FUE hair transplant

The FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) method is currently the newest and most sophisticated hair transplantation method in the world.

By harvesting individual hair follicles (grafts), we eliminate the formation of a linear scar, as was the case after treatments with the older FUT hair transplant method (known as strip). We also perform Corrections of failed hair transplants from other clinics.

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) refers to the second part of the procedure, which is the method of implanting the hair follicles that were previously taken.

A specially designed tool is used to implant the follicle (graft) at the desired angle and direction.

These are the key elements to make the hair after the hair transplantation procedure grow naturally and naturally set. Of course, the tool alone does not guarantee a natural look. The doctor’s knowledge and many years of experience make it possible to achieve such an effect, and the tool makes the work easier and faster.

Implants, like robots and other “revolutionary” hair harvesting machines, are just a tool that in inexperienced hands may not produce the intended results.

It should also be noted that robots (and others) do not transplant hair or even harvest hair. A robot-type tool performs 1 step of the 4 steps in hair transplantation, that is, they incise the epidermis around the hair follicle.

Hair transplant procedures at Kierach Medical Clinic are performed by
Dr. Artur Kierach and
Dr. Jakub Szczudlik. Professionally, they only deal with hair transplantation therefore they have already performed several thousand procedures each. The entire procedure, i.e. follicle harvesting, hairline design and follicle implantation is performed entirely by the doctor!

Also in Poland, you can find facilities where medical procedures (surgical hair transplantation) are performed by people without medical education. It is worth considering here whether we would also entrust a nose surgery or appendectomy to someone without medical education?

Experience the basis for a successful hair transplant procedure
Practices such as entrusting a hair transplant to a person without medical training are illegal in Europe, but it is worth being aware that such practices exist. Always ask who will perform your procedure and whether it is a doctor with a License to Practice. Keep in mind that only an experienced doctor involved in such a procedure can correctly advise on the choice of method, taking into account the patient’s expectations and the technical possibilities available. The principle of hair restoration is to ensure that the effect of the procedure is as permanent as possible. The use of certain medications helps to preserve hair, but what if the hair has already fallen out? It is no secret that the most resilient and durable are those on the back and sides of the head. This can be clearly seen on the Norwood hair loss scale

Based on this knowledge, they began to try to move these strong hairs to areas where patients no longer have them, which is usually the front of the head with the corners and the top of the head. And that’s why the back of the head and the sides is the so-called donor area, because it “gives” the hair.

It is from these areas that the surgeon takes hair follicles. The first hair transplants involved cutting out a hairy piece of skin and sewing it into a hairless area.

A more natural look was achieved only after the Strip method was invented. The latest method, which is the least invasive and leaves no visible traces of the procedure, is the FUE hair transplant method. In this case, individual hair follicles are harvested, without the use of a scalpel. Hair transplantation is a method of permanent restoration of scalp hair. Hair that is taken from the back of the head and the sides is more resistant to hair loss (note that people who have lost their hair still have a lot of it on the back and sides of the head). Using this knowledge, we can transfer these “strong” and permanent ones to areas that need hair thickening or restoration.

The FUE method does not require a scalpel or suturing of the skin, so there are no visible traces of the male hair restoration procedure.

The follicles are extracted one by one with a 0.8 – 1.0mm diameter instrument. Such a procedure is labor- and time-consuming, but at the same time less invasive than the FUT (strip) procedure, which reduces the number of possible complications, shortens recovery time, and can be repeated as early as 6 months after the last procedure. If you are interested in FUE hair transplantation in Wroclaw or Warsaw, please see our offer. For more information about these procedures, please contact us.

The majority of patients opting for hair transplants or hairline lowering, in Poland, are men who want to improve their appearance, and thus their well-being.
The majority of patients opting for hair transplants or hairline lowering, in Poland, are men who want to improve their appearance, and thus their well-being.

Setting expectations for the results of a hair transplant at the outset is in the interest of both the patient and the doctor. It facilitates the selection of an appropriate surgical method and a satisfactory distribution of harvested follicles.

The primary reasons why patients opt for a hair transplant procedure are a sense of premature aging due to hair loss and lowered self-esteem. Many men do not admit that baldness is a problem for them and causes negative emotions. However, it affects their self-esteem, the way they view themselves in society, among friends, family and peers. Premature hair loss can be particularly acute for those who feel young in spirit, resulting in a sense of incompatibility between appearance and mood. Another group of men feel that their lack of hair is beginning to define them.

That’s why many people opt for a hair transplant procedure. The patient and the doctor must jointly choose an appropriate method of the procedure that meets the patient’s expectations and gives the doctor the opportunity to meet those expectations. Patients who have unrealistic expectations for the procedure must be presented with real, viable options for hair thickening. In men, the possibilities are most often limited by the quality of the area from which the hair is taken. If, for example, the area is also thinning, it will be impossible to recreate dense scalp hair. The doctor performing the procedure, is limited by the potential of the patient’s donor area.

