Unshaven Hair Transplant
An unshaven hair transplant (no-shave FUE) lets you restore density without cutting or buzzing your hair, so you keep your current style throughout the treatment. Led by Dr. Arslan Musbeh at Hairmedico Istanbul, this discreet approach is ideal for women, professionals, and anyone who values privacy, natural aesthetics, and a fast return to social life. Explore our one-surgery-per-day philosophy and AI-assisted planning to achieve results that blend seamlessly with your face.
In an unshaven (no-shave) FUE, grafts are harvested and implanted while preserving visible hair in both donor and recipient zones. Compared to classic FUE, you avoid the “freshly shaved” look and maintain normal daily routines with minimal disruption.
No-shave FUE is a refined microsurgical method where individual follicular units are extracted with high-precision punches and implanted into micro-channels—without shaving large areas. This technique demands meticulous angulation control to match native hair direction and flow.
Partially Unshaven: A small, hidden donor window is trimmed to harvest grafts; surrounding hair conceals it.
Recipient-Only Unshaven: Recipient hair remains intact; ideal when you need targeted refinement on temples or hairline.
Fully Unshaven: No visible shaving on donor or recipient zones, delivering maximum discretion for public-facing roles.
Unshaven FUE suits patients who want discreet enhancement, typically where the graft count is up to ~3,000.
Maintain length and styling. The technique hides donor work beneath existing coverage, supporting elegant, natural regeneration.
Avoid awkward transitions at work. Most patients resume desk duties within 3–5 days with no obvious signs of surgery.
Ideal for temples, mid-scalp, or crown refinements, or to enhance density after a previous transplant.
No obvious post-op buzz. Your normal appearance is preserved during the early healing phase.
With precise handling and limited exposure, typical recovery is 3–5 days, versus 7–10 with fully shaven cases.
Grafts keep the donor’s genetic resistance. With correct angulation and distribution, results look indistinguishable from native hair.
We perform only one operation per day, ensuring surgeon attention, stable graft handling times, and consistent quality.
Our Algorithmic FUE™ models hairline geometry to your facial proportions, skin tone, and donor capacity, improving density distribution.

Shaven: Visible patches for 1–2 weeks.
Unshaven: No visible shaving, hair hides donor activity.
Shaven: ~7–10 days to look social-ready.
Unshaven: ~3–5 days, particularly for desk work and light routines.
Shaven: Suits large sessions (up to 5,000+).
Unshaven: Typically 1,000–3,000 grafts; slightly higher cost due to complexity and time.

Share photos and goals. We estimate graft count, assess donor reserves, and define your hairline with Algorithmic FUE™.
Local anesthesia, atraumatic extraction, and implantation in angle-matched micro-channels to reproduce native flow.
Detailed instructions for washing, sleep position, and activity. We support you for 12 months with remote check-ins and clinical reviews.
Early regrowth appears around 3 months; visible density builds between 8–12 months.
Ultra-thin sapphire blades create cleaner channels, enabling closer spacing and reduced tissue trauma.
Pen implanters enable dense packing and precise depth control—excellent for hairline refinement in unshaven cases.
AI-guided design balances density, direction, curl pattern, and coverage, maximizing realism within donor constraints.
“No one noticed I had surgery. I was back at work in 4 days.” — M.L., Paris
“The perfect solution for a woman like me—elegant, natural, discreet.” — N.D., Brussels
Is it painful?
Performed under local anesthesia; patients report minimal discomfort.
Can it be done for beard/eyebrow?
Yes—unshaven protocols adapt well to facial hair areas when indicated.
Is it more expensive than standard FUE?
Slightly—unshaven work requires expert-level precision and longer operative time.
How many grafts can be done?
Typically 1,000–3,000 depending on donor density and goals.
Our packages cover consultation, surgery with Dr. Musbeh, hotel, private transfers, medication, and aftercare.
