FUE Shaven

The most widely used standard for scarless hair transplantation by doctors worldwide.

Summary of the key features of FUE Shaven technology.

  • No linear scarring. The puncture site, only 0.7 to 0.9 mm in size, heals in 5 to 7 days, leaving no noticeable mark.

  • Surgical precision: The physician directly controls the direction, angle, and depth of each graft with the hands of a specialist.

  • Rapid recovery; return to daily routine within 3 to 5 days; hair can be washed within 24 to 48 hours.

  • The graft survival rate is over 95% with root analysis, expert implantation by a specialist, and attentive hair follow-up.

  • The results are permanent, lasting a lifetime. Hair follicles that have migrated from the DHT-resistant zone will no longer fall out due to genetics.

Principles and mechanisms of treatment.

 

FUE is both an art and a science in one procedure. Each graft extracted is a living organism that requires meticulous care.

 

FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, is the most widely accepted hair transplant technique by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery. In this technique, the surgeon uses a 0.7 to 0.9 mm micro-punch to extract hair follicles one by one from a DHT-resistant donor area, and then transplants them to the desired area.

 

The Shaven technique involves shaving the hair in the donor area to a length of approximately 1 to 3 mm. This allows the doctor to clearly see the direction and angle of the hair roots, which directly affects the quality of the graft and the survival rate after transplantation.

Treatment procedure

  1. Consult a doctor for scalp analysis, donor area assessment, and personalized hairline design.

  2. Shave the hair in the donor area to a length of 1 to 3 mm and clean the scalp.

  3. Local anesthesia is injected into both the donor and recipient areas to ensure the entire procedure is painless.

  4. The doctor extracts the graft one unit at a time using a micro-punch, preserving it in a special solution at all times.

  5. The doctor opens a channel to receive the root, taking into account the designed angle, direction, and density.

  6. Plant each graft unit according to the planned layout, paying attention to every detail.

  7. Receive medication and post-procedure care instructions. You can go home the same day.

Those who are suitable for this procedure.

  • Men and women with androgenetic alopecia (hair loss due to genetics).

  • Those with a sufficiently dense donor area.

  • Those who want permanent results from a single treatment.

  • Those who agree to temporarily shave the hair in the donor area.

  • Those who need to plant a large number of grafts in a single procedure, from 1,000 to over 4,000 grafts.

  • Those who like short hairstyles and want a short cut without visible scars.

Those who should consider alternative options.

  • Individuals with very thin donor areas or severe, widespread hair loss.

  • People with blood clotting disorders or who are currently taking thrombolytic drugs.

  • People with untreated scalp dermatitis.

  • For those who don't want to shave their heads, more suitable options include the Non-Shaven or Long-Hair techniques.

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women

Why should you trust HairScension?

 

The real difference lies not solely in the tools or techniques, but in the experience, expertise, and mindset of the treating physician.

  • Our doctors are specialists in scalp care. They are board-certified dermatologists and hair surgeons who dedicate their careers solely to the science of hair and scalp, not general practitioners who specialize in multiple fields.

  • The highest-level tools in the field, the latest micro-punch device, and a graft preservation system in ATP solution to maintain root viability, result in a graft survival rate higher than the standard.

  • The doctor performs every step personally. Every graft is decided upon and performed by the doctor. We do not delegate crucial procedures to non-doctors.

  • An environment designed for privacy; the clinic provides services to one patient at a time. The space is designed for a calm, private, and comfortable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How painful is FUE Shaven hair transplantation?

During the procedure, there is virtually no pain because local anesthesia is used on both the donor and recipient areas. The most noticeable sensation is usually a light pressure. For the first 1 to 3 days after the procedure, you may feel some tightness or slight soreness, for which your doctor will prescribe appropriate pain medication.

How long do I have to wait to see real results?

The transplanted hair will fall out within the first 2 to 4 weeks, which is a normal natural process. New roots will then begin to grow around 3 to 4 months, with noticeable density seen by 6 months, and the full results achieved at 12 to 18 months.

How long does the procedure take?

Depending on the number of grafts being planted, it averages 6 to 10 hours for 2,000 to 3,000 grafts, all done in a single day, and patients can go home that night.

How many grafts can be planted at a time, and is it necessary to repeat the process?

The number depends on the quality and quantity of the donor area for each individual. Generally, it ranges from 1,500 to over 4,000 grafts per session. Most clients achieve the desired results in a single session, but those with very thin hair or seeking maximum density may consider repeating the procedure after 12 months.

Will transplanted hair fall out again?

The transplanted hair comes from areas that do not respond to DHT, the hormone that causes hereditary hair loss. Therefore, the transplanted hair is permanent. However, the surrounding hair may still thin naturally. The doctor will always plan the transplant taking into account the future progression of the disease.
