The idea of having a full head of hair without shaving is as lucrative as it gets. There is a specific increment towards making everything instant and it is not just your favorite things to happen.


Reasons why a long hair transplant is attempted by many?

'Long hair transplant' is considered as a taboo though there are many opportunities for the best hair transplant clinic in Kolkata. Even a common man doesn't want people to know and hence, wants to avoid unnecessary speculations.


What can be offered to these patients?

There are two ways to meet the satisfaction of a patient's demand. These are FUT and FUE but it doesn't require completely shaving the recipient site.


Window trimming

In this the donor area is trimmed to a ‘0’ or ‘1’ clipper restricted to small zones, while the hair above it hides it.

A sharp/blunt punch with a manual way can be used. Smaller diameter punches yield a higher number of grafts. It is also evident to note here that with extremely small punch the quality of graft may be on the lower side, due to inadequate tissue surrounding it.

Cons:-

You can do only a limited number of grafts; around 1000-1500 grafts as this number can be easily grafted but not more due to the limited space available for extraction.


Long hair FUE

It is also known as non shaving FUE (NS-FUE).

Here none of the hair in the donor area is shaved.

The whole donor area used while extraction is done

It requires special FUE punches (motorized/manual) the punch first cuts the long hair, and then steps to cut the skin, further advancing to dissect the arrector pile muscle attachment. This loose hair graft is carefully pulled out with aid-to-extraction or jeweler’s forceps.
