Do You Have to Shave Your Head Before a Hair Transplant?

That depends on the technique used to harvest the follicles for your hair transplant. If we use the FUE technique, where follicular units are extracted one by one, it is necessary to shave the donor area. This allows us to safely remove the grafts without damaging them. If we use the Strip technique, where follicular units are removed in a single strip, then no haircut or shaving is required.
