  • If FUE (follicular unit extraction) is the method of choice and you are receiving over a  1000  grafts ( which today is a a common situation) the dermatologist would have to shave the donor areas to properly harvest the grafts. 
  • The donor area has to be shaved for any significant number of FUE grafts 
  • It is common not to shave the recipient areas for follicular unit hair transplants.
