Who is this For?

Autologous Skin Micrografting for androgenetic alopecia is a breakthrough treatment to address androgenetic alopecia — the most common cause of hair loss in men and women today.

Safe and clinically tested in multiple robust studies, this treatment uses the patient’s own scalp tissues (autologous micrografts), which are injected into thinning or balding areas. This activates dormant hair follicles by harnessing the body’s innate regenerative abilities, stimulating hair growth. Since the cells come from the patient’s own scalp, there is no risk of tissue rejection, sensitivity, or allergic reaction.

What is the Procedure Like?

Before treatment, our doctors will first assess if your hair loss condition is suitable for autologous skin micrografting for androgenetic alopecia. The procedure can be broken down into three phases:

Harvest

Your doctor will analyze your scalp for healthy sites that can provide the best samples. Once identified, the area is shaved and local anaesthesia is administered before the samples are retrieved. Great care is taken to ensure that the sample site will recover smoothly.

Extraction

A specialised tool is used to process scalp tissue samples into an injectable suspension of regenerative cells, which are then prepared for injection.

Injection

Your doctor carefully deposits the suspension into thinning or balding areas through multiple, small injections.

The whole procedure typically takes up to 45 minutes.

This procedure is performed by our doctors who are registered with the Singapore Medical Council.

What Results Can I Expect?

Gradual improvements in hair quality, density and coverage across the scalp can be observed as early as one month after treatment; with evaluation studies showing continued hair growth benefits up till a year and more! As samples are taken from your own scalp, there is no risk of adverse effects or bad reactions.

Hair growth results may vary across individuals.

Is There Any Downtime After My Treatment?

There is no downtime associated with Autologous Skin Micrografting for Androgenetic Alopecia, although patients should take care to ensure that sample sites do not get infected while they heal.
