What Is No Shave FUE?

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction, a surgical technique where individual follicles are harvested from the back or sides of the scalp and transplanted to thinning areas. With No Shave FUE, we use advanced tools to extract follicles between existing hairs, so shaving the donor area is unnecessary. Your hairstyle stays intact, and recovery is fast and subtle. This technique is ideal for women who want visible improvement without the disruption of a traditional transplant.

I recently had a hair transplant from Medi Tresse. This was my 3rd one. The first two were done elsewhere. Dr. Mark DiStefano was a joy to deal with, and his staff, all of whom have been with him for many years, were amazing. I wish I had started this journey with Medi Tresse. I highly recommend this company.

A Hair Transplant Approach That Fits Your Lifestyle

Traditional FUE requires shaving the donor site, which can be uncomfortable and inconvenient, especially for women. Strip surgery (FUT) can leave a linear scar. No Shave FUE avoids both.

Here’s What You Can Expect A Seamless Patient Experience From Start to Finish

Comprehensive Evaluation

We never jump straight to surgery. Every patient begins with diagnostic lab work, scalp imaging, and a full consultation to understand the root cause of hair loss.

Treatment Planning

If No Shave FUE is right for you, we map the thinning area, estimate graft needs, and tailor the procedure to your hair’s natural growth pattern and future loss risk.

No Shave FUE For Women Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results of No Shave FUE last?

How long do the results of No Shave FUE last?
Hair transplanted through FUE is typically permanent. The follicles we relocate are genetically resistant to thinning, so they’ll continue growing in their new location. However, we often pair surgery with non-surgical therapies to protect the surrounding hair and slow future loss.

Can No Shave FUE work for all hair types and textures?

Can No Shave FUE work for all hair types and textures?
Yes—with some customization. No Shave FUE can be adapted for a wide range of hair textures, including wavy, curly, and coily hair. Our team is experienced in working with diverse hair types, and we design each procedure with your natural growth pattern, density goals, and styling habits in mind.

Will people be able to tell I had something done?

Will people be able to tell I had something done?
Not unless you tell them. That’s the advantage of No Shave FUE—it’s discreet by design. There’s no visible scarring, no sudden haircut change, and no post-op look that requires hiding out. Most patients return to work and social life within days, with no obvious signs of surgery.

How many grafts will I need?

How many grafts will I need?
It depends on the size of the area we’re restoring and your existing density. Some patients need 500 grafts for a more subtle fill-in, while others may need 1,500 or more to address broader thinning. During your consultation, we’ll assess your goals and determine the right number for a natural-looking result.

How much does No Shave FUE cost?

How much does No Shave FUE cost?
Pricing varies based on graft count, hair characteristics, and whether other treatments (like PRP) are recommended alongside surgery. We’ll provide transparent pricing after your evaluation, but as a general range, most procedures fall between $6,000 and $12,000. Financing options are available.

Is No Shave FUE painful?

Is No Shave FUE painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so most patients feel minimal discomfort. Some report mild soreness or tightness for a few days after the procedure, but it's typically well-managed with over-the-counter medication.

What would make me not a candidate for No Shave FUE?

What would make me not a candidate for No Shave FUE?
If you have active medical conditions causing rapid or inflammatory hair loss (such as alopecia areata or scarring alopecias), surgery may not be the best first step. Also, if your donor area is too thin, we may recommend non-surgical therapies or a combination treatment first. Our diagnostic process will help determine what’s safe and effective for you.

Can I still color or style my hair after the procedure?

Can I still color or style my hair after the procedure?
Yes, but we typically recommend waiting 2–3 weeks before coloring or chemically treating your hair post-surgery to allow your scalp to heal fully. After that, you can return to your regular styling routine.
