About the No Shave Hair Restoration Technique

The No Shave Technique is a specialized hair transplant method that allows for the extraction and transplantation of hair follicles without fully shaving the donor or recipient areas of the scalp. This technique is ideal for individuals dealing with hair loss who wish to avoid the visibility of a shaved scalp during recovery, making the process more discreet and easier to manage in social or professional settings. Dr. Malhotra’s expertise in hair restoration, combined with his attention to detail, ensures that each follicle is carefully harvested and implanted with precision.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The donor and recipient areas are carefully selected without the need to shave large portions of the scalp.

2. Follicle Extraction

Individual follicles are harvested from the donor area using advanced tools that minimize scarring and maximize precision.

3. Transplantation

The harvested follicles are strategically placed in the recipient area, following Dr. Malhotra’s carefully designed hairline plan.

4. Post-Procedure Care

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and ensure the success of your grafts.

After the Procedure

Recovery from the No Shave Technique is typically short and comfortable. You can expect some redness and mild swelling in the treatment areas, but these effects generally subside within a few days. Since your hair is left intact, your regular hairstyle will help conceal the procedure, allowing for a more discreet recovery. With our 80% Graft Growth Pledge, you can be confident that the transplanted follicles will grow, providing natural-looking results over the coming months. Patients generally begin to see noticeable improvements within three to six months, with full results appearing by the one-year mark.
