Can head be shaved after Fue hair transplant. I have seen a picture posted on internet someone showed a shaved head with FUE and it had visible marks on recipient and donor area both. It was few years back. Has there been any advancement in technology that no visible marks are detected after shaving head.Thanks
Answer: Shaving the head after FUE hair transplant Many patients have different definitions of "shaving" the head. Some patients are referring to cutting the hair very short with a number 1 or 2 clipper, while others are referring to shaving the hair flush with the skin using a razor. In the former case (cutting the hair very short), the donor sites should not be visible after FUE transplant that is performed properly. There can be some noticeable thinning of the hair in the donor area that is visible after multiple transplant sessions, but this is uncommon, and is usually overcome by leaving the hair slightly longer on the back/sides. If shaving the head with a razor, there may be small dots that are visible after FUE. As time passes, these spots will likely become less noticeable, like any scar. FUE hair transplants should not be advertised as "scar free" but rather as "no linear scar" due to the potential for pinpoint scarring to be present if the head is shaved completely. All the best,

CONTACT NOW Answer: It can, depending on your complexion and healing This is a case-by-case kind of thing. The "scars" from FUE are all very small (when fully healed they can be as small as 1/2 a millimeter or 1/25th of an inch!). But these small spots can be a lighter skin color than your normal surrounding skin, where hairs were not taken. The darker your natural complexion, the more contrast could be visible between the FUE sites on the scalp and the untouched skin. So, in some people with a very fair complexion, it may not be noticeable at all even with the head fully shaved after FUE. In other people, just a little bit of short "buzz-cut" growth of hair can help to make the FUE sites not very visible at all. Hope this helps!

Answer: Shave There will always be a small scar where the hair follicle was before the transplant. However Scalp Micro Pigmentation has made it much less visible.

Answer: Shaved after Fue Hair Transplant Hello, Thank you for your question. I do not recommend razor or clipper shave before the 3rd month. Before that it could damage grafts and skin in the healing process.FUE operation leaves nearly no scars when you comparing it with FUT. But that does not mean FUE technic is scarless. It also leaves small marks and scars (like small dot) on the scalp. These marks will be visible after a razor or no:3 clipper shave. Also the visibility of these marks depends on the patients skin, after care period, devices used in operation and surgeon's skill.

Answer: Scarring after FUE surgery There is no such thing as scarless hair transplant. With strip harvesting there is a linear scar. With FUE there are small circular scars that are scattered over the entire donor area, thereby camouflaging the scars. The size of the FUE scars depends on the size of the punch (smaller punch will produce a smaller scar) and your own wound healing capacity. Nowadays, we are able to use smaller punches for most individuals (with resulting smaller scars). With proper technique, both FUE and FUT will produce excellent results both at the donor and recipient areas.
