Non-Shaving Hair Restoration

Well known Hair Transplant surgeon Dr. Baubac Hayatdavoudi is one of the few doctors in the world who offers non shaving FUE Hair Restoration.

With Dr. Baubac’s Executive Non-Shaving Hair Restoration option, the hair on the top is left at normal length, and only very small sections are clipped in the donor region, which are then concealed by the patient’s existing hair keeping the procedure concealed and hidden.

Dr. Baubac’s Executive Non-Shaving Procedure is a perfect solution for those in representative occupations who cannot shave their head due to the nature of their job. It is also a great option for patients who want to keep their procedure concealed, private and unnoticed as it allows patients to keep their original hair in the same style and length, during and after the procedure.

With Dr. Baubac’s non shaving FUE Hair transplants typically we can go as high as:

• 1,500 grafts non shaving with our Executive NON Shaving procedure
• 2,200 grafts with our Executive Buzz procedure

With our Non Shaving procedures the patient can then return to work and every day activities immediately without people knowing that a hair restoration has taken place.

Attached is an example of a Dr. Baubac patient who has had the Executive Non-Shaving procedure, and how it looks after the restoration.

General Info About FUE Hair Transplants

• The procedure is done in an outpatient clinic setting.
• Procedures are performed in a single day.
• The procedure will last anywhere from 6 to 8 hours depending on number of grafts.
• The procedure is done only under the local anesthesia.
• All patients will have a postoperative follow-up in the clinic the day after their procedure.
• The newly implanted hair will fall out within the first 2 weeks to 6 weeks post transplant. New hair growth will start at 3 months and a gradual increase

STRIP vs FUE

The two transplant methods widely used today are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and STRIP (Follicular Unit Strip Surgery). These procedures differ in the way the donor hair is extracted.

STRIP requires the cutting of a large strip of scalp from the patient's donor area. The incision is then stitched shut, and the grafts are harvested from this strip.

The drawback to this procedure is that the patient is left with a long, linear scar across the donor area, preventing them from being able to sport a short hairstyle in the future, as hair must be kept longer in order to cover the scar. Of greater concern, however, is that the FUSS procedure greatly decreases the useable donor hair, affecting the patient's capacity for future procedures to restore their hair to its full potential.

The revolutionary FUE Hair Transplant procedure addresses these concerns, as individual follicles can be extracted directly from the donor area, eliminating any strip removal. This results in a significantly reduced healing time and NO linear scar. The patient has the freedom to trim and style their hair as they please. Furthermore, the lack of strip removal maximizes amount of donor hair that can be harvested.

Body Hair Transplants (BHT)

Body hair transplant is a solution and viable option for those who suffer from advanced hair loss, for someone who may not have a strong scalp donor region or for patients who’s donor region has been depleted because of previous hair restoration procedures with other clinics.

BHT is used mainly in cases where the patient’s scalp donor area on the head is no longer suitable or dense enough for the FUE extraction of follicles.

When performed at a high level, body hair transplantation can be used as a filler in the mid scalp and crown to provide additional coverage.

Not many clinics currently practice or offer BHT because of the high degree of difficulty. Dr. Baubac Hayatdavoudi is one of just a few FUE surgeons worldwide to offer BHT to patients  in our Los Angeles offices and he has had amazing success with it.

Dr. Baubac has performed hundreds of scalp hair and body hair combo hair restorations where the hairline is comprised of only scalp hair, then as the scalp goes back body hair is placed in between and blended in with existing hair and transplanted scalp hair to make for a fuller and natural look.

Body hair that is used by Dr. Baubac for such procedures come from the beard, chest and back.
