Zero Shave FUE. The first hair transplant for women in which neither the donor nor the recipient area needs to be shaved. Developed specifically for women. Up to 3,500 grafts in a single procedure. 100% discretion.
After the procedure, no one can tell that a treatment has taken place. You return home with long, unchanged hair.
With every classic hair transplant, one thing has always applied: the donor area at the back of the head must be at least partially shaved so that the grafts can be extracted with precision. Even with the so-called hair transplant without shaving, only the recipient area was spared. The donor area remained visibly shaved for weeks.
For many women, this was precisely the reason to delay treatment or forgo it altogether. The fear of a visible shaved patch at the back of the head, impossible to hide under hair worn loose, has stopped thousands from having their hair loss treated.
Zero Shave FUE makes this limitation a thing of the past for the first time. The grafts are extracted directly from the unshaved hair and implanted without any shaving whatsoever. 0% shaving. Neither in the donor area nor in the recipient area.
The only method in the world in which neither the donor nor the recipient area is shaved. Here you can see a direct comparison with classic DHI without shaving and FUE Long Hair.

Zero Shave FUE was developed specifically for women who are not well served by the classic methods. Three profiles benefit in particular.
From first contact to the final result. Here is how your Zero Shave FUE treatment at Elithair works.
You upload 3 to 4 photos of your hair situation or book a video consultation. Our specialists assess whether Zero Shave FUE is suitable for you. Within 24 hours you receive an honest assessment with an individual treatment plan and graft recommendation.
VIP transfer from the airport, check-in at the clinic’s own Elit Hotel, a personal pre-consultation with Dr Balwi the following day. You should plan for 2 to 3 days in Istanbul. Everything is organised, you need not worry about a thing.
The grafts are extracted directly from your unshaved donor area and placed in the thinning recipient areas without any shaving. Duration: 6 to 8 hours. Thanks to the Sleep-Deep method, it is completely pain-free and relaxed.
The following day, a PRP treatment and a detailed aftercare briefing. On departure, there are no visible traces whatsoever. The Elithair app supports you over the weeks and months until the final result.
A hair transplant for women without shaving costs from £2,799 at Elithair as an all-inclusive package. The exact price depends on your individual graft count. For women, the requirement is typically between 1,500 and 3,500 grafts, depending on the extent of the hair loss.
With more than 160,000 successful treatments, Elithair is the largest hair clinic in the world. Dr Abdulaziz Balwi developed the Zero Shave FUE method in his own research and development laboratory. It is available exclusively from us.
Our specialists will check, free of charge and with no obligation, whether Zero Shave FUE is the right method for you. Reply within 24 hours. You upload 3 to 4 photos of your hairline and the back of your head, we analyse them and get back to you.
Yes, with Zero Shave FUE at Elithair. Neither the donor nor the recipient area is shaved. The grafts are extracted directly from the unshaved hair and placed in the thinning areas without shaving. With no other method are both possible at the same time.
Up to 3,500 grafts in a single procedure. Other methods without shaving, in particular FUE Long Hair, are usually limited to around 1,500 grafts. That is generally only enough for very small areas and not for full densification.
No. At Elithair, the Zero Shave FUE treatment costs the same as the classic method. Everything is included in the all-inclusive package from £2,799. German clinics usually charge a 30 to 50% surcharge for comparable unshaved methods.
Yes. As there is no visible shaving and the recipient area stays covered by existing hair, you can return to working life immediately after your journey home. Most patients are back to their everyday routine as early as the third day after treatment.
The DHI method without shaving leaves only the recipient area unshaved. The donor area at the back of the head is still shaved and remains visible for weeks. Zero Shave FUE shaves nothing. This means the treatment stays completely invisible from the outside, even under hair worn loose.
It is particularly suited to women with hormonally induced hair loss or thinning areas along the central parting. The prerequisite is a sufficiently dense donor area at the back of the head. A free hair analysis within 24 hours shows whether the method is right for you.
The Zero Shave FUE treatment takes 6 to 8 hours depending on the graft count. You are pain-free throughout the entire treatment thanks to Sleep-Deep and can doze off in comfort. In total, you should plan for 2 to 3 days in Istanbul.
The first new hairs sprout after 3 to 4 months. The final result is achieved after 12 to 18 months: denser, naturally grown hair in the treated areas, with no one able to tell that a treatment has taken place.
