ARE YOU FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT CANDIDATE
Hair transplantation involves moving follicles from a high density permanent, (donor) area at the back of the head to a low-density balding (recipient) area. Furthermore not everyone is a good candidate for hair transplant. Here are the thoughts from Datuk Dr Inder, diplomate of ABHRS from Hair Transplant Centre Malaysia:
Understanding Male Pattern Baldness
FUE Hair Transplant Candidate's 7 Stages of Norwood
Male pattern baldness is something that we treat in our clinic very often. There are many types of male pattern baldness, from stage 1 to stage 7 according to the Norwood classification.
Stage 1
At this stage, there isn't any significant hair loss or recession of the hairline.
Stage 2
At this stage, There is a slight hair loss and recession of the hairline around the temples. This is also known as an adult or mature hairline.
Stage 3
You will notice the first signs of small significant balding. The hairline becomes deeply recessed at both temples, resembling an M, U, or V shape.
Stage 4
There is sparse hair or no hair on the vertex. The two areas of hair loss are separated by a band of hair that connects to the hair remaining on the sides of the scalp.
Stage 5
The two areas of hair loss are larger than in stage 4. They are still separated, but the band of hair between them is narrower and sparser.
Stage 6
The balding areas at the temples join with the balding area at the vertex. The band of hair across the top of the head is gone or sparse.
Stage 7
The most severe stage of hair loss, only a band of hair going around the sides of the head remains. This hair is usually not dense and may be fine.
The signs and symptoms of hair loss in men may include the following:
- A receding interior hairline
- Visibility of bald scalp
- Hair thinning at the crown area
Cause of male pattern hair loss
Genetics
Family history significantly impacts hair loss. If anyone in your family has male pattern baldness, you’re likely to experience similar hair loss.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal imbalances in males, caused by factors like thyroid dysfunction, low testosterone, or excess DHT, can lead to hair loss, fatigue, and mood changes.
Medications
Certain drugs, like chemotherapy agents, antidepressants, blood thinners, and beta-blockers, can cause hair loss as a side effect.
Stree
Physical or emotional stress can trigger temporary hair loss, known as telogen effluvium, by pushing hair follicles into a resting phase.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Nutritional deficiencies, such as lack of iron, zinc, biotin, or protein, can weaken hair follicles and lead to hair loss.
Medical Conditions
Medical conditions like autoimmune diseases (e.g., alopecia areata) or scalp infections (e.g., fungal infections) can cause hair loss.
Overstyling
Overstyling with frequent heat or chemical treatments can damage hair follicles, leading to breakage and hair thinning.
Aging
Aging naturally causes hair thinning over time due to slower hair growth and weaker follicles.
Environmental Factors
Environmental factors like pollution and UV damage can weaken hair, causing dryness, brittleness, and hair loss over time.
Understanding Female Hair Loss of FUE Hair Transplant Candidate
Female pattern hair loss is a progressive condition. This means that over time, women with hair loss may see their condition worsen with a continuously widening part and diffuse thinning overall. To help women understand and categorize their hair loss, air restoration professionals often use the Ludwig Classification Scale. This chart separates female pattern baldness into three grades based on severity:.
Grade II: Pronounced rarefaction of the hair on the crown within the area seen in Grade I.
Grade III: Full baldness (total denudation) within the area seen in Grades I and II.
The signs and symptoms of hair loss in women may include the following:
Diffuse hair thinning over the entire scalp
Widening of central partition of hair
Positive hair-pull test

How Much Hair Transplant Cost in Malaysia
Perhaps the biggest roadblock for people looking into hair transplantation is the fact that, put plainly, it ain’t cheap. How much you’re ultimately going to spend on hair transplant surgery depends largely on where you live, the extent of the procedure, and even the individual surgeon who does the procedure. And because it’s considered cosmetic surgery, insurance typically won’t cover it. That said, a general answer is thousands. In Malaysia a very rough estimate can be anywhere from RM 7,500 to RM20,000, depending on how much graft you need for treatment. You can estimate the average price for hair transplant by using the graft calculator cost:
