FUE Non-Shaven

Look good instantly

Non-Shaven Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a discreet hair transplant technique ideal for men with longer hair and women who want to maintain their existing hairstyle. Unlike Shaven FUE, which requires shaving the entire donor area, this method involves trimming only small, specific sections. The trimmed areas are carefully concealed by surrounding hair, creating the appearance of an “untouched donor site”.

This technique demands high precision and skill to extract strong, healthy follicles without disturbing neighboring hair. The result is a full and thick hairline with minimal scarring, allowing patients to return to their daily routine almost immediately after surgery. Though the procedure takes longer than Shaven FUE, the outcome is seamless and discreet.

At Bangkok Hair Clinic, our experienced team is among the few in Thailand capable of performing Non-Shaven FUE with exceptional care and expertise. We ensure patients receive natural results, optimal safety, and professional service at a reasonable cost.

Non-Shaven FUE procedure:

What to Expect

Duration:
Non-Shaven FUE typically takes 8-10 hours, depending on the number of grafts and the complexity of the case. Because the partial shaving requires meticulous attention to detail, the procedure is slightly longer than Shaven FUE. We provide a 15-30 minute break for lunch, and we follow the ‘first out, first in’ technique to minimize graft exposure time and ensure optimal survival rates.

Safety:
Non-Shaven FUE is a minimally invasive day surgery, allowing patients to return home the same day. The procedure uses local anesthesia, which minimizes risk compared to general anesthesia. We take operational precautions and provide prophylaxis to ensure patient safety and maintain graft viability . Post-operative care instructions are provided to support a smooth recovery process and minimize the chance of complications.

Comfort:
Our refined anesthesia techniques — including mechanical vibration, distraction, and light sedation — help reduce discomfort during and after the procedure.

Benefits of Non-Shaven FUE

• Discreet Procedure – Minimal shaving means the transplant is barely noticeable, making it ideal for longer hairstyles and patients who prefer privacy.
• Natural Appearance – Achieves the same realistic results as Shaven FUE, including macro and micro irregularities (zig-zag hairline) for a seamless blend.
• Quick Recovery – A healing period of just 1-3 days, similar to Shaven FUE.
• Minimal Scarring – Tiny incisions measuring 0.6-0.8mm, leaving virtually invisible scars.
• Flexibility for Women – Suitable for female patients who prefer to maintain their hair length.
• No Significant Hairstyle Changes – Allows you to resume styling your hair without noticeable disruption.

Limitations of Non-Shaven FUE:

• The procedure can only be done for a limited number of grafts in one session.
• Longer duration of procedure compared to Shaven FUE
• More difficult post-operative wound care for the patient

FAQ

Question: Will there be scars after permanent hair transplantation?
Answer: Scarring after permanent hair transplantation is inevitable. However, if hair is transplanted using the FUE method, the scars will be very small, about 0.7-1.0 millimeters, or barely visible to the naked eye. Hair transplantation using other methods may result in larger scars, but with today’s technology, scar camouflage is much better. Therefore, after hair transplantation, hair follicle cell transplantation can be sure to return to daily life with confidence.

Question: Does hair transplantation hurt?
Answer: Whether hair transplantation is done using the FUE or FUT technique, there is only a little pain when the anesthetic is injected before the procedure begins. After that, the patient will hardly feel any pain at all.
