What is FUE Hair Transplant?
What Does FUE Hair Transplant Mean?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and implanted into thinning or bald areas.
Unlike older strip methods (FUT), FUE:
-
Does not require stitches
-
Leaves no linear scar
-
Allows faster recovery
-
Produces natural hair growth direction
This makes FUE the most preferred hair transplant technique in Malaysia today.
How FUE Hair Transplant Works
1
Consultation & Assessment
Hair loss pattern, donor density, medical history, and expectations are evaluated.
2
Donor Area Preparation
Hair is trimmed and local anaesthesia applied for comfort.
3
Follicle Extraction
Individual follicular units are extracted using micro-punch instruments.
4
Graft Preservation
Extracted follicles are stored in a controlled solution to maintain viability.
5
Implantation
Follicles are implanted at precise angles and density for natural results.
6
Recovery & Aftercare
Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to optimise survival and growth.

Who is suitable for FUE Hair Transplant?
Long Hair FUE vs Shaven FUE – What’s the Difference?
FUE hair transplant can be performed using either a shaven or long hair (unshaven) approach, depending on hair length, graft requirements, and lifestyle needs.
-
Shaven FUE
The donor area is trimmed to allow precise follicle extraction. This is the most common method and allows for higher graft accuracy and efficiency. -
Long Hair (Unshaven) FUE
Suitable for selected cases, especially professionals or individuals who wish to conceal signs of treatment. Only small areas are trimmed discreetly.
During your consultation at RJ Clinic, our team will advise which approach best suits your hair loss pattern and daily routine.
