Unshaved Hair Transplant

For a lot of people who are thinking about getting hair transplants, the thought of shaving their head might be very scary. Not everyone is willing to get their whole head shaved or even just part of it before surgery, whether it’s because of work, personal taste, or comfort. The Unshaved Hair Transplant is a more advanced method that lets you restore your hair without changing the way you look. We are happy to provide this innovative method at Este Surgery because it gives natural results with the least amount of attention.

What is a Hair Transplant without Shaving?

The Unshaved Hair Transplant, which is also called the No Shave or Long Hair Transplant, is a particular treatment that lets patients get a hair transplant without shaving the area where the hair will be put in. In some situations, the donor area doesn’t even need to be shaved.

In contrast to standard FUE techniques, when the whole scalp or donor area is usually clipped, unshaved methods change the process to keep long hair, making the transplant almost invisible during and just after the procedure.

This method takes a lot more expertise, effort, and personalization, but for the right person, it offers the best seclusion and quick visual consistency.

Different Kinds of Unshaved Hair Transplants

There are three primary types of the Unshaved Hair Transplant method, each of which is better for a different type of patient:

1. Only Shaving the Partial Donor
   This approach merely shaves a little strip of hair in the donor area, which is normally masked by longer hair. The hair around the shaved area hides it from view. The area where the recipient lives is still undisturbed.
2. Shaving only part of the recipient and donor
   Here, you can shave both the donor area and a tiny bit of the recipient zone, but you should do so in a way that hides it behind longer strands. This method is great for moderate coverage while still keeping the operation private.
3. Completely Unshaved (Long Hair Transplant)
   This is the most advanced and complicated variant, in which neither the donor nor the recipient areas are shaved. The hair follicles are taken out and put back in, maintaining the length of the hair the same. People often call it the real no-shave approach.

This method is appropriate for people who simply need a few grafts, such those who want to improve their hairline or temples, and who want to avoid any visible downtime.

How the Process Works

Even though the method changes depending on the type of unshaved transplant, the basic processes are as follows:

• Planning and Consultation
  The medical team looks at the density and texture of your current hair to figure out the best way to discreetly harvest and put grafts.
• Getting Ready for the Donor Area
  Depending on the procedure, a short strip of hair from the donor is shaved or none at all. To avoid patches that are easy to see, you need to be precise.
• Taking Out the Graft
  Micro punches are used to take out follicular units one at a time. The operation is gradual and careful so that the long hair around it doesn’t get hurt.
• Implantation
  The grafts that were taken out are put into the area that needs them without changing the long hair around them. Sapphire FUE and Implanter Plus are two methods that are widely used for implantation. These methods provide you the most control and the most natural results.

Advantages of an Unshaved Hair Transplant

There are several good reasons to choose an unshaved hair transplant. The best thing about this is that patients can go back to work or their social life without anyone knowing they had surgery. Since your long hair stays in place, there is no time when the shaved region needs to grow back.

Patients feel better and more confident after surgery, and they don’t have to explain why they look so different. Celebrities, business people, and those who work with the public generally prefer this strategy since it is private. You can change the technique to fit the length, style, and daily life of your hair.

Things to Keep in Mind

Unshaved hair transplant offers several evident benefits, but it’s not right for every patient:

• Not Good for Big Transplants
  The process takes a long time and works best for little sessions (1,000 to 2,000 grafts).
• More Expensive
  Because they are more complicated and take longer, unshaved treatments usually cost more than standard FUE.
• More Time for the Operation
  Having long hair makes the extraction and implantation process take longer and be more careful.
• Needs a lot of surgical skill
  Not all clinics offer this method since it needs a skilled team that knows how to handle lengthy hair during transplanting.

Before moving further, we at Este Surgery thoroughly consider whether this strategy is the best fit for your needs and goals.

Getting Better and Taking Care of Yourself After

One of the best things about this method is that it makes healing easier:

• Mild redness or swelling that usually goes away in a few days and is usually disguised by long hair.
• Scabs Are Less Noticeable
  Because of the hair that is already there, it’s harder to see scabs in the area where the hair is being added.
• How to Wash
  You’ll get step-by-step instructions on how to clean your scalp without bothering the grafts.
• Shock Loss
  You should expect some temporary hair loss, but over the next few months, new hair will come in to replace it.

Patients will have full regrowth in 6 to 12 months, and their appearance won’t change over that time.
