Unshaven FUE Hair Transplant

How is an unshaven FUE hair transplant performed?

Here are the procedural steps:

Numbing of the scalp- Local anesthesia is first injected into both the donor and recipient areas.
The donor hair grafts harvesting- The hair follicles for transplantation are predominantly taken from the occipital area or otherwise from the beard or chest. They are removed from the donor site by either of the three methods: strip shaving, snip, and harvest, and no-shave or cut, total harvest. For precise extraction of viable hair follicles, the surgeon uses serrated punches of 0.8-1.1mm diameter punch holes. The harvested follicles are individually checked for quality and viability and then kept in a petri dish until the recipient site is ready for implantation.
The implantation of hair follicles on the recipient site- One approach is making slit incisions using specialized blades of about 0.1mm thickness and then one by one place each follicular unit. Another approach uses specialized hair implanters that directly implant the hair follicles.
