The Hair Transplant Surgery

Before surgery, Dr Alam personally consults with each patient to ensure the hairline and overall design aligns with the patients anatomy and individual expectations. Every angle and proportion is carefully measured and refined, with multiple checks to confirm balance and symmemetry.

Nothing proceeds until you’ve had the opportunity to review and approve the final design-crafted in collaboration with you, and tailored to suit your natural features.

On the day of your procedure, your hair will be trimmed short and the area will be thoroughly disinfected. While some clinics may avoid shaving to appeal cosmetically, at Hair Transplant Australia we prioritise surgical cleanliness and infection control as a non-negotiable part of our medical standard.

We understand that shaving can be a concern for some patients, but it plays a vital role in ensuring the best possible outcome and graft survival. Our team will walk you through every step to make the process as comfortable and clear as possible.

During the extraction phase, Dr Alam uses cutting-edge Japanese technology to carefully remove individual grafts from the donor area – typically located at the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically permanent and most resistant to thinning. Each graft is delicately removed using a fine, 0.8mm punch, creating tiny circular incisions.

During this phase, Dr Alam creates recipient sites in the area where the grafts will be placed for the hairline. These sites are made by Dr Alam where he determines the angle, direction and depth. Dr Alam uses a 19g needle placed into a depth controller that he uses to make each individual site by hand.

Our senior implant technicians, Zoe and Jayde, begin the implantation process by carefully placing single hair grafts into the hairline incisions created by Dr Alam using angled forceps. This meticulous technique is done to place single haired grafts into the hairline to imitate how they occur in a natural hairline, when done using forceps Dr Alam can make the sites extremely close together, this is important for the hairline.

Once the hairline is complete Dr Alam takes over using the INRUT Implanter to perform the remainder of the transplant, ensuring to follow the correct angles and direction of the natural flow of the existing hair. The INRUT Implanter is a multi-rotating device designed to implant follicles directly into the scalp.

At Hair Transplant Australia, we utilise both manual and Intrut Implanter techniques for their unique benefits. Manual implantation is ideal for tightly packed single hair grafts at the hairline. The INURT Implanter, on the other hand, offers speed and precision—making it the preferred choice for implanting grafts into larger recipient areas.

By 12 months post procedure, most patients will see their final results. The transplanted follicles will have completed a full growth cycle.  For most patients, initial shedding or texture changes experienced in the recovery period will have stabilised, allowing you to cut and style your hair as desired.

Dr Alam, our highly qualified Hair Transplant doctor, has performed thousands of FUE procedures in both Australia and Dubai, treating individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. Every step of your journey is overseen by a highly experienced medical team committed to natural-looking outcomes.
