The first image that comes to mind when it comes to hair transplantation is a shaved head, red spots and a week cut off from social life. This “military shave” requirement is the biggest barrier that keeps many business people, artists and especially female patients away from this procedure. If you say, “I want to have a hair transplant, but I can't go bald because of my job”, Istanbul Nisantasi Medlook Polyclinic we would like to introduce you to the most prestigious solution of modern medicine: Long Hair FUE Hair Transplant.
This method breaks the rules of “visibility” in hair transplantation. You come to our clinic in the morning, your hair is transplanted with its current length (Long) without touching the length of your hair, and in the evening you return home as if you had just left the hairdresser. In this article, the “Business Class” of hair aesthetics unshaved hair transplant technology in all its details.
What is Long Hair FUE (Unshaved Hair Transplant)?
In the classical FUE method, the donor area (nape) must be shaved 1 size in order to collect the grafts (roots). The transplantation area where the canal will be opened is usually shaved as well.
However Long Hair FUE technique does not use scissors or a razor.
1. Donor Area The hair at the nape of the neck is removed in its long form by opening special windows or by selecting the hair between them.
2. Planting Area: These long hair strands are transferred between the existing hair in the area to be transplanted, again in their long form.
Result? As soon as you leave the operation, you will not see your “transplanted hair” in the mirror, but your “completed hair”. This is a “Preview” technology.
Who Should Choose Long Hair FUE?
This method is feasible for everyone, but for some patient groups it is not a “luxury” but a “necessity”. Here is the ideal candidate profile:
1. Senior Executives and Business People
You may not want to enter board meetings or client meetings with bandages and a shaved head. With Long Hair FUE, you can have the procedure on Friday and be back at work on Monday without anyone noticing.
2. Female Patients
For women, shaving their hair can be traumatic. This method is the biggest savior for those with female pattern hair loss. Since the hair is transplanted long in between, it is not visible from the outside.
3. Screen Faces and Artists
For people who are constantly in front of the camera or on stage, it is vital to hide the healing process. Long Hair FUE offers “Invisible Hair Transplantation”.
4. Those who want to Correct the Frontal Hairline (Frontal)
It is unnecessary to shave the whole head for those who have a forehead only. With a long transplant only in the frontal area, the hairline can be pulled down instantly.

Medlook Protocol: Why Only 1 Patient a Day?
Long Hair FUE is the “micro-surgery” of hair transplantation. Removing a long strand of hair without damaging the root and placing it in the canal without tangling it requires 3 times more attention and time than the classical method.
That's why Nisantasi Medlook Polyclinic‘Only our most senior (Senior) specialists enter Long Hair FUE operations and no other patients are admitted that day. The entire team and concentration is based on the comfort and outcome of a single patient.
Shock Shedding: Does Long Hair Fall Out?
Yes, we have to be honest here. It is medically wrong to say, “We planted it tall, it will always be like this.”.
1. First 1 Month (Honeymoon Period): Your hair will look long and great.
2. 2-4. Week: Those long transplanted hairs fall out as the roots enter the resting phase (trauma).
3. 3rd month: The roots wake up and your permanent hair starts to grow.
Advantage While you look “sick” for the first 1 month in classical transplantation, in Long Hair FUE you spend this period “with hair and well-groomed”.
