At Unshaven Hair Clinic, Dr. Ross Kopelman helps patients achieve natural-looking results with advanced, shaveless FUE hair transplant procedures planned around your goals, not your graft count.
The clinic does not charge per graft. Pricing reflects your full restoration plan, clarified during a consultation with Dr. Ross Kopelman.
Your donor area is evaluated to select individual follicles matching existing hair direction, texture, and density.
Every patient has a finite number of healthy follicles. Quality, thickness, and texture determine how far donor hair can go.
Age, facial structure, density, and growth direction all factor into a seamless, natural looking hairline plan.
Many patients in NYC choose FUE for discreet, natural looking results. Dr. Ross Kopelman evaluates both methods based on donor hair, scalp elasticity, and patient goals to select the optimal approach.
| Factor | FUE (Unshaven Method) | FUT (Strip Method) |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction | Individual follicles, one at a time | Strip of scalp removed from donor area |
| Scarring | Minimal, no linear scar | Visible linear scar |
| Recovery | Shorter, minimal downtime | Longer healing period |
| Grafts per session | Tailored to plan | Can yield more grafts per session |
| Shaving required | No shaveless approach available | Yes |
| Best suited for | Discreet, natural-looking results | Larger single-session coverage needs |
Each follicle is carefully extracted to minimize scarring and preserve surrounding hair, then placed to follow your natural hairline and growth pattern. Performed under local anesthesia, most patients leave the same day and return to normal activity within days.
Local anesthesia with mild sedation, followed by extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor area.
Follicles are implanted into thinning or bald areas to match the natural hair direction Dr. Kopelman designs with you.
Proper density and placement support long term hair growth, blending naturally with surrounding hair.
Healing begins within the first 7–10 days. Hair growth follows over the months ahead, with full, mature results typically visible between 12 and 18 months.
| Timeframe | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Days 7–10 | Initial healing occurs. Small scabs may form around transplanted hairs and donor sites, typically resolving without scarring. |
| Months 3–6 | Hair growth begins in earnest, with noticeable, visible results starting to appear. |
| Months 12–18 | Full results mature as transplanted hairs thicken, supporting long term density and natural looking coverage. |
| Ongoing | Gentle washing, avoiding tight hairstyles, and protecting the scalp from sun and friction sustain long-term results. |
Unshaven Hair Clinic offers flexible financing options. Installment plans and third party financing allow patients to manage hair transplant costs in NYC comfortably. Your total price depends on your treatment plan and donor hair availability.
