Hair restoration refers to medical procedures and support treatments aimed at regrowing hair, preventing further hair loss, or restoring hair density. Many techniques exist; among the most common are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), PRP (Platelet‑Rich Plasma) therapy, and non‑surgical modalities such as low‑level laser therapy, topical/oral medications, and scalp micropigmentation.

InterClinic offers state‑of‑the‑art hair restoration solutions, combining surgical and non‑surgical approaches. Because each patient’s hair loss pattern, donor area, scalp health, genetics, and expectations differ, we design personalized plans. Moreover, we emphasize natural‑looking results, minimal scarring, and graft survival. In addition, InterClinic staff includes certified surgeons and medical specialists in hair transplant, dermatology, and follicular health.

You may be suitable for hair restoration if you notice thinning or receding hair, have stable hair loss, and possess a healthy donor area (typically the back or sides of scalp). If genetic hair loss is involved or hormones like DHT affect your pattern, restoring hair often yields good results. Additionally, patients with stress‑related hair fall, nutritional deficiencies, or scalp disorders can benefit from combined medical and surgical treatment.

However, certain conditions may reduce success. If you have active scalp infection, uncontrolled medical illness (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes), very low donor hair supply, or unrealistic expectations, hair restoration may be less ideal. Also, skin type (especially very dark or very sensitive skin) can influence risk of pigmentation changes or scarring. Because of this, we conduct detailed assessments including scalp imaging, donor mapping, lab tests, and lifestyle review to determine eligibility.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) are two primary surgical hair restoration techniques. FUE extracts individual hair follicles directly from donor sites; no strip of skin is removed. Because of that, scarring is minimal, recovery tends to be quicker, and hairstyles can be shorter.

FUT involves harvesting a strip of scalp from donor area, then dissecting it into individual grafts. Although FUT can deliver more grafts in a single session and may sometimes cost less per graft, it results in a linear scar at donor site and longer healing. InterClinic offers both techniques and helps patients choose based on extent of hair loss, donor area condition, aesthetic goals, and tolerance for scarring or downtime.

Graft number depends on many factors including size of thinning or bald areas, desired density, hair texture, hair color, donor hair quality, and scalp laxity. Typically, smaller areas like temples or hairline require fewer grafts (for example 500‑1,500 grafts), whereas larger bald regions may need several thousand grafts.

Because cost correlates directly with graft count, type of procedure (FUE or FUT), additional treatments (PRP, laser, etc.), clinic reputation, and postoperative care, prices vary widely. InterClinic provides detailed quotations after evaluation. Aside from procedure cost, expect to pay for consultation, donor assessment, medications, aftercare, and maintenance. Moreover, non‑surgical adjuncts (e.g. PRP, topical treatment) can add to the total investment.

After your hair restoration procedure, results develop in stages. In the first one to two months, you may experience shedding of transplanted hair—commonly called “shock loss.” Because shedding is natural, it doesn’t indicate failure. Starting around 3‑4 months, you should see early sprouts of hair regrowth. By 6‑9 months, density improves significantly, though hair may still be thin or fine. Full maturation, with thicker hair shafts and complete aesthetic blending, often takes 12‑18 months.

During recovery, expect some swelling, redness, crusts around transplanted grafts, and mild discomfort. Additionally, it’s vital to follow strict aftercare: avoid strenuous exercise, protect your scalp from sun, use gentle shampoos, and adhere to medication. InterClinic provides detailed guidelines and follow‑ups to ensure graft take and healing are optimized.

Local anesthesia is used in surgical hair restoration procedures, making pain during the procedure minimal. Most patients report minor discomfort afterwards—such as soreness or tightness in donor and recipient areas for a few days. Over time, sensations lighten, and you can return to light daily activities usually within 1‑2 days.

Safety is a priority. InterClinic adheres to strict sterilisation protocols, uses medical‑grade equipment, employs well‑trained surgical teams, and monitors for complications. Rare risks might include infection, scarring, numbness, or poor graft survival. Because we’ve built decades of experience, we manage risk proactively and inform patients fully before treatment.

Non‑surgical options support hair restoration either as standalone or supplementary treatments. Among available modalities are PRP therapy, topical medications like minoxidil, oral medications when safe, low‑level laser therapy (LLLT), and scalp micropigmentation. Since early‑stage hair thinning responds well to non‑surgical methods, starting them early often results in better preservation of native hair and enhances surgical outcomes if transplant becomes necessary.

