How Does Hair Transplant Work?
There are mainly two types of hair transplant techniques namely FUE (follicular unit extraction) and FUT (follicular unit transplantation). FUE requires removal of individual hair grafts from the donor site to be transplanted to the recipient site. FUT requires the removal of a strip of hairs from the donor site followed by transplantation of hair grafts to the recipient site.
Donor or Recipient Area Shaving
In general, the donor area hair is first trimmed or shaved to make it easy to remove a strip or grafts. In the case of FUT, the only area where a strip has to be removed may be shaved. Moreover, the recipient area also requires shaving if there are some hairs.
In FUE, donor shaving could be done in layers. The longer hair at the adjoining scalp areas will cover the shaved area. The recipient area may also need shaving if there exist some hairs.
