Continue reading to learn more about what you can expect from an unshaven hair transplant.
An unshaven FUE transplant (also called UFUE) is a discreet treatment option for patients who wish to keep their hair restoration private. Generally, FUE recipients are required to shave their hair transplant before surgery. However, UFUE enables patients to maintain their hair length during the procedure.
This innovative approach is nearly identical to a standard FUE hair transplant but with the distinct approach that no shaving is necessary.
With unshaven hair transplants, not a single hair is cut. This is the key difference that sets it apart from other hair transplants in terms of discretion and post-procedure aesthetics.
The subtlety of the method means that patients can return to their daily routines with minimal evidence that they have undergone hair transplant surgery. This addresses a significant concern regarding discretion and privacy.

Please note: Surgeons can only safely extract a limited number of grafts during an unshaven FUE hair transplantation. This means the procedure is only suitable for patients with mild to moderate hair loss.
Our WAW Duo FUE technology allows for efficient extraction with minimal disruption to surrounding hair, making unshaven FUE even more discreet.
The Hybrid Tornado Punch reduces trauma to the scalp, preserving existing hair and ensuring a smoother healing process. With precise control over depth, rotation and oscillation, the system allows for accurate extraction in denser areas without compromising nearby follicles.
The benefits of UFUE extend beyond the cosmetic appeal of avoiding having your head shaved. Unshaven hair transplant surgery offers several benefits over traditional hair transplants. These include the following:

No. Undergoing a hair transplant without shaving beforehand should not impact the growth of new hair follicles in the recipient area.
However, patients should take extra care during their recovery period, as a UFUE hair transplant carries certain postoperative risks:
The cost for the unshaven hair transplant in your Glasgow clinic is £7 per graft. UFUE hair transplantation is a complex procedure that’s both time-consuming and labour-intensive.
During standard FUE, the donor areas are shaved for easy access to hair follicles. However, the UFUE technique requires surgeons to navigate through existing hair. This meticulous extraction process extends the duration of the procedure and demands more surgical precision, resulting in higher costs.
Our Hair Transplant Finance Options
Although no-shave FUE may cost more, many patients find the benefits of a discreet and natural-looking hair restoration to be worth the increased expense.
The unshaven hair transplant approach is tailored for individuals with mild to moderate hair loss and thinning who value discretion and minimal interference within their daily lives.
No-shave FUE hair transplants ensure your procedure remains undetectable to everyone around you, upholding the highest standards of privacy. This method is gaining popularity across the UK due to its subtle approach, providing natural-looking results without the tell-tale signs of hair transplant surgery.
As with any hair transplant, not everyone is a suitable candidate for a UFUE procedure. One of the most important requirements is to have sufficient healthy hair at the donor site. This will enable your surgeon to cover balding areas with transplanted hair grafts. If you have very low hair density, a hair transplant with or without shaving may not be possible.
You can find out if you’re a good candidate for hair transplantation by attending an initial consultation with our surgeon. During this consultation, you will also gain a comprehensive understanding of the unshaven hair transplant process and set realistic expectations for the outcome.
While scarring is an inevitable part of almost any surgical procedure, an unshaven FUE method is designed to minimise the visibility of these effects for a discreet and effective hair restoration solution.
An unshaven hair transplant is performed using the FUE surgical technique. This advanced technique involves using surgical micro-punches to extract individual hair follicles rather than harvesting an entire donor strip (as with the FUT technique).
One of the major advantages of FUE is that it results in minimal visible scarring. Rather than a long linear FUT scar, an FUE procedure typically results in small circular scars where follicular units have been extracted.
A major appeal of an FUE unshaven hair transplant is that the existing hair in the donor area is left unshaven. This helps effectively conceal any small extraction scars, allowing for a more discreet recovery process.
No. Styling too soon after a transplant can disrupt the healing process and potentially damage your new hair grafts. Rather, post-operative patients should stick to gentle hair care practices following surgery.
Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions, including when you can safely resume normal hair styling. Following these guidelines will help ensure optimal healing and the best possible final result.
