What Is No Shave FUE?

No Shave Follicular Unit Extraction is a specialized version of FUE that doesn’t require shaving the donor or recipient areas. Individual follicles are harvested from a concealed area—often the back or sides of the head—and then implanted with precision. The result? Real hair growth that blends naturally with your current style, without a dramatic change to your appearance during healing.

No Shave FUE in Boston Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to shave my head for this procedure?

Nope! That’s the beauty of No Shave FUE. Your donor and recipient areas remain unshaven, so your current hairstyle stays intact. It’s ideal for professionals and public-facing individuals in Boston who want results without a visible recovery.

Will people at work or in public be able to tell I had something done?

Most likely not. Aside from minimal redness, there are usually no outward signs. You’ll leave our Boston office looking nearly identical to when you walked in, and your procedure will be kept entirely private.

Is No Shave FUE as effective as traditional FUE?

Absolutely. The results are just as permanent and natural-looking. The difference lies in the technique, not the outcome.

What’s the downtime like?

Very manageable. Most patients return to normal activities in a day or two. There’s no obvious sign of surgery, making it especially popular in busy cities like Boston.

How do I know if I’m a candidate?

During a consultation, we’ll walk you through everything. If you have moderate hair loss and sufficient donor hair, you're likely a great candidate for this discreet technique.
