No-Shave FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to balding areas according to the patient’s desired look. This minimally invasive procedure does not require incisions, as is the case with FUT. Unlike traditional FUE, it does not require shaving the donor area. Instead, hair grafts are carefully extracted using a specialized tool, provided the patient’s hair in the donor area is at least 1.5 inches long.
Traditional FUE and No-Shave FUE are both hair transplant procedures, but they differ in their approach. In Traditional FUE, the entire donor area is shaved to facilitate follicle extraction, leaving the patient with a shaved back of the head, which typically grows back to peach-fuzz length within a few days. In contrast, No-Shave FUE does not require shaving the donor area, making it a more appealing option for patients who prefer to keep their procedure discreet.
