FUE Hair Transplant

Minimally invasive follicular unit extraction surgery with three technique variants — fully shaved, partially shaved, and no-shave FUE — performed by an ISHRS-credentialled SMC-registered surgeon using Cole Instruments. Permanently restores hair to thinning or bald areas with no scalpel cuts and minimal scarring.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant at Dr Tyng Tan Aesthetics and Hair Clinic is performed by a specialist surgeon who holds SMC registration and an ISHRS Graduate Fellowship — one of the highest international credentials in hair restoration surgery. The clinic has over ten years of dedicated FUE and FUT surgical experience and uses Cole Instruments from the USA, known in the field for their precision micro-punch tools. The FUE technique involves individually extracting hair follicle units from the donor area at the back and sides of the scalp using a 0.8–1.0 mm micro-punch device. This avoids the linear incision required in FUT strip surgery, leaving only tiny circular healing sites that become invisible once hair grows back over them. The extracted grafts are then implanted into the recipient zone — whether a receding hairline, crown thinning, or a scarred area — with each graft placed at the correct angle and density to produce natural-looking growth. The clinic offers three FUE variants to suit different patients and lifestyles. Fully shaved FUE shaves the entire scalp to 1–2 mm, allowing maximum surgical efficiency and the highest graft yields in a single session — ideal for patients with advanced hair loss. Partially shaved FUE shaves only the donor extraction zone while surrounding hair conceals the treated area, offering a balance between yield and discretion with approximately two weeks' social downtime. No-shave FUE is the clinic's signature technique: individual donor grafts are trimmed while all surrounding hair remains completely untouched, meaning patients can resume work within three days with no visible signs of having undergone surgery — a significant advantage for professionals and those in public-facing roles. FUT strip surgery is also available as an alternative, offering higher graft counts per session at the cost of a linear donor scar hidden beneath surrounding hair, with a recovery period of two to four weeks. Results from FUE are permanent, using the patient's own genetically resistant donor follicles. Transplanted hairs can be washed, styled, and cut like natural hair. The clinic dedicates surgeon time 100% to the patient on surgery day, with no delegation to non-surgical staff for the extraction or implantation phases.
