Is a hair transplant possible without shaving the head?

One of the most frequent questions we receive is whether it is necessary to shave your head for a hair transplant.
The fact of shaving the head generates many insecurities in men, and also women, who want their intervention to go unnoticed and improve their aesthetics and self-esteem without first having to shave all their hair.
For this reason, at Iberia Clinic it is possible to perform a hair graft without shaving the entire head. Depending on the type of technique that is applied in the transplant according to the needs of each patient.

Is the Fuss Technique Recommended for an Unshaven Graft?

With the FUSS hair implant technique, it is not necessary to shave/shave the patients’ hair. But you do have to extract the follicles from the donor area in some way.
This technique is based on the incision, cut and extraction of the scalp to obtain the follicular units. This strip of tissue is taken from the back of the head, which is the nape, where the hairs are genetically coded to last a lifetime.

The negative aspect of the FUSS technique is that it requires a longer postoperative period than other types of interventions to ensure proper healing of the donor area.
And it leaves a linear scar on the back of the head.

Today we do not recommend this technique to our patients because they will have a scar and a bald area for life in the donor area.

There are other types of techniques such as DHI.

Is the head shaved for the graft for women?

Hair grafting in women is as common as in men because women also suffer from hair loss depending on many factors.

For women, we apply the DHI technique with the minimum possible shaving of the donor area (only the donor area, part that can later be covered with your long hair), thus avoiding the social anxiety that women with long hair suppose to have to completely shave his head.

Does the DHI Technique Allow Me a Hair Graft Without a Shave?

Yes, with the DHI technique we do not shave your hair for the implant. Patients have to take into account, to extract the follicles from the donor area, a shaved area must be created. The recovery of that area is fast, in 2 weeks the appearance improves.
The extracted follicles are grafted one by one with a pencil called Choi Pen.

Here you will find the details of the DHI technique.
