What Are the Differences Between the Incision Method and the Non-Shaven, No-Cut Method?

Are you worried about hair constantly falling out these days? If more than 100 hairs fall out in a day, you may want to suspect symptoms of hair loss. If it is hard to count that, gently pull 8 to 10 hairs with your fingers; if 4 or more come out, there is a high chance that hair loss is progressing.

Hair loss is progressive, so it is better to address it early. If hair volume is visibly lacking, hair loss may already be at an advanced stage. These days, many people are considering aesthetic improvement through hair transplantation. Hair transplantation can be done by either the incision method or the non-incision method.

Among them, the non-incision method places less burden on incision, and the non-shaven, no-cut method in particular may be helpful for those who feel a strong burden about incision because it transplants hair as it is. Today, we will briefly look at the non-shaven, no-cut method and how it differs from the incision method.

What is hair transplantation?

Hair loss does not have a concept of a complete cure. That is why efforts to prevent hair loss are necessary. These days, many people are also considering hair transplantation to improve hair loss. Hair transplantation is a hair loss treatment method that mainly involves collecting follicles, the hair roots from the back of the head, and transplanting them to the hair loss area. It is usually performed by extracting follicles from another area and planting them in the front hairline, depending on the need for around 500 to 500 grafts.

✅ Hair transplantation is for the following people

• People concerned about hair loss in specific areas such as the forehead line, hairline, crown, or part

• People concerned about male pattern hair loss such as M-shaped, O-shaped, or crown hair loss

• People whose hair is becoming thinner and whose hair density is visibly decreasing

• People with naturally thin hair or a low amount of hair

• People who need hairline correction, forehead reduction, or facial shape improvement

Hair transplantation methods - incision hair transplantation vs non-incision hair transplantation

Hair transplantation surgery can be broadly divided into the incision method and the non-incision method.

There is no single method that is better; the appropriate method may differ depending on each patient’s degree of hair loss and the direction of improvement they want.

✅ Incision hair transplantation

The incision method involves cutting out a scalp area corresponding to the number of follicles needed and then suturing it.

Because an incision is made, scarring can occur. Pain and recovery time are relatively longer, and stitch removal is necessary. It is suitable for people with a wide area of hair loss, and incision hair transplantation may be considered when a large-volume transplant is needed.

✅ Non-incision hair transplantation

The non-incision method is a procedure in which follicles are individually extracted and transplanted directly using a punch device or similar tools without cutting the scalp.

The burden of scars is lower than with the incision method, but the surgery takes longer. It also has the advantage of looking more natural aesthetically, but it is not suitable for those who need a large-volume transplant.

Non-shaven, no-cut method

If you do not need a large-volume transplant, you may consider a non-incision hair transplantation method depending on the individual.

Among non-incision methods, interest is growing in the non-shaven, no-cut method, which places no burden on shaving the scalp.

As the name suggests, because follicles are extracted one by one without shaving, it is hardly noticeable even after surgery, and you can expect a natural styling effect.

1. Design and preparation: Based on individual consultation, the area requiring transplantation and the location of follicles to be extracted from the back of the head are designed.

2. Follicle extraction: After local anesthesia, follicles are extracted one by one using a punch device without incision.

3. Follicle separation and preparation: The extracted follicles are carefully separated and prepared for transplantation to the hair loss area.

4. Follicle transplantation: Follicles are transplanted into the recipient area with a natural direction and density.

5. Postoperative recovery: Postoperative care is important to increase the survival rate of the transplanted follicles. In the case of the non-shaven, no-cut method, there is less concern about scarring, so free styling is possible even after transplantation.

Conclusion

So far, we have looked at the non-shaven, no-cut method.

In hair transplantation, it is important to collect and transplant as much hair as possible in a short amount of time. Therefore, the skill of the medical staff is important.

It is not simply a matter of transplanting hair; the procedure should be designed appropriately for each individual while considering scalp condition, hair direction, and density in order to expect natural hair transplantation results.