Furthermore, nutritional support, hormone balance, stress management, sleep quality, and scalp care also play vital roles. These lifestyle factors affect hair follicle health, blood flow, and overall growth environment. InterClinic integrates these non‑surgical supports into every hair restoration plan.

Preparing well helps you get better results and smoother recovery. First, schedule your consultation with adequate time ahead of the procedure; avoid plans that require immediate public appearance. Next, follow your doctor’s instructions regarding medications—some like blood‑thinners may need to be paused. Additionally, avoid smoking, limit alcohol, ensure your nutrition is good, and treat any scalp infections or skin issues before surgery.

Also, arrange for support post‑procedure (a helper, a comfortable place to rest, possibly someone to drive you home). Finally, adhere to pre‑procedure care instructions such as washing scalp, avoiding hair dye or harsh products, and staying hydrated. Those preparations reduce risk and help grafts settle optimally.

Aftercare significantly influences how much hair survival and visible result you achieve. Immediately after procedure, keep treated areas clean, follow wound‑care instructions, and avoid direct sun exposure. Use prescribed shampoos, avoid scratching, and don’t pick scabs.

Over weeks, resume gentle washing; avoid heavy sweating, saunas, or swimming until cleared by your surgeon. In months after, continue use of any medications, topical treatments, or supplements as advised. Regular follow‑ups with your InterClinic surgeon or nurse are designed to monitor growth and address any concerns. Because hair restoration is not a “one‑time fix,” ongoing care and maintenance are essential for long‑term satisfaction.

Every medical procedure has inherent risks. In hair restoration, risks include infection, swelling, bleeding, scabbing, shock loss (temporary shedding of existing hair), numbness or discomfort in treated area, and sometimes less than expected density. More rarely, issues like unnatural hair direction, visible scarring, or pigment changes can occur.

However, those risks are minimized when you choose a qualified clinic with certified doctors, sterile conditions, quality equipment, and careful planning. InterClinic maintains high safety standards, informs patients fully, and applies evidence‑based protocols to prevent or manage complications.

Yes. Many women experience hair thinning or pattern hair loss. When female patients present, evaluation delves into hormonal status, genetic predisposition, underlying medical or nutritional issues, and scalp health. Once diagnosis is confirmed, treatments—including FUE, non‑surgical therapy (PRP, medications), laser treatments, and supportive lifestyle medicine—can be very effective.

However, because women may have diffuse thinning or hormonal cycles, restoration often requires combined strategies: medical, surgical, and maintenance. InterClinic customizes plans with these differences in mind.

Cost depends on graft count, technique chosen (FUE, FUT, DHI), non‑surgical support, supplemental treatments, clinic location, surgeon experience, and post‑procedural care. Because factors vary widely, InterClinic offers tailored consultations to estimate true cost. Additionally, packages may include diagnostics, pre‑surgery preparation, surgery fee, anesthetics, postoperative follow‑ups, and medications.

Many clinics in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor list FUE transplant costs ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of Malaysian Ringgit depending on complexity. Nevertheless, choosing a cheaper option without experience or safety may lead to poor results or higher long‑term costs.

Transplanted hair usually lasts permanently because follicles from donor areas are typically resistant to the hormonal causes of hair loss (e.g. DHT). However, untreated native hair (non‑transplanted) may continue to thin over time. Additionally, lifestyle, scalp health, nutrition, and medical care can affect long‑term survival.

Furthermore, maintenance treatments, medications, or occasional touch‑up surgeries may be needed to address new areas of thinning or to increase density. InterClinic supports long‑term follow‑ups, health monitoring, and aesthetic alignment over time.

When selecting a clinic, look for certifications, surgeon credentials, patient testimonials, and photographic before/after galleries. Confirm that procedures are medically supervised, that clinics are registered under Malaysia Ministry of Health (MOH), sterile environment is maintained, and safety protocols are followed.

Also ensure clinic gives you realistic expectations, full diagnostic work, and aftercare support. Transparent pricing, thorough consultation, and honest communication matter. InterClinic prides itself on these standards: certified team, clear disclosure, ethical care, and personalized plans.

Asking the right questions empowers you to make informed decisions. Good questions include:
How many hair restoration procedures have you performed?
What is your graft survival rate?
Are you certified and specialized in hair restoration surgery?
What non‑surgical adjuncts will be included?
What kind of post‑procedure support and maintenance is included?
Can you show me before/after photos of patients with similar hair type and ethnicity?
What risks are involved, and how are complications managed?
Because each patient’s condition is unique, a detailed dialogue ensures the plan matches your situation.
