Get • .official Who should perform hair transplant surgery in the UK?

Only GMC-registered and licensed doctors should perform Hair Transplant Surgery (HTS) in the UK.

This includes:
- Making skin incisions to harvest hair via Strip FUT
- Making recipient site incisions with a blade, needle, sharp implanter, or other device
- Making donor site incisions for FUE
⚠️ Even when using robotic-assisted technology for FUE, a GMC-licensed doctor must be present and in control of the device at all times. Running the robot must not be delegated to a non-doctor.

These rules are outlined in:
- The Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority (CPSA) standard for HTS (page 14)
- The guidance reflects the position of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS)

What can non-doctors do?
- Assist the doctor
- Extract FUE grafts after a doctor has made the incision
- Process and implant grafts using tools that do not cut the skin (like blunt implanters or forceps)

Posted • .official As part of our ongoing work to highlight the importance of education in hair transplant surgery, BAHRS has been featured in the press.

‘Experts have urgently warned a growing number of ‘black market’ hair transplant procedures are taking place in the UK, carried out by rogue unlicensed technicians with no medical degree.

These alleged botched procedures have left men who did ‘too little research’ with extensive scarring, psychological distress and disfigurement, according to the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery (BAHRS).’

Head to our press highlight for the full story.

Posted • .official With National hair Loss Awareness Month beginning in just 9 days, it’s a great opportunity to highlight the dangers of non-doctors performing hair transplant surgery.

Yes, a hair transplant is surgery - it involves skin incisions. Incisions, even those undertaken by robotic devices, should only be performed by licensed physicians.

It is crucial to check the credentials of the professional who will be performing your surgery before you go ahead.
