An unshaven hair transplant is ideal for people with long hair who need less transplantation.
What is an unshaven hair transplant?
Unshaven hair transplantation is a hair transplant operation in which only the area where the grafts are taken is shaved. If the hair is long, the hair transplant operation will not be noticed after a very short time.
To have an unshaven hair transplant operation, you need an average of 3000 grafts and less hair. If you want to transplant over this number, you should be shaved hair transplantation. Because in order to harvest over 3000 grafts, not only the back of the head is not enough, but we also need to harvest from the sides, that is, from the area above the ears.

In unshaven hair transplantation, how many square centimeters of the donor area will be cut depends on the number of grafts to be taken. For example, if 1000 grafts will be taken, it will be sufficient to shave an area of 2 cm in height and 8 cm in width. As the number of grafts to be taken increases, the diameter of the area to be shaved will also increase.
In unshaven hair transplantation, the hair length should be at least 4 cm. The reason for this is that we shave the area to be shaved. Since we do not shave the hair above the shaved area, the area will not be noticed one day after the operation. If you have hair on your front line, the transplantation area will not be noticeable after a few days if we will only tighten the hair between the hair. If we are going to transplant in the area where your front line is or in your temple area, you can hide the prominence by combing your existing hair. After ten days, the crusting process is over, and only redness remains in the transplanted area. The disappearance of this redness differs from person to person. For example, in white-skinned people, redness passes for a long time, while it passes more quickly in brunettes.

Unshaven hair transplantation is preferred not only by people with very long hair but also by people who have American shaving. This technique is suitable for people who use their sides very short in daily life, people whom we see more frequently today if they want to tighten the hair between the hair. In these people, it is visible that the transplantation is performed after the operation, but the transplantation area loses its prominence more quickly than shaven hair transplantation. We usually perform unshaven hair transplant operations with the DHI technique.

Unshaven hair transplantation, which is especially preferred by women, is an operation performed in order not to be noticed. Women’s hair falls out or becomes thinner after hormonal problems or childbirth. When hair treatment methods do not work, they prefer hair transplantation. Unshaved hair transplantation is the best solution for them to return to their social life in record time.

There are 3 types of anesthesia techniques. Local anesthesia, Needle-Free Anesthesia and Sedation.
Local anesthesia is injected with standard needles, and anesthesia is performed on average in five minutes. Afterward, the injected area becomes completely numb. Thus, you will not have pain during and after the operation.
Pain Duration: Average of 5 minutes
Needle-Free Anesthesia is a device that gives anesthesia for the area of the operation by pressure, not by needles. After the site is entirely anesthetized, anesthesia is continued with a needle, and the person does not feel it.
We use this device only in the area where we take the grafts (donor area). Because some bruising occurs after the pressure in the using area, we do not use it in the transplant area.
Needle-free anesthesia is an ideal solution for people with needle phobia.
Pain Duration: Average of 3 minutes
Sedation is when sedative drugs are given before the surgery, and it helps you feel more relaxed during the operation. The anesthesiologist injects the sedative drugs into your vein. You don’t feel pain, but you don’t sleep, either. So you will be able to answer the questions asked. In addition, you will be slumberous during the surgery.
Pain Duration: Painless
