Overview
What is an Unshaven Hair Transplant?
An unshaven (no-shave) hair transplant lets you have an FUE procedure while keeping your existing hair at its normal length. Instead of shaving the whole head, the surgeon either works through your long hair or shaves only tiny, hidden sections of the donor area that your surrounding hair completely conceals. The recipient area is left unshaven so new grafts are placed among your current hair. The big advantage is discretion: there are no obvious signs that you have had anything done, making it popular with professionals and anyone who cannot take time off. It is more time-intensive and best for small to medium sessions. Our experienced teams perform it under local anaesthesia in accredited Istanbul clinics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about Unshaven Hair Transplant
Talk to a CoordinatorThat is the whole point — with no shaving of the recipient area and hidden donor sections, there are no obvious signs.
Yes, most patients resume normal life almost immediately, which is why professionals choose this method.
It is best for small to medium sessions; very large areas are usually better served by a shaven FUE for maximum grafts.
It is often slightly higher because it is more delicate and time-intensive, but the discretion is worth it for many patients.
Yes. The transplanted follicles are permanent and grow naturally, just like in a standard FUE.
