Non-Shaven FUE Hair Transplant— SRV Technique — Total discretion, immediate return from Day 1 —
Non-Shaven FUE — Total Discretion, Immediate Return
Standard FUE requires shaving the donor area (nape) to 2 mm to facilitate follicle extraction. With the SRV method (Shave-Resistant Version), the surgeon harvests grafts directly between the long hairs — without shaving — by gently lifting each strand with micro-clips and ultra-fine punches of just 0.6 mm in diameter. Nobody will know you had a procedure. The technique is particularly suited to patients who cannot display a shaved zone for several weeks, for professional, social or personal reasons.
Advantages of the Non-Shaven Technique
- No visible shaved area — total discretion from the day after the procedure
- Immediate return to social and professional life
- Ideal for women with long hair and appearance-conscious men
- Identical final result to standard FUE — same grafts, same quality
- Gentle local anaesthesia — you remain awake and relaxed throughout the procedure
Who Is the Non-Shaven FUE For?
The SRV technique suits three main profiles. Professionals in the public eye (executives, sales staff, public figures) who cannot display a shaved zone for several weeks. Women with alopecia: almost all female transplants are performed with the SRV technique for maximum discretion. And patients seeking localised densification of a specific area — frontal line, temples, crown — without a visible intervention. The technique is available for sessions of up to 2,000–2,500 grafts.
