Today, hair transplantation technologies have developed faster, methods that do not disconnect the person from social life and whose effect is seen more quickly. Hair is a natural accessory and a part of our body that affects the facial contours of both men and women. In some cases, having a hair transplant can restore your previous appearance. Shaving hair is one of the most common things that patients are afraid of in hair transplantation because it postpones the recovery time and returning to daily life. Have you heard of unshaven hair transplantation, which can save you time and provide a natural look?

What is Unshaven Hair Transplant?

In common hair transplantation methods, the donor area of the patient and the area to be transplanted are shaved beforehand. Some people, especially women, may not want their hair cut. Thinking that you will fall behind in social life, being afraid of prolonging the recovery period, and being afraid of not being able to regain your hair can be shown among the reasons for this situation. With the unshaven hair transplantation technique developed today, it is possible to have hair transplantation without shaving the donor area or by shaving partially. This hair transplantation performed without shaving is called unshaven hair transplantation.

What are the Types of Unshaven Hair Transplant?

You do not need to shave your head to get a hair transplant. An unshaven FUE hair transplant is similar to a standard FUE hair transplant, except that you will have less of your head shaved, if at all, before the procedure. There are several types of unshaven hair transplants, which are listed below:

Hair Transplantation in a Way That Shaving is not Visible

Basically, in people with long hair, it is aimed to take the hair follicles from the donor area between the two ears and place them in the bald area. To perform this method, the person must have long hair and the area to be transplanted must generally be less than 3000 grafts. Here, a strip, square or rectangular area is shaved from the area behind the head and between the two ears. Therefore, long hair closes this area and the patient does not have any problems. Here it is good if the hair length is at least around 8-10 cm.

Hair Transplant without Ever Shaving

For hair transplantation, this method can be applied if the person’s bald area is not large and exhibits a sparse structure. In this method, known as the DHI method, the surgeon collects the hair follicles one by one from the patient’s donor area. Finally, the operation ends when the hair follicles, which are ready for planting, are placed in the area to be planted without any channel opening process. The operation is a method that requires great dedication, time, and patience as hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area and transplanted one by one in the same way. The duration of this procedure is longer than shaved hair transplantation. In addition, in the unshaven hair transplant method, hair follicles can be transplanted to the targeted area much more frequently.

Who is Eligible for Unshaven Hair Transplantation?

Unshaven hair transplantation is generally recommended for people who have regional openness and who need to return to social and business life quickly. Other than that;
• In general, women do not want their hair to be shaved and they are suitable for unshaven hair transplantation because they have long hair.
• People who are patient enough to wait for their transplanted hair to grow back may prefer unshaven hair transplantation because it takes longer for the hair to grow back than FUE methods.

What is the Recovery Time in Unshaven Hair Transplant?

The care and recovery process after an Unshaven hair transplant is similar to that of an FUE hair transplant. Patients who use the unshaven method can return to work sooner, whereas patients who use the standard FUE recovery are advised to wait one week before returning to work. Although the time to resume normal activities is reduced, you should expect some swelling and redness for the first two days following the procedure. For any pain or discomfort, you may be given painkillers.

What are the Advantages of Unshaven Hair Transplant?

Unshaven hair transplantation has numerous advantages. These advantages are as follows:

• The person does not have to wait for their hair to grow back because only a portion of the donor area is shaved.

• People can easily return to their daily lives and jobs after the procedure.

• One of the major benefits of the unshaven hair transplant procedure is that the transplanted hairs are placed to blend with the natural growing features of the existing hair follicles.

• It is a minimally extracted hair transplant with no scalp scarring.

• You will not feel any pain during the procedure because local anesthesia was used.

• You will look more natural after the procedure.
