Usually not; most female procedures are unshaven. Read more

Hair transplant questions from American patients
Many Americans first research a hair transplant in Turkey. The questions they ask are the same ones they ask Turkish clinics — how much it costs, whether it hurts, how long recovery takes — plus a new one: can I get the same result in America? The answer is yes. Our Turkish-trained, Florida-licensed surgeons perform the same Sapphire FUE and unshaven FUE techniques in South Florida, with in-person follow-up.
