Hair loss affects millions of people – men as well as women. However, not everyone wants those around them to know about an upcoming hair transplant. This is exactly where the hair transplant without shaving in Germany offers an innovative and discreet solution. At Medifue, we combine medical excellence with aesthetic sensitivity – entirely without visible traces or complete shaving of the head. This method enables a hair thickening treatment without removing the existing hair – perfect for anyone who values discretion and a natural appearance.
What is a hair transplant without shaving?
The shave-free hair transplant (also called No-Shave Hair Transplant) is a procedure in which the donor area is either not shaved at all or only shaved in a way that is minimally visible. This means:
- No complete shaving of the head required
- Treatment is carried out between the existing hair
- Fully socially presentable within a few days
Difference compared to a conventional hair transplant
| Conventional hair transplant | Without shaving |
| Complete shaving of the head | No visible shaving necessary |
| Noticeable after the procedure | Discreet and hardly noticeable |
| Longer downtime | Quick return to everyday life |
Who is the method without shaving suitable for?
The method is particularly suitable for:
- Working people who cannot take time off
- Women with long hair

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant without shaving
How exactly does a hair transplant without shaving work?
With the shave-free method, the donor area is not completely shaved. Instead, only small individual areas are prepared in such a way that they remain practically invisible under the existing hair. The extracted grafts are then implanted directly between the existing hairs.
Is the method suitable for everyone?
It is particularly suitable for:
- People who do not want visible changes in their professional or social lives
- Women with long hair
- Men with receding hairlines or local hair gaps
- Patients with focal hair loss
The method is not suitable if:
- there are extreme patterns of hair loss
- the donor area is too weak
- very large areas need to be reconstructed
An individual hair analysis provides precise information.
How long does the healing process take?
Typical course:
- 1 to 3 days: slight swelling or redness possible
- 7 to 10 days: crust formation heals completely
- 1 month: everyday life possible without drawing attention
- 6 to 12 months: full results visible
The healing process is usually faster than with shaved FUE, as there is less skin irritation.
When can I go back to work?
Since no visible shaving takes place, most people are socially and professionally presentable again after just 1 to 2 days.
Can you see the transplanted hairs at the beginning?
Because they are integrated into the existing hair, the transplanted areas are hardly visible. Slight redness may occur, but usually disappears within a few days.
How permanent are the results?
The transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss. As a result, they continue to grow for a lifetime and do not fall out again due to androgenetic alopecia.
