Types of Unshaved Hair Transplant

These unshaven hair transplantation types are divided into 3. These are; completely unshaven hair transplantation, limited donor area hair transplantation and shaved donor area, unshaven hair recipient area hair transplantation types.

Shaved Donor Area, Unshaven Recipient Area Hair Transplant

In the shaved donor area, unshaven recipient area technique, the hair in the donor area is shaved so that the hair can be collected more easily. However, the hair in the recipient area is not shaved in order to prevent the appearance of scars in the area to be transplanted and to make it unclear that hair transplantation has been performed. For this reason, this technique is called shaved donor area, unshaven recipient area transplantation technique. This highly preferred method, contrary to popular belief, takes a very short time.

Limited Shaved Donor Area Hair Transplant

In this frequently preferred method, the hair in the donor area is shaved. In this procedure, a few hair strands are removed while shaving. In this way, hair follicle removal is limited and the scars in the donor area are camouflaged. And the person has no worries about this

Completely Unshaven Hair Transplant

In this hair transplantation process, which is both very popular and has much more scars, the hair is not shaved in any way and is not shaved at the time of hair collection. In this technique, which requires a lot of attention and skill, the transplantation of the hair is not understood in any way because the existing hair in the transplantation area camouflages and hides the newly transplanted hair and possible scars.

Unshaven Hair Transplant Surgery Process in Turkey

First Meeting

The preliminary interview, which is the first step in unshaved hair transplantation procedures, is a situation that largely determines the process. In this step, the person states his/her wishes and needs and expresses his/her expectations from the operation. Accordingly, the physician analyzes the hair follicles in detail and in depth. Thus, it is decided whether the roots are suitable for unshaven hair transplantation. Afterwards, the operation preparations are made accordingly.

Preliminary Preparations

After the preliminary meeting, detailed operation plans are made. Preliminary preparations are made in line with these plans. For this, a number of tests are performed on the patient. These tests are blood test, urine test and local anesthesia tests. After the tests, preparations for surgery are completed by considering the general condition of the patient.

First Steps

As a result of all the analyzes and tests, the first steps are taken for unshaven hair transplantation. Local anesthesia or sedation is usually applied to the patient. For the person under local anesthesia or sedation, the procedure is performed according to the appropriate unshaven hair transplantation technique. First of all, hair follicles are collected and transplanted to the recipient area. During the transplantation, the donor area and the recipient area are not completely shaved.

Disadvantages of Unshaven Hair Transplant Treatment

As with all procedures, unshaven hair transplantation treatment also has disadvantages. Although these disadvantages do not appear in everyone, they are very short-lived disadvantages. These disadvantages are as follows:

• The process takes longer than normal hair transplantation techniques. The main reason for this is that the hair is transplanted without shaving. For this reason, hair follicles cannot be seen comfortably and the transplantation process is prolonged.
• Hair transplantation cannot be performed in people with severe hair loss. Because a certain number of grafts is required for this.

What are the Differences Between FUE and U-FUE (Unshaven) Hair Transplantation?

Although Fue and U-fue hair transplantation are very similar to each other, they have certain fundamental differences. We can list these main differences as follows;

Shaving Process

The main difference between the two techniques is whether or not the hair is shaved during hair transplantation. In the FUE procedure, the hair is often subjected to minimal shaving in the area to be harvested, while in the U-FUE method, the hair can be harvested and placed without shaving. This allows U-FUE to cause less visible aesthetic changes.

Processing Time

When we consider both techniques in terms of the duration of the procedure, we can observe that the U-FUE method has a slightly longer transplantation time. The reason for this is that more attention and time is allocated when collecting hair follicles since the hair is not shaved. However, this is not the case with the FUE hair transplantation technique since the hair is shaved.

More Labor

When we consider the Fue and U-Fue hair transplantation technique in terms of labor, unshaven hair transplantation may require more labor than the transplantation phase. Because hair transplant specialists do not scrape the hair during the procedure, they have to work much harder when removing and placing the roots. But this is not the case with the Fue procedure. Because hair transplant specialists scrape the recipient and donor area before starting the procedure.

Recovery Process

The recovery process is similar between FUE and U-FUE, but in U-Fue hair transplantation technique, due to minimal shaving or no shaving, a less rapid recovery can be observed after the procedure. In FUE, on the contrary, a slightly slower recovery can be observed after the procedure.

Aesthetic Appearance

When we consider both procedures in terms of aesthetic appearance, in the U-FUE procedure, since there is no shaving, the patient gets the appearance as if he/she has not had a hair transplant. In the FUE procedure, it can be understood that the patient has had a hair transplant because the shaving is done. However, as the hair grows over time, a natural appearance can still be achieved.

Possible scarring after hair transplantation makes me uneasy. For this reason, I am hesitant to have a hair transplant. What should I do for this?

In general, possible scars can be seen in hair transplantation techniques. The reason for this is shaving before the procedure.

I want to have a fast recovery process after the hair transplant operation. Is there an alternative method for this?

Hair transplantation procedures are generally long processes. However, this is not the case with unshaven hair transplantation. Because the hair is not shaved, an easier and faster healing process can be observed. For this reason, you can speed up your healing process by having a U-FUE procedure.
