Can head be shaved 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,

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!

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. 

You should wait at least 4 weeks before shaving your head after a hair transplant.  Based on your skin type you may have visible, small white dots on the donor site.  These tiny scars are generally not visible when the head is not shaved.

Yes.  FUE is not a scarless surgery.  It does cause lots of dot scars.  What you read on the Internet is just "marketing".  This is unfortunate and misleading to patients.
