What Is the Difference?
Typically patients do not want to shave their heads when considering a hair transplant.
This is where the issue begins. For a standard FUE hair transplant, it is often necessary to shave a small part of the head (the donor area) to aid extraction and transplantation. With larger procedures, it may be necessary to entirely shave the head.
Shaving makes it much easier for the hair transplant surgeon and it is often the only way many hair transplant surgeons can achieve effective permanent results.
