant, are there any other ways to cure/help hair loss?
And many other more questions that are stirring in your heart and mind. Well, let us answer all that burning questions in your heart, one by one.
Is Hair Transplant A Permanent Procedure/Process
Many of us may be worrying and wonder before proceeding to hair transplant on one question which is, “is hair transplant a permanent procedure/process?”.
Then let us tell you the answer to it. When you think of “hair transplants,” you might be envisioning the patchy, noticeable hair plugs of years past. But hair transplants have come a long way, particularly in the last decade. Hair transplantation also sometimes called hair restoration as it is an outpatient procedure that uses micrografting technology to donate your own hair follicles to other areas of your scalp that are thinning.
The results of a hair transplant are visibly long-lasting and are considered to be permanent. The procedure is also time-consuming and does involve a healing and recovery process. For these reasons, people who have already experienced significant thinning of the hair on their scalp are the typical candidates for a hair transplant. After your hair follicles are grafted into areas where your hair is thinning, it takes some time for your skin to heal. In fact, it’s normal for some of your hair to fall out for the first three months after the procedure.
Healing can take somewhere between 6 to 12 months. But once the healing process is complete, the transplanted follicles begin to grow hair that will fill out the bald patches on your scalp. This is hair that will continue to grow naturally as you get older. The movement of the hair follicles is permanent; there’s no way to return them to their previous position. But like the rest of your hair follicles, the transplanted ones have a lifespan. At some point, they may gradually stop producing as much hair as they used to.
Hair transplant surgery may be a good option for people who have hair thinning and hair loss. It may not be a permanent solution to thinning hair, but for many people, it can help restore hair fullness and self-confidence.
Authorities In Hair Restoration
One of the high authorities in this industry is International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS). This was formed under the guidance of leaders in 1993. The goal of ISHRS is The sharing of knowledge and the teaching of the next generation of hair transplant specialists. It is a global non-profit medical association and the leading authority on hair loss treatment and restoration. It has more than 1,000 members throughout 70 countries worldwide, the ISHRS is dedicated to achieving excellence in patient outcomes by promoting the highest standards of medical practice, medical ethics, and research in the medical hair restoration industry.

It offers research grants to its members to promote research into hair loss, or medical or surgical hair restoration.
Another one is American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS). It first surfaced in June 1995 at a Hair Replacement Surgery Seminar in Chicago. The individual plans authored by Dr Friedman for surgical hair restoration and Mr Santangelo for nonsurgical hair replacement were submitted to the board of directors of the AHLC. The board accepted Dr Friedman’s proposal and offered to sponsor an organizational meeting with the leaders in the field of hair restoration surgery.
