Hair Transplant without shaving is a method that is preferred mostly by women or by those who do not want to leave their social lives. In this technique only the donor area is shaved. Grafts are harvested from the donor area and then transplanted into the recipient area which remains unshaven. This method is getting more popular especially amongst women who can cover their shaved donor area with the rest of their long hair.

 

Unshaven Hair Transplant

Hair transplant without shaving is a method that has been developed to increase patient’s comfort especially after hair transplant. As only the donor area is shaved, it is an alternative for those who would like to keep their hair long. The main principle is the same, grafts are harvested one by one and are implanted into the recipient area one by one.

Hair transplant without shaving carries more risks compared to normal FUE and DHI techniques. For this reason not every candidate is suitable for this method. After your consultation with your hair transplant doctor, you can find out whether you are a good candidate or not. It is essential to have a medical supervision by a doctor during the operation.

 

How do unshaven hair transplants work?

In an unshaven hair transplant, only the donor area is shaved. The main method is the same as a traditional FUE hair transplant. Grafts are implanted into the recipient area one by one. During this process, it is recommended to use Sapphire blades in order to provide a higher density implantation. Unshaven hair transplant should be planned and supervised by experienced medical doctors.

In order to keep up with their social lives, some candidates prefer this method. However, it is inevitable to experience shock loss in the 2th-4th weeks. This process just as in a traditional FUE hair transplant, is followed by the regrowth of the implanted grafts after 6th week.

 

What are the advantages of unshaven hair transplantation?

  • As the recipient area is not shaved, patients can have an idea about the results sooner.
  • Rednesses on the recipient area are less noticeable after hair transplant.
  • It is not quite noticeable that the patient did a hair transplant unless looked very closely.
  • Women do not need to shave their long hair.
 

What are the disadvantages of unshaven hair transplantation?

  • In this method, the success rate is quite low unless the medical staff and the doctor is well experienced.
  • It is not quite possible to transplant high amounts of grafts. Overall 2000-2500 grafts can be transplanted.
  • During the shock loss period it is likely to have a less pleasant appearance than a normal FUE transplant.
  • Washing the hair is much more difficult than a normal hair transplant.
  • As the implantation is performed in between the existing hair, the possibility of damaging them is higher.
  • Post operative hair care is much more important and it should be more delicate compared to a normal hair transplant.
  • It is more costly than a traditional hair transplant.
 

Who is suitable for unshaven hair transplantation?

  • It is not recommended for those who have high density of existing hair and need high amount of grafts.
  • Those who do not need high amounts of grafts can have an unshaven hair transplant.
  • Post operative hair care is much more difficult in an unshaven hair transplant. It is not recommended for anyone that is not willing to take good care of their hair.

Long Hair Transplant

In a long hair transplant operation, donor area is not shaved. Donor hair at a certain length are harvested and then implanted into the recipient area with DHI technique. It is mostly preferred by women but the success rate is lower in this method than a traditional hair transplant because of lower survival rate of the grafts. For this reason it is essential that a well experienced hair transplant doctor plans and supervises such operation.

 

How do long hair transplants work?

In this technique donor area is not shaved at all. They are harvested long and implanted in the recipient area at the same length. In the implantation phase, DHI implanter pens are used in order to implant them without damaging them. Usually this method is used for diffuse hair loss in order to increase the overall density by implanting in between existing hair.

 

What are the advantages of long hair transplantation?

  • As the recipient area is not shaved, patients can have an idea about the results sooner.
  • The longer the hair is, the harder the harvesting phase is in a long hair transplant. Ideally the hair should be at 4-5cm length.
  • During the healing phase most of the redness cannot be seen because the rest of the hair covers it.
  • At early stages it is not quite possible to notice the hair transplant unless looked very carefully.
  • As the donor area is left with long hair, it is possible to cover the extraction scars right after the operation.
 

What are the disadvantages of long hair transplantation?

  • In this method, the success rate is quite low unless the medical staff and the doctor is well experienced.
  • It is not quite possible to transplant high amounts of grafts. Overall 1500-2000 grafts can be transplanted.
  • During the shock loss period it is likely to have a less pleasant appearance than a normal FUE transplant until the 3rd month.
  • Washing the hair after hair transplant is much more difficult than a normal hair transplant.
  • As the implantation is performed in between the existing hair, the possibility of damaging them is higher. This causes a lower survival rate of grafts.
  • Post operative hair care is much more important and it should be more delicate compared to a normal hair transplant.
  • It is more costly than a traditional hair transplant.
 

Who is suitable for long hair transplantation?

  • It is not recommended for those who have high density of existing hair and need high amount of grafts.
  • Those who do not need high amounts of grafts can have an unshaven hair transplant.
  • Post operative hair care is much more difficult in an unshaven hair transplant. It is not recommended for anyone that is not willing to take good care of their hair.
