Hair loss, especially on the top of the head, can significantly affect your self-confidence and quality of life. FUE hair transplantation is a modern technique that provides a natural effect without the risk of visible scars. The treatment is performed without the use of a scalpel, and the entire process is based on the precise removal of individual follicular units using the “hybrid punch” method. Thanks to advanced equipment and manual work methods, the doctor can maintain the highest quality of transplanted follicles, minimizing the risk of their damage.
Hair follicles are most often harvested from the back of the head, but may be sourced from other areas such as the beard if necessary. After the procedure is completed, the donor sites heal quickly and the patient can return to normal activity after just a few days.
The whole process begins with a consultation with a specialist who assesses the condition of the hair and qualifies the patient for the treatment. After determining the donor and recipient areas and administering local anesthesia, the doctor collects healthy hair follicles. Then they are carefully selected and implanted in the areas affected by baldness, maintaining the natural direction of hair growth. The treatment takes a few hours and is completely painless, and the full effects are visible after about a year.
Thanks to its universality, the FUE method allows not only the reconstruction of hair on the head, but also the reconstruction of hair on the beard, eyebrows and other areas, which makes it an ideal solution for people struggling with various types of baldness.

Such early appearance of baldness may affect self-confidence, well-being and quality of life. Hair transplantation is a permanent solution that allows you to regain the density and natural appearance of your hair, restoring satisfaction with your appearance.
Indications
Hair transplantation is recommended for people struggling with various types of baldness. This applies primarily to those who experience androgenic alopecia, the most common type, manifested by thinning hair on the top of the head and around the forehead. This problem mainly affects men, although it can also occur in women. The treatment is also recommended for people suffering from post-traumatic or scarring alopecia, which may be the result of injuries, burns, surgery or skin diseases leading to scarring and local hair loss.
Hair transplantation is also recommended for people whose hair loss has been caused by excessive stress or autoimmune diseases, because it can effectively restore the natural appearance of the hairstyle. The treatment may be suitable for those who have uneven hair density or localized baldness, such as receding hairlines or thinning on the top of the head. However, the key condition for performing a transplant is to have an appropriate number of healthy hair follicles in the donor area (usually on the back of the head) that can be used for the transplant.
Contraindications
Hair transplantation is not suitable for everyone as there are certain contraindications that may preclude this procedure. One of the main limitations are active scalp diseases, such as psoriasis, mycosis or skin infections. In such cases, it is necessary to undergo dermatological treatment before the procedure to restore the health of the skin. Autoimmune diseases such as lupus or alopecia areata may also be a contraindication.
The body of people affected by these diseases may attack its own hair follicles, which makes it difficult to accept the transplant. Additionally, people with blood clotting disorders or taking anticoagulants should avoid hair transplants unless their health condition is properly prepared. People with chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease may also be at greater risk of complications from the procedure. Before deciding on the procedure, the doctor must carefully analyze the patient’s health condition and make sure that the procedure will be safe for him.
What does the procedure look like?
Hair transplantation is a procedure that allows hair follicles to be transferred from the donor area (usually the back of the head) to thinning areas. The process is as follows:
- Consultation and planning
Before the procedure, the doctor carefully assesses the condition of the hair and the areas requiring transplantation. Planning is key as the number of grafts and the recipient area are determined to achieve the best, natural effect. - Preparation and local anesthesia
On the day of the procedure, the donor and recipient areas are disinfected and the patient receives local anesthesia. Thanks to this, the procedure is comfortable and practically painless (more…) - Graft collection
The doctor extracts individual hair follicles from the donor area using micro-tools that make minimal incisions. The collection is performed using special microscalpels with a diameter of 0.6–0.9 mm, which allows the grafts to be gently removed without leaving visible scars (more…) - Preparation of grafts for implantation
The grafts are then prepared for transplantation and assessed for health and quality. The doctor carefully selects them to guarantee the best possible results. - Implantation of grafts into the recipient area
The grafts are implanted in the target areas, and each follicle is placed at the appropriate angle and depth to reflect the natural direction of hair growth. The precision of this process is crucial for the final appearance of the transplanted hair. - Post-treatment recommendations
After the procedure, the patient receives care instructions, including avoiding touching the transplanted areas, using special preparations and carefully washing the head for the first days (more…)
Effects
Hair transplantation is a way to achieve lasting and spectacular results. Convalescence lasts about 2 weeks – this is time for the wounds to heal. You can enjoy the full results, i.e. new hair growth, after about 12 months.
However, it is worth remembering that the hair will grow back gradually. Hair transplantation provides long-lasting results, so it’s worth the wait for a lush hairstyle. The most important of these, of course, include the regrowth of transplanted hair and the achievement of the target length. Many patients also notice that treated hair is much thicker and shinier.
Why is it worth choosing the FUE method?
Treatments are performed with the support of an experienced surgical team.

Frequently asked questions
In this section you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Is the effect permanent?
Yes, hair transplant is a permanent solution. Transplanted hair is taken from areas that are resistant to the effects of hormones that cause baldness (e.g. the back of the head), so it remains in place throughout life.
Does the procedure hurt?
The procedure is completely painless thanks to the use of local anesthesia. The patient may only feel slight discomfort during anesthesia, but the transplant itself is comfortable.
Does transplanted hair fall out?
After the procedure, the transplanted hair may go through a “shock” phase and fall out temporarily, which is a natural process. However, within a few months they start to grow back and become a permanent part of the hairstyle.
Can the transplant fail?
The risk of not accepting the transplant is minimal, especially when using modern techniques such as FUE. Appropriate preparation, doctor’s experience and compliance with post-treatment recommendations additionally increase effectiveness.
Where is hair transplanted from?
Hair is most often transplanted from the occipital area (back of the head), where it is most resistant to loss. In some cases, hair may be collected from the chin or chest.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, hair transplantation is a safe procedure, provided it is performed by an experienced specialist in a professional clinic. Modern techniques minimize the risk of complications.
Where is the best place to do a transplant?
It is best to perform a hair transplant in a reputable clinic specializing in this type of procedures. The experience of the team, modern equipment and high quality of care are important.
