What is Unshaven Hair Transplant?
Unshaven (no-shave) hair transplant allows patients to have FUE extraction without shaving the donor area. The procedure is more time-consuming but enables returning to normal life without obvious signs of having had a transplant—ideal for professionals who can't take extended time off.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Unshaven transplant is ideal for those who can't take visible time off work. Premium pricing reflects the additional time and precision required. Grow your hair longer before the procedure for best concealment.
Insider Note:
Fewer grafts can typically be harvested in a single session compared to shaved FUE (usually 2000–2500 max). Larger cases requiring 3000+ grafts may need multiple sessions or partial shaving.

Dr Serkan Aygın Hair Transplant Clinic - Istanbul Turkey
"As a female patient, I was concerned about the embarrassment of shaving my head, so during my consultation the clinic recommended Long DHI—a surgical technique specifically designed for patients with long hair. While this approach clearly increases the complexity of the procedure, it offered the discretion I was looking for. After several weeks of careful research, I chose Dr. Serken Aygin Hair Transplant Clinic because of its outstanding reputation in this field. I decided to schedule the surgery during my short Christmas break, combining the procedure with a visit to this beautiful city. From the moment I arrived, the clinic provided thoughtful airport and clinic transfer services, making the entire experience seamless. From pre-operative planning to the surgery itself and post-operative care, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. Communication with the customer service representative was smooth and efficient, and the treatment schedule was extremely well organized. Thanks to the surgical team’s excellent skills, the procedure was efficient and went very smoothly. There was virtually no pain during the surgery, and with my long hair covering the area, it was almost impossible to tell that the donor and recipient areas had just undergone treatment. Starting the day after surgery, I wore the cap provided by the clinic and spent several days exploring the city with complete confidence. This experience allowed me to enhance my appearance while also enjoying famous local attractions, making the trip truly worthwhile. Long DHI is truly a blessing for female patients—the recovery is remarkably fast. After approximately six hours of surgery, aside from mild swelling-related discomfort during the first two days, I was able to move freely and felt comfortable going out in public. When I returned to work after the New Year, I’m confident no one suspected I had undergone surgery. I sincerely thank the medical team at Dr. Serken Aygin Hair Transplant Clinic for their outstanding surgical expertise, as well as the service team for their patience and attentiveness. I look forward to seeing even better results over time."

AEK Hair Clinic
"After I had face to face meetings with top clinics in Istanbul, I've found out that AEK clinic was the least focused on pleasing the patient, which gave me the trust that they are not interested in selling you the procedure but actually letting you know about your exact situation and what to expect. That prepares you to have realistic expectations and not everything you wish for. Me personally found comfort in this and trusted them with 2 procedures in 2 years, and I'm quite happy with the results."
