Step - 1
Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation with one of our hair transplantation experts. During this session, we will assess your hair loss pattern, address your concerns, and discuss your desired outcomes.
Our specialists will map and measure the treatment area to determine the appropriate number of follicles needed at the desired density. This tailored approach ensures we create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
Step - 2
Extraction of Hair Follicles
Both the donor and recipient areas will be shaved, and local anaesthesia will be administered for your comfort. The surgeon will then extract individual hair follicles from the donor area using micro punches, ensuring minimal damage to the follicles to maintain their viability for transplantation.
Our surgeons take all precautions to avoid overharvesting, ensuring the donor area maintains its natural appearance and preserving follicles for potential future procedures if needed.
- Minimally invasive extraction technique
- Local anesthesia for pain-free experience
- Careful preservation of follicular integrity
Step - 3
Recipient Site Preparation and Transplantation
The surgeon will create tiny incisions in the recipient area where the hair will be implanted. These sites are strategically placed to follow the natural hair growth pattern, ensuring a seamless and natural appearance.
The extracted hair follicles are then meticulously implanted into the recipient sites one by one, with careful attention to the angle, direction, and density to achieve optimal cosmetic and medical results.
Step 4
Post-Procedure Care and Results
Following the hair transplantation, you will receive detailed post-operative care instructions, which may include guidelines for washing your hair, avoiding strenuous activities, and managing any discomfort or swelling.
Follow-up appointments will also be scheduled to monitor the progress of your hair growth and address any concerns you may have. Initial results will begin to show around 3-4 months after the procedure, with full results visible within 12-18 months.
Comparing Non-Shave FUE to Traditional FUE
Non-shave Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) presents distinct differences when compared to conventional FUE hair transplants, particularly in the skill and expertise required from the medical team. This technique is generally more time-intensive but offers several advantages:
Non-Shave FUE Procedure
The non-shave FUE process closely resembles that of standard FUE, with the key difference being that the head remains unshaven prior to the procedure.
Our skilled surgeons and hair technicians begin by evaluating your existing hair and scalp condition, followed by marking the donor and transplant areas. Utilizing a specialized punch tool, they create precise incisions in the donor area to extract hair grafts without compromising the hair shaft.
Each graft is then carefully inspected before being implanted into the designated areas. Attention is given to the placement and orientation of each graft to achieve the most natural results.
