It was unshaven It is a novel procedure in the field of hair transplantation. The cutting-edge technique involves transplanting strong, permanent hair follicles from the back of the head (donor area) using a special tool and technique that creates the illusion that the donor area has not been shaved. This is done using specific devices so that the overall appearance of the donor area remains complete and "intact". This FUE hair transplant technique is very difficult, requires a lot of patience and great technical skill to achieve, and only a few clinics offer it. The result, however, is a natural, sutureless hairline that looks almost as if no surgery had been performed. This surgery is perfect for those who don't want to change their hairstyle or have little time available to recover.
FUE without shaving does not leave the patient with scars that indicate that a procedure has been performed. This allows the patient to continue with their daily life immediately after surgery. The methods used in unshaven FUE are the same as those used in shaved FUE hair transplantation. However, greater care and technique are required because the doctor must carefully remove strong, healthy hair follicles without disturbing the remaining healthy hair surrounding the donor area.
Maintains a natural-looking hairline.
The donor area is unaffected by the procedure, with no evidence that a procedure has been performed. This increases the patient's self-confidence by being able to enjoy the results of the procedure immediately.
The short recovery period allows the patient to return to their daily life without interruptions. You can wash your hair normally the next day.
The procedure can only be performed for one limited number of grafts (1500-2000 grafts) in one session.
It requires more time compared to Shaven-FUE or shaved FUE
Wounds are harder to care for.
Who is suitable for FUE without shaving?
The procedure is suitable for all genders and ages suffering from hair loss, receding hairline, or baldness.
Patients who require a smaller number of grafts for transplantation or have hair long enough to cover the donor area.
Also for patients who want to avoid having a visible wound or having to shave their head.
How long does FUE last without shaving?
On average, no-shave FUE will take approximately 6-8 hours, depending on the patient's needs. Our goal is to complete the procedure in a timely manner, as grafts must be reimplanted as soon as possible to improve survival rates. In some cases, a patient may need more than one session to cover the desired recipient area. However, this will be discussed in a detailed consultation between our doctors and the patient. Our physician will then develop an ideal management plan after discussing it with the patient to ensure the best possible outcome.
Is no-shave FUE safe and painful?
Unshaven FUE hair transplantation is a new method developed specifically to reduce the amount of trauma caused by cutting the patient's scalp. It allows the patient to perform the procedure without having to shave their hair as well. The patient may wash his or her hair normally the next day. No-shave FUE is performed with a local anesthetic, making it a painless procedure for the patient. However, there are still some risks involved and for patients, which our surgeons will discuss with them before proceeding with the procedure.
