This article features Dr Christopher D’Souza, hair transplant surgeon and president of the BAHRS, who says men are drawn in by breezy ads which underplay the risks.

‘Hair transplants may be misconstrued as a cosmetic treatment but they are very much surgery, and professional standards have to be rigorous,’ he adds.

In the UK, surgeons need to be registered with the General Medical Council and operate out of a clinic licensed by the Care Quality Commission. Ideally, a clinic should be a member of a specialist organisations like the BAHRS, and a doctor should always perform the most vital steps, such as making incisions for the new hair.

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)
