FUE Hair Transplant

A minimally invasive Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant using Terra Medical's hybrid punch technique for natural-looking, permanent results with minimal downtime.

Terra Medical's FUE hair transplant is performed by Dr. Joshua Chong using a refined hybrid punch technique that minimises donor site trauma while maximising graft survival. Unlike older strip-harvesting methods, FUE extracts individual follicular units directly from the donor area — typically the back and sides of the scalp — leaving no linear scar and allowing patients to wear their hair short post-procedure. The number of grafts required depends on the extent of hair loss, typically ranging from 500 grafts for small hairline refinements to 6,000 grafts for advanced cases of male or female pattern hair loss. Each graft contains 1–4 hairs, and the precise placement of grafts determines the naturalness of the hairline and overall density outcome. Dr. Chong's training with the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery informs both his technical approach and his aesthetic judgement. Patients undergo a detailed scalp assessment and consultation before any procedure. The transplant itself is performed under local anaesthesia in the clinic's facility. Post-procedure care guidance is provided, and initial shedding of transplanted hairs in the first 4–6 weeks is normal. New growth typically begins at 3–4 months, with full results visible at 12–18 months. Terra Medical costs approximately SGD $7,000 for small cases and SGD $15,000–$20,000 for larger, more complex procedures — in line with the Singapore market for experienced, board-certified surgeons.
