FUE Hair Transplant

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant performed personally by Dr Harold Ma, relocating healthy follicles from the donor zone to thinning or receding areas with a 95%+ graft yield rate and no linear scarring.

FUE Hair Transplant at Freia Medical is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to permanently restore hair density by redistributing healthy follicles from the back and sides of the scalp — where hair is genetically resistant to DHT — to areas affected by thinning or recession. The procedure is carried out entirely by Dr Harold Ma, who has over 15 years of dedicated experience in hair restoration surgery, ensuring consistent and predictable outcomes for each patient. During the procedure, individual follicular units containing one to four hair follicles are extracted using a precision micro-punch tool, leaving only tiny random micro-dots that heal invisibly within days. The harvested grafts are inspected under high-powered magnification, grouped by size, and stored in special solutions at regulated temperatures to maximise viability. Dr Ma then personally creates the implantation sites with meticulous attention to angle, depth, and directionality before employing his signature no-touch implanting technique to place each graft with minimal trauma. The procedure typically takes three to nine hours depending on the number of grafts required, and the vast majority of patients — nine out of ten — report little to no pain throughout. The clinic's 95%+ graft yield rate reflects the high standards of handling and placement. Post-operative care is comprehensive: patients receive wound recovery laser treatment, cleaning and bandaging, post-op medication, recovery serums, and access to a 24-hour support hotline. Follow-up reviews and dressing changes are included as part of the surgical fee. Transplanted hairs naturally shed within two to four weeks after surgery before entering a new growth cycle. Visible improvement typically begins at three to five months, with full results evident between twelve and eighteen months. FUE is suitable for both men and women with stable, genetically-driven hair loss and adequate donor supply.
