PolishHave mild to moderate hair loss (Norwood scale II–V)
Hair transplantation is no longer a cosmetic luxury — it is a clinically refined procedure that restores both appearance and confidence. Among the available techniques, FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) has become the gold standard of modern hair restoration. At Vatanmed, we perform FUE transplants with scientific precision, advanced equipment, and a consistent focus on natural, long-lasting results. This method is designed to provide a minimally invasive experience with maximum effectiveness — ideal for individuals who want to address hair thinning or baldness without visible scarring.
Unlike the traditional FUT method (the so-called strip method), which involves removing a strip of scalp, the FUE technique focuses on extracting individual hair follicles one by one from the donor area — usually the back or sides of the head, where hair is genetically resistant to hair loss. These follicular units are then transplanted into the recipient area where hair loss has occurred. The use of micromotors and ultra-thin punch tools (0.6–1.0 mm) enables extremely precise graft extraction without causing significant damage to the surrounding tissues. As a result, the natural appearance of the donor area is preserved, and the healing process is faster, with virtually no visible linear scarring.
Proper preparation is essential for the success of an FUE hair transplant. At Vatanmed, the process begins with a comprehensive consultation that includes a detailed scalp analysis, an assessment of the required number of grafts, and a review of the patient’s medical history. It is recommended to stop smoking and drinking alcohol at least one week before the procedure, as these factors can negatively affect blood circulation and wound healing. Medications and supplements that influence blood clotting, such as aspirin or vitamin E, should be temporarily discontinued under medical supervision.
On the day of the procedure, the scalp should be thoroughly clean, and patients are advised to avoid caffeine to help stabilize blood pressure during the operation. If there is a history of allergic reactions, an allergy test for anesthetic agents may be performed. In addition, we take photographs of the scalp and hairline from multiple angles, allowing the transplant plan to be designed according to facial symmetry and the patient’s individual aesthetic goals.
Zabieg FUE w Vatanmed zazwyczaj wykonywany jest w ciągu jednego dnia i trwa od 6 do 8 godzin, w zależności od liczby graftów. Proces rozpoczyna się od podania znieczulenia miejscowego zarówno w obszarze dawczym, jak i biorczym, co zapewnia komfort i bezbolesny przebieg. Włosy w strefie dawcy są przycinane do kilku milimetrów, aby uzyskać najlepszą widoczność podczas pracy.
Z wykorzystaniem mikrosilników i narzędzi typu punch pobierane są pojedyncze jednostki mieszkowe przy minimalnym wpływie na otaczające tkanki. Nasz zespół dba o to, aby każdy graft zawierał optymalną liczbę włosów (od 1 do 4 w jednej jednostce), w zależności od planowanego miejsca wszczepienia.
Pobrane grafty są przechowywane w specjalnym roztworze hypothermosol lub soli fizjologicznej, aby utrzymać odpowiednie nawodnienie oraz żywotność komórkową w trakcie zabiegu. Ten kluczowy krok pomaga zachować wysoką przeżywalność i jakość graftów przed implantacją.
W obszarze biorczym wykonywane są mikronacięcia (kanały) przy użyciu ostrzy szafirowych lub cienkich ostrzy stalowych w zależności od rodzaju włosów pacjenta oraz oczekiwań dotyczących gęstości. Kąt, głębokość i kierunek kanałów są precyzyjnie dobierane tak, aby odwzorować naturalny wzór wzrostu włosów pacjenta.
Na końcu grafty są wszczepiane do przygotowanych kanałów. Nasi specjaliści dbają o równomierne rozmieszczenie, aby uzyskać gęsty i estetyczny efekt szczególnie w okolicy linii włosów, gdzie kluczowe znaczenie ma naturalna krzywizna oraz miękkość przejścia.
Recovery after an FUE hair transplant is usually mild and fast, especially when patients follow post-operative instructions. During the first few days, mild swelling, redness, and scab formation are normal. Sleeping with the head elevated for 3–5 nights is recommended to reduce swelling. Hair washing typically begins on the third day after the procedure, using a special lotion and a technique carefully explained by our medical team.
Patients should strictly avoid touching or scratching the recipient area. In the first month, so-called shock loss (temporary shedding of transplanted hairs) may occur, which is a natural part of the hair growth cycle. New hair usually begins to grow after about 3 months, visible improvement appears around 6 months, and full results are typically seen after 9–12 months.
Physical activities such as gym workouts, swimming, sauna use, and sun exposure should be limited for at least 2–3 weeks. To support optimal follicle survival and blood vessel regeneration, it is also recommended to reduce alcohol intake, smoking, and excessive caffeine consumption.

FUE Hair Transplant Discover the Vatanmed Experience
I highly recommend the clinic in Warsawa. A professional approach from the very beginning to the end of the procedure, as well as care and follow-up contact afterward. I am 4 months after the transplant and my confidence has returned to the level it was when I had a nice, full, and dense hairline. After a bit of patience, the hair has grown and will continue to grow. I can definitely recommend both the procedure and the clinic.
I sincerely recommend the hair transplant procedure at Vatanmed Clinic. The staff are professional and helpful, with full on-site care. Special thanks to Ms. Lena, who treated me to her pancakes after the procedure :) The photo shows the condition of my hair 11 days after the transplant.

Overall, I rate the procedure, the post-procedure care, and the contact with the clinic positively. The price of the procedure is very attractive compared to the competition. Nearly three weeks after the procedure, everything looks good :) I recommend it.

Every stage of the procedure was explained to me in detail, and the hair transplant itself went smoothly and without any problems.
I have already had my second hair transplant procedure, which was performed at the beginning of January. I remember both procedures very positively. The staff is kind and helpful. The specialist was highly involved in the hair transplant. Unfortunately, I still need to wait a few months for the final results. Greetings to the entire team and thank you for a smoothly performed procedure.
My experience with Vatanmed Clinic from the very first visit was truly excellent. The staff in both Warsaw and Wrocław rose to the occasion. I immediately received a professional consultation where all my questions were answered. I was also informed in detail about the next steps.
