Hair Transplant Journey in Malaysia

Hey there. It does worry me a little seeing quite a number of hairs on hand during shampoo. But knowing it's the shedding stage and noticing baby hairs at those empty follicles do helps. I think I am at the peak of shedding stage now after comparing Today's and last week's photo. I did trimmed the hairs a little to even out the length.  Implanted hairs tend to grow upward. Can say it's fully recovered cause it feels absolutely normal even when you touch it. Until next time, cheers~

Just realized it's only been 3 weeks plus since I started medication (hair gel & supplements). I suppose it takes time to see some significant effects.  As the growth rate for each hair differs, you can see uneven hair length all over the place.  Shedding continues but started to see baby hair popping out from empty follicles.  Front and sides view. The same uneven hair length. Donor and crown area. Until the next post, cheers~

Just want to share a video I found online which shows the difference between method used by DHI and FUE method offered at elsewhere. I am not trying to promote anything here but those questions shown in the video are those you should definitely look out before you decided to go with the procedure. I had them listed on below. 1. Who performs the procedure? 2. How are hairs extracted? 3. Graft survival ratio? 4. Are angle, direction & depth controlled? 5. How hairs are implanted? 6. Is the process scar-free? Do let me know if you have any inquiry as I might be able to help you with my experience. Again, this is not an advertisement :) Cheers~

Hi, it's time to update you guys :) As you know, I just had my first PRP treatment last weekend and honestly since then there's not much different except the continuous shedding. Doctor said the shedding might go on for some time. From the top view, if you look closer you will notice quite a number of empty follicles at the implanted area which I suppose is normal for this shedding stage. One good thing is it kind of even out the density between implanted and existing area, reducing the awkwardness.  Front and sides view. I guess it takes time for the PRP treatment to take effect, especially on the crown area. Stay tuned for more updates! Cheers~

First of all, what's PRP? It stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma and it's in our blood! In short, this treatment uses growth factor from our own blood and inject it back to ourselves to jump start the healing process. As we are unlikely to be allergic to our own blood,  it's considered an extremely safe treatment option. The whole treatment took around 1 hour and this is what I went through. 1. Signed consent form from clinic. 2. Blood was drawn from arm while anesthetic cream was applied to the whole scalp. 3. The blood was placed in a centrifuge machine to separate platelet from the rest of the blood components. Platelet-rich plasma was then extracted into few injection syringes. This process alone took around 30 mins. 4. Second layer of anesthetic cream was applied. 15 mins later, hair was washed. 5. Platelet-rich plasma was injected into hair loss area including implanted area. Though anesthetic cream was applied twice, the injection still hurts espe...

Finally, it's been a month since my hair transplant procedure! Everything is good so far and I am actually comfortable walking around without wearing a cap. To sum up my 1 month journey: Day 0: 6 hours of transplant procedure Day 1: Bandages removed from the back of scalp at clinic Day 3: Full head wash at clinic Day 7: All scabs removed Day 10: Resume mild exercise Day 14: Clinic visit. Got shampoo, hair gel & supplements Day 19: Starts to notice significant hair growth & shedding Day 30: Resume normal exercise routine Weekly comparison ⤵ A simple video on my 1 month journey ⤵ Thanks guys for following my blog. I will definitely do a post on PRP treatment once I go through one on tomorrow. Stay tuned and thanks again! Cheers~

It's almost a month since my transplant procedure and I am happy with the result so far. More shedding during shampoo. Starts to see some density near the edge though still long way to go. Front and sides view. Happy to see some growing hairs near crown area. I will do a summary video for my past 1 month journey. So stay tuned! Cheers guys~
