What Is Shaveless Hair Transplantation And How Is It Done?

What Is Unshaved Hair Transplantation Operation?

Unshaved hair transplantation is a procedure that becomes one of the most favorite procedures of recent years, with the plastic surgery techniques that develop day by day. In fact, this process is a new and quite safe when we compare to the other methods. This method is generally chosen by the patients who think that a large part of their hair looks bad when shaved in the shaved hair transplantation process, which we know, and therefore avoid the procedure.

The procedure creates a natural appearance for the patients. It also shortens the time required for the patient to continue his social life after the operation. However, this method takes longer than usual shaved hair transplantation and is also more difficult to apply. For this reason, the cost of the operation is also higher. We can say that this method is a reasonable and good opportunity for most patients who are considering hair transplantation.

It is possible for women with long hair and sparse hair to perform hair transplantation without worrying thanks to the unshaved hair transplant procedure.

Although unshaven hair transplantation is frequently demanded by women who do not want to shave their hair, it is also very important for some men. Hair transplantation procedures are generally performed using shaved areas. However, some individuals want their hair to be transplanted without shaving. It has been developed for individuals. Normal hair transplant techniques are used. The only difference is that the operation carries without shaving. It has difficulties for both the patient and the doctor. Unshaved hair transplantation is divided into two parts as hair transplantation and full unshaved hair transplantation. In partial hair transplantation, an area of ​​10 * 5 size is shaved only from the nape area and 1000 – 1500 grafts are removed from this area thanks to regional shaving.

In partial hair transplantation, sparseness can be removed by shaving a small area. However, for intense spills and dilution, either a full shave should be done or the whole process should be continued without shaving. The only difference of unshaved transplantation is that the transplantation process is carried out when the hair remains long without shortening up to number 1. The operation  takes much longer. In full unshaved hair transplants has a higher hair loss risks.

How is Unshaved Hair Transplantation Performed?

First of all, the physician asks the patient who wants to have unshaved hair transplantation to grow his hair a little, and it is waited until the patient’s hair grows. The main idea of ​​the patient’s hair to grow is to hide the donor (hair follicle) area between the normal area.

After the patient’s hair grows, the process continues by determining the area where the patient’s hair follicles will be taken. This area should be an area where the hair will regrow strongly. Later, with the help of his team, the surgeon collects the hair follicles that the patient has determined from the donor area one by one.

The collected hair is not ready for transplantation as there is tissue in its roots; For this reason, these hair follicles are cleaned and made ready for transplantation in the new area. Ultimately, the operation ends with the integration of the hair follicles, which are prepared for transplantation, to the area to be transplanted without any incision.

The operation is a method that requires great dedication, time and patience, as the hair follicles are taken from the donor area one by one and transplanted one by one. The duration of this process is longer than shaved hair transplantation. However, symptoms such as redness and swelling after the procedure pass in a much shorter time than in shaved hair transplantation, and thus patients can return to their social lives in a shorter time. In addition, in the unshaved hair transplantation method, hair follicles can be transplanted to the targeted area much more densely.

What Are Hair Transplant Methods?

Hair transplantation can be done with 3 different techniques. DHI (the completely unshaven method we are talking about), FUE (Partially shaved) and normal hair transplantation (FUT). The most advanced of these methods is the DHI method, it does not require any shaving. In these three hair transplant methods, it is possible to perform hair transplantation without shaving the transplant area, but shaving of the donor area is definitely a matter in FUE and FUT methods. DHI and FUT methods have advantages and disadvantages among themselves, but the FUT method is no longer a preferred method as before, with new developments in the field of health.

What are the Differences Between Unshaved Hair Transplantation and Normal Hair Transplantation?

Unshaved hair transplantation is a method that is applied without any shaving, unlike normal hair transplantation. In the shaved hair transplantation process, the donor area of ​​the hair is completely shaved, so that the physician performing the procedure can see the hair follicles more easily. Later, depending on whether the method is partially or completely shaved, the area to be transplanted can be shaved.

Shaved hair transplantation is easier for the physician, but unshaved hair transplantation is a method that is more beneficial for patients and is more preferred in patients because it preserves the natural appearance. In shaved hair transplantation, while the hair is added to the channel opened in the area to be transplanted; No channels are opened in unshaved hair transplantation. The hair follicles are transplanted one by one with the surgical choi implant pen used by the surgeon, so a more natural appearance is obtained and the gaps are filled more frequently.

In addition, the recovery rate in unshaven operation is higher than in normal hair transplantation. The normal hair transplantation method is performed by removing the scalp and removing the hairs inside. In the partially shaved (FUE) transplantation technique, only the hair in the donor area is cut to 1-3 mm short, the hair is taken one by one, again as in the DHI technique. The hair is planted in the direction of growth.

What is FUE Hair Transplantation?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation is a hair transplant method that is preferred more than normal hair transplantation and provides a more natural appearance. FUE method is also done without shaving if the hair in the target area to be transplanted can be easily entered, but the part where the hair will be taken is shaved. In other words, only the donor area is shaved, the hair roots are taken one by one, as in the completely unshaved (DHI) method. In the meantime, it is very important that the hair follicles are not damaged. The hair follicles taken are kept in a special solution, after the hair collection process is completed, incisions or channels are created in the target area and transplantation is performed.

What are the Differences Between These Mostly CommonTwo Techniques: FUE and DHI ?

The first important difference between these two methods is the method of transplanting the hair. In the DHI method, hair follicles are transplanted one by one with a special pen called choi implant without creating any incision or channel in the target area. In the FUE method, the hair follicles are transplanted by creating an incision or channel.In the DHI technique, the recovery time after the procedure is much shorter than the FUE technique. Thus, patients can return to their normal lives more quickly.Since the DHI technique is a more sensitive process, it is a slower and more time consuming procedure compared to the FUE procedure.

While the FUE technique is more advantageous for planting in larger areas, hair transplantation can be performed more frequently in the DHI technique. In the DHI technique, hair follicles are transplanted in a very short time after they are taken, thus minimizing the possibility of damage to the hair follicles. In the FUE technique, collected hair follicles are kept in a special solution.

What are the Disadvantages of DHI (Unshaved) Hair Transplantation Method?

Unshaved hair transplantation (DHI) method is advantageous in many ways compared to other hair transplant methods. However, there are some disadvantages as well. Some Disadvantages:Since the DHI method is a more costly and longer process, it is more expensive than other hair transplantation procedures. The process takes about 10-12 hours. The roots taken in the DHI method are planted without waiting. Therefore, placing the roots in accordance with the angle of the hair requires much more effort. Since the hair is not scraped, the risk of complications after the operation is higher in the unshaved hair transplantation method compared to the shaved hair transplantation method. Therefore, patients who receive unshaved hair transplantation service should pay more attention to cleanliness and hygiene.
