Maintain your privacy and your hairstyle with an unshaven hair transplant in Istanbul. Our specialized no-shave FUE & DHI techniques allow you to undergo your hair transplant journey without the traditional buzzed look.
Traditionally, a hair transplant required shaving the entire head to allow the surgeon maximum visibility. With advancements in DHI and specialized micro-FUE tools, our expert surgeons can now work meticulously between your existing hairs.

Because there is no drastic change to your appearance, you can return to your social and professional life almost immediately without answering questions.
Using the DHI Choi Pen, we can safely implant new follicles between existing, long hairs without damaging the surrounding native hair follicles.
The Unshaven technique is highly specialized and is best suited for specific patients and patterns of hair loss.
Because the surgeon must work around existing hair, the maximum number of grafts that can be safely extracted and implanted in one session is generally lower (usually 1,500 - 2,500 grafts).
The prospect of shaving one's head is often the biggest deterrent for men and women considering hair restoration. At Best Hair Clinic Istanbul, our "Unshaven Hair Transplant" or "No-Shave FUE/DHI" is specifically designed to eliminate this hurdle, allowing you to undergo life-changing hair restoration under the radar.
Only a small, discreet strip or "window" at the back of the head (donor area) is shaved. The long hair above this strip falls over it, completely concealing the shaved donor site. The recipient area remains entirely unshaven, making this the most popular choice for substantial graft counts (up to 3,000) while retaining a normal look.
Absolutely no shaving takes place on the head. Surgeons meticulously extract follicles amidst long hair and implant them. This is extremely complex and usually capped at around 1,500 - 2,000 grafts per session, perfect for minor hairline corrections.
Recovery follows a standard timeline, but visually, the transition is seamless. Since the scalp isn't bare, any minor crusts or redness in the recipient area are effectively hidden by your surrounding native hair. Patients must still follow strict aftercare protocols involving special medical shampoos (provided in our kit) and careful sleeping positions to protect the newly placed grafts.
