Shave-less FUE Hair Transplantation

Shave-less FUE Hair Transplantation, also known as No-Shave FUE, is a modern technique used in hair restoration surgery. It is a variation of the traditional Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method, where the hair in the donor area is usually shaved to a short length before the procedure.

In Shave-less FUE, the hair in the donor area is not shaved, instead, the hair is trimmed very short, usually at a length of 0.5-1mm, so that the surgeon can access the hair follicles without shaving the entire head. This allows the patient to maintain their current hairstyle and avoid the visible signs of a recent hair transplant surgery.

The procedure begins with the surgeon making small incisions in the donor area, typically at the back of the head. A small punch is then used to extract the hair follicles from the donor area. The extracted hair follicles are then transplanted into the recipient area. The procedure typically takes several hours and is done under local anesthesia.

One of the main benefits of Shave-less FUE Hair Transplantation is that it allows the patient to maintain their current hairstyle and avoid the visible signs of a recent hair transplant surgery. Additionally, it can be more comfortable for the patient as they don’t have to shave their head.

Shave-less FUE Hair Transplantation can also be used for people who want to add density to their existing hair without having to shave their head.

However, Shave-less FUE Hair Transplantation requires a higher level of surgical skill and experience. Additionally, it may be more expensive than the traditional FUE method.

Overall, Shave-less FUE Hair Transplantation is a modern technique that offers several benefits over the traditional FUE method. It can provide a more natural-looking hairline and allows patients to maintain their current hairstyle. However, it is important to consult with a qualified and experienced hair restoration surgeon to determine if this method is the best choice for you.
