Hair loss affects millions of people worldwide and can have a profound impact on self-esteem and confidence. Whether caused by genetics, hormonal changes, or other factors, modern hair transplant surgery offers a permanent, natural-looking solution. At Royal Cosmetic Centre, our experienced surgical team performs advanced hair restoration procedures in our fully equipped hospital facility in Bali — combining medical precision with genuine care.
Surgical / Procedure Name
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant
Common Name
Hair Transplant
The Procedure
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the most advanced and widely adopted technique in modern hair restoration. Individual hair follicles are carefully harvested one by one from the donor area — typically the back and sides of the scalp where hair growth is permanent — using a precise micro-punch instrument. Because no strip of tissue is removed, there are no linear scars and recovery is significantly faster compared to older methods.
Once harvested, the follicular units are prepared and implanted into the recipient area at precisely controlled angles and depths. This attention to detail is what determines the natural appearance of the final result — the direction, density, and distribution of the transplanted grafts are all designed to complement your existing hair and facial structure. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and is well tolerated, with most patients comfortable throughout.
Duration
4 – 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts required (performed in a single session)
Anaesthetic
Local anaesthetic — you remain awake and comfortable throughout the procedure
Pre Operative Care
Prior to your procedure, our team will conduct a thorough scalp assessment to evaluate follicle density, donor supply, and the extent of hair loss. Please inform your surgeon of any medications you are currently taking, including blood thinners, supplements, or prescription drugs, as some may need to be paused before surgery.
Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before your procedure and refrain from smoking for at least two weeks prior, as both can impair healing and graft survival. Do not cut or shave your hair in the days leading up to surgery unless specifically advised to do so by your surgeon.
Post Operative Care
In the days following your procedure, some mild swelling, redness, and scabbing around the transplanted area is normal and expected. You will be provided with detailed aftercare instructions, including how to wash your scalp and when to resume normal activities. Most patients are comfortable returning to light work within 3 – 5 days.
Transplanted hairs will naturally shed within the first few weeks — this is a completely normal part of the process. New growth typically begins to appear from around three months, with the majority of results visible by 9 – 12 months. Final density and thickness continue to improve for up to 18 months post-procedure.
Local Support in Australia
For added peace of mind, pre-surgery consultations and post-surgery follow-ups are available in Australia through a registered hair transplant specialist and medical support team. This means you are fully supported before you fly and after you return home — providing the continuity of care that makes your recovery straightforward and reassuring.
