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.
Effects of FUE hair transplant
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.
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?
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.
Hair transplant
Each case is individual and the price of a hair transplant depends on the result you want to achieve, which depends on the type of hair, thickness and amount in the follicle. Therefore, the best way to get an initial quote for the procedure is to fill out an online consultation form and send photos of the back of the head, both sides and the area that needs hair restoration. Photos should be taken in good lighting and clear. Approximate prices:
Curves (depending on the extent of the hair transplant)
Front of the head with restoration of the front (frontal) hairline
The top of the head, known as the crown
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.

Make an appointment for an initial consultation
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.
Course of the hair transplant procedure
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You can see the final result of the hair transplant.
Congratulations on the change of a lifetime. Enjoy your new hair!