Factors affecting the treatment
Patient’s age
Male pattern baldness is a progressive process. Hair transplantation procedures are planned differently for young people, in whom the possibility of progressive hair loss must be taken into account, and differently for people over 50, in whom hair loss is very often stabilized at a certain level.
Type of baldness
The evolution of hair loss in men/women and the possible need for subsequent hair restoration by hair transplantation should be taken into account. If hair loss began at an early age, drug therapy should be considered before deciding on a hair transplant.
Cases of baldness in the family
The type of baldness in the immediate family can give a general picture of possible scenarios. We are not clones of our parents, but the pattern of hair loss in the family can suggest how hair loss will progress.
Hair type
Thickness, color or type also need to be considered when planning hair thickening and transplantation procedures. For example, thick and slightly curly hair gives the effect of better coverage.
Past treatments
A strip hair transplant, which is the cutting of a piece of skin from the back of the head, significantly limits the possibility of taking a large number of individual follicles.
Financial issues
For some patients, the issue of the cost of the procedure is a secondary concern. However, most are looking for a good solution at a reasonable price.

Course of the hair transplant procedure

1. medical consultation

At the very beginning, it is necessary to determine the cause of hair loss and assess the risk of the process proceeding. Treatment methods are chosen differently for very young people (18+), and differently for people in their thirties. This is a consultation for a medical procedure so you are assured that you will be consulted by a doctor.

The consultation can be done in Warsaw, Wroclaw or via the form. Once other methods have been ruled out, hair transplantation should be considered and the right method selected. The initial consultation can also take place via the Internet. This is a convenient form of private consultation. Based on the photos sent, I make a preliminary assessment of the scope of the procedure needed, the quality of the donor area and an approximate price. At the end, I send proposals for comprehensive solutions tailored to your case.

2. preparation for the procedure

When a patient decides to undergo a hair transplant procedure, the next step is a visit to the clinic and a thorough evaluation of the donor area. This is when the final hair restoration, including the front hairline, is proposed.

The doctor takes a thorough history and completes the medical history. Blood laboratory tests are ordered, and photographic documentation is taken.

3. hair transplantation procedure

Hair transplantation is a medical procedure performed on an outpatient basis. At Kierach Medical Clinic, it is the doctor who performs the entire procedure, from consultation to retrieval to implantation of the hair follicles.

The FUE method allows individual micrografts to be taken immediately from the donor area. Assistants group them according to the number of hairs in 1 micrograft – usually 1-4 hairs. Learn more in the FUE method section.

4. healing

After the hair transplant procedure, the patient receives detailed post-operative instructions along with a discharge.

Each point is discussed to leave no doubt. You can return to normal activity the next day, except for intense exercise, which should be avoided for 2 weeks from the day of surgery.

After a hair transplant

What to expect from an FUE hair transplant?

First night after hair transplant

The donor and recipient area will be reddened.

The donor area will show small red holes where the hair follicles were taken. They will heal within 2-3 days.

Pain after FUE hair transplantation is very rare. If it does occur, mild painkillers usually help.

Do not touch the recipient area on the first night.

One should sleep with a small molded pillow so that it does not touch the area where the hair follicles are implanted.

On the evening after the procedure, avoid consuming alcohol. There may be interactions with prescribed medications or those taken during the procedure.

Day 1

The redness or pink discoloration in the recipient and donor areas will begin to fade. There will be some scabs on the scalp, which will fall off within 5 days.

Do not touch the transplanted hair follicles.

Days 2-4

Slight bruising or pink discoloration and scabs may still be visible in the graft and donor area. These will fade gradually in the first week after the procedure.

Swelling on the forehead and around the eyes appears on the 2nd or 3rd day after the procedure, reaches maximum intensity on the 4th day, and then gradually disappears. Medication is usually given to reduce swelling.

Avoid touching, scratching and rubbing the transplanted follicles. They will be stronger after 4 days and then you will not be able to pull them out of the skin by accidental touch.

Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. Sunburn can affect skin pigmentation and can also damage transplanted hair.

Days 5-7

The recipient area: The follicles have already fused with the skin enough that they cannot be removed by rubbing or pulling. If you still have scabs, you can now wash your head by rubbing harder to remove them.

Donor area: on the 7th day, most patients no longer have any traces of the procedure in the donor area.

Itching: Slight itching and mild burning at this stage is a sign of healing.

You can leave the shampoo longer on the transplanted follicles (2 to 5 minutes) so that the scabs become softer and wash off within 5 days.You can leave the shampoo longer on the transplanted follicles (2 to 5 minutes) so that the scabs become softer and wash off within 5 days.

Moisturizing the scalp will help deal with itching.

Weeks 2-4

Hair follicles enter the resting phase and begin to lose their hair shafts.

Some patients may notice pimple-like lesions in the donor and recipient areas. They usually disappear without any intervention.

Don’t panic if you start losing your transplanted hair. Continue to wash your hair as you did before. You can cut your hair into any style you like.

Avoid exposure to sunlight.

Months 2-4

Transplanted hair is starting to grow. The thin and sparse hair will grow longer and thicker over the coming months.

