Hair Transplant in Penang, Malaysia
Hair Transplant
Hair loss and receding hairlines can be a frustrating experience for both men and women. As you age, you might notice your hairline starting to move further, receding into the forehead. Combined with thinning, you might not be able to hide your scalp patchiness.
That’s why we offer advanced hair transplant surgery in Penang, a permanent solution for achieving a thicker, fuller head of hair.
What is a Hair Transplant?
Hair transplants, sometimes also called hair restoration or hair replacement, is a surgical procedure to fight hair loss. It involves transplanting healthy hair follicles from a donor area on the scalp, typically the back or sides, to bald or thinning areas. This technique allows for natural-looking, permanent hair growth.
Many people turn to hair transplants as the final solution when medication and other treatments are not effective. A dermatologist is typically the doctor qualified and responsible to perform the procedure.
Who is a Candidate for Hair Transplants?
Hair transplants are a suitable option for men and women experiencing various types of hair loss, including:
- Male pattern baldness
- Female pattern hair loss
- Receding hairline
- Thinning hair on the crown or scalp
- Hair loss due to accidents, burns, or scarring
Who is a Candidate for Hair Transplants?
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
In this technique, a small strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and individual follicular units (groups of 1-4 hairs) are carefully extracted and transplanted to the recipient area. FUT leaves a linear scar in the donor area, which is typically hidden within the remaining hair.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE hair transplantation is a minimally invasive technique that involves extracting individual follicular units directly from the donor area using a very small diameter punch. The extracted follicles are then meticulously transplanted to the balding areas. FUE leaves minimal, pinpoint scars in the donor area, which are often undetectable with short haircuts.
Comparing FUT Hair Transplants and FUE Hair Transplants
| Feature | Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) | Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) |
|---|---|---|
| Follicle Extraction | Strip removal and dissection | Individual unit extraction |
| Scarring | Linear scar in donor area | Minimal, pinpoint scars |
| Invasive Nature | More invasive | Minimally invasive |
| Recovery Time | Longer (7-10 days) | Shorter (3-5 days) |
| Donor Area Visibility | Scar may be noticeable with short haircuts | Scars are typically undetectable |
The best hair transplant technique for you depends on several factors. Your dermatologist at A Klinik will consider:
- Extent of hair loss: FUT can harvest a larger number of follicles in one session, potentially making it suitable for broader areas of hair loss.
- Desired outcome: If minimising scarring is a major concern, FUE may be preferable due to its minimally invasive nature and undetectable scars.
- Scalp laxity: FUT may be better suited for individuals with looser scalp tissue, while FUE can be performed on tighter scalps.
You should also discuss any personal preference or anxiety surrounding the procedure with your dermatologist, who can help reassure your feelings.

FAQ on Hair Transplants

Temporary side effects like swelling, tenderness, and scalp numbness are common. There's also a minimal risk of infection. Your dermatologist will discuss potential risks and how to minimise them.
Transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to balding, meaning they will continue to grow throughout your life.
