Hair Restoration Singapore | Frances Medical & Aesthetic Clinic

What is it?

Relocating hair, where it's needed most.

Hair restoration covers doctor-assessed approaches to pattern hair loss and thinning, including procedures that relocate hair follicles from a donor area to areas of thinning. Not every cause of hair loss responds the same way, so Dr Gerald Tan begins by understanding the pattern and likely cause of your hair loss before recommending a plan — which may include restoration procedures alone or alongside complementary treatments such as PRP.

How it works

Assessed first, planned around your pattern of loss.

Dr Gerald Tan examines your scalp and discusses your history to understand the likely cause and pattern of hair thinning. Where a restoration procedure is appropriate, hair follicles are carefully relocated from a donor area to thinning areas, with the technique and extent of treatment tailored to you.

What it treats

Who this is designed for.

Pattern hair thinning

Androgenetic hair loss with a donor area still available for relocation.

Receding or thinning hairline

Areas of visible thinning that affect confidence.

Wanting a doctor-assessed cause

Patients who want the underlying cause understood before committing to a procedure.

A longer-term approach

Those looking beyond topical or booster treatments alone.

What to expect

A gradual process, built over months.

Week 1–2

Mild redness or scabbing at treated and donor areas, settling within days to a couple of weeks.

Month 1–3

Relocated follicles typically enter a resting phase before regrowth begins — this early period is normal and expected.

Month 4 onwards

New growth gradually becomes more visible over the following months, with results continuing to develop.

This may be for you if…

Signs it's worth a conversation.

✓ You've noticed thinning or a receding hairline over time
✓ You want the cause assessed before choosing a treatment path
✓ You've tried topical or booster treatments without the results you wanted
✓ You're prepared for a gradual, months-long process rather than an instant change

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Will this work for my type of hair loss?

Not all hair loss responds the same way. Dr Tan assesses the likely cause and pattern first, and will advise honestly if a different approach — or a referral — is more appropriate.

Does it hurt?

Local anaesthesia is used at the treatment area. Most patients find the procedure manageable, with some tenderness afterwards.

What is the downtime?

This depends on the technique used, which is confirmed at consultation. Generally, mild redness or scabbing settles within one to two weeks.

When will I see new growth?

Relocated follicles typically go through a resting phase first, with new growth becoming visible over the following months. Patience is part of the process.

Can this be combined with other treatments?

Yes — some patients combine restoration with treatments like PRP for hair growth as part of a broader plan. Dr Tan will advise on what's appropriate for you.