Some patients may experience thinning of existing hair, which is called shock loss – then everything will return to normal.

Treat your scalp and hair normally. Wash as usual.

Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Months 4-6

The newly grown hair becomes more visible, longer and thicker.

We schedule patients for an appointment 6 months after the procedure, when most of the new hair should have grown out.

If you go out in the sun use a head covering. If you can’t wear a hat, use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher for several months after treatment.

Months 6-12

The transplanted hair continues to grow and become thicker and longer, so you can style it any way you want.

You may begin to see changes in the texture of the hair; new hair becomes thick, and then normal hair begins to grow.

Months 12-18

You can see the final result of the hair transplant.

Congratulations on the change of a lifetime. Enjoy your new hair!

The benefits of this method are:

Shorter healing time

Skin regeneration and preparation for FUE

Faster regrowth of transplanted hair

Strengthening of weaker hair

Inhibition of hair loss

FUE FAQ

Patients interested in hair transplantation have many questions, starting with what FUE is, what the procedure is like and how long the results last. We have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions about FUE and hope they will help explain the procedure to you.

Who performs the procedure? The doctor or the technician?
According to the current law in Poland and the EU, medical procedures and surgeries can only be performed by a doctor. At Kierach Medical Clinic we are committed to the highest standards so you are assured that the entire procedure will be performed by a doctor. Follicle collection, hairline design and follicle implantation will be performed entirely by a doctor, not a technician or assistant with unknown training.
Can a hair transplant be performed by a technician?
No. Medical procedures involve the risk of complications, and only a medically trained person can respond to unforeseen situations. During the procedure, medications are used (medications legally can only be prescribed by a doctor), which can cause allergic reactions or other unexpected side effects. The only person with knowledge of how to react in such situations is the doctor. Always ask who will be performing the procedure to ensure that your health is not compromised. Because would you choose to have your nose operated on by a technician instead of a doctor?
Will I get a hair transplant guarantee?
Medicine is a field in which there are no “for sure”, “100%”, “always” statements. Every body is different and may react differently to standard treatment. Exactly as in the case of, for example, paracetamol (a popular painkiller) will statistically eliminate a headache in the vast majority of cases, but will cause a rash, abdominal pain or nausea in a small proportion of patients. The human body is not a machine for which a guarantee can be given, but a complex living organism with countless genetic combinations that can affect the body’s response to drugs or treatments. If the hair follicles are harvested in the right way, stored in the right conditions, and if the follicles are not damaged during implantation, it is very likely that the hair will grow back properly. At Kierach Medical Clinic, however, we guarantee that the procedure is performed by experienced doctors, in accordance with the latest knowledge and standards, and with attention to the patient’s welfare.
How does FUE work?
This involves taking each hair follicle separately with a 0.8-1.0mm diameter tool. As a result, there is no need to sew the skin and no visible linear scars after the procedure.
Is the FUE-DHI procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so neither the harvesting of hair follicles nor their implantation is painful.
What are the advantages of FUE?
Advantages include the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, short healing time (about 7 days), and the ability to achieve a natural look.
Do scars remain after FUE?
The FUE method does not require cutting out a piece of skin and thus no sewing of the skin so there are no linear scars like after the older FUT (so-called strip) method.
Who is the ideal candidate for FUE?
People with stabilized alopecia, without inflammation of the scalp with a large amount of hair in the donor area (back and sides of the head).
Is it possible to transplant hair in women as well?
Of course it does.
What is the maximum density with which hair can be implanted?
Everyone is born with a certain density of follicles per cm2. In order to restore the hair and achieve a natural look, the patient’s natural density must be mimicked (the whole thing should look uniform with the hair not transplanted). This is due to the skin’s ability to supply the follicles with blood vessels. Implanting “by force” too many hair follicles per cm2 will result in some follicles not surviving – they will not be supplied with blood and will die.
How much does an FUE cost?
The price depends on the extent of the procedure. We encourage you to use the consultation form – in response you will receive a preliminary treatment plan and an estimate of the cost.
Do I need to prepare specially before the procedure?
Blood clotting-lowering drugs and minoxidil, if used, should be discontinued. Some basic blood tests should also be performed.
How much time do I need to recover from FUE?
Most patients reserve 4-7 days for recovery after the procedure. Small FUE wounds heal within 3-6 days, but this depends on each person’s predisposition. Do you want to learn more about what to expect after an FUE procedure? Visit the After Transplant page.
Can I drive on my own after the procedure?
Yes. Local anesthesia does not interfere with consciousness.
Is it possible to be too young for a hair transplant?
If hair loss affects people at a young age (18+), the process of hair loss should first be stopped pharmacologically. After this stage, the hair can be transplanted. Transplantation can also be done in younger patients if the hair loss is due to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, trauma, etc.
Is it possible to transplant gray hair?
The color of the hair is irrelevant in terms of its survival and growth potential. Picking up gray hairs is technically more difficult because short hairs are not as visible in the strong light of the treatment lamp, but an experienced doctor is able to pick up gray hairs without a problem.
