Hyderabad, India – Patients battling genetic baldness now have access to an advanced restoration technique that offers natural-looking results without shaving or trimming hair, thanks to Hyderabad-based Trichos Hair Transplant Institute & Research Center. The clinic, led by noted hair transplant surgeon Dr. John Watts, has emerged as a pioneer in Long Hair Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Transplant in South India.
The Long Hair Transplant approach allows patients to undergo restoration discreetly by retaining their existing natural hair length. Unlike conventional methods, the innovative technique ensures the recipient area remains virtually unnoticeable.
“Our success in implementing Long Hair Transplants is attributed to meticulous study and expertise gained from adopting global leaders in the field, including Dr. Jae Hyun Park and Dr. Sanusi Umar,” said Dr. John Watts, Chief Hair Transplant Surgeon at Trichos. He added, “We are proud to bring this breakthrough to South India, providing hope and confidence to countless individuals seeking effective hair restoration solutions.”
Renowned South Korean surgeon Dr. Jae Hyun Park, pioneer of the Long Hair FUE method and Dr. Sanusi Umar, MD, the developer of the UGraft Zeus system, have influenced many of the institute’s practices. Dr. John Watts, considered one of the leading experts in this speciality, has refined these methods in Hyderabad, making cutting-edge solutions accessible to patients across India.
Advanced Tools: No Shave Long Hair FUE Hair Transplant
Long Hair FUE, also known as Non-Shaven FUE (NS-FUE), is performed using advanced surgical tools like the patented open window punch designed by Dr. Park or the UGraft Zeus system developed by Dr Umar. These instruments minimize follicle damage and ensure precision in extracting long donor grafts. The process follows the surgical principle of “first out, first in,” where each graft is implanted immediately after harvesting, reducing out-of-body time and preserving graft health.
The UGraft Zeus system, a state-of-the-art Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) device developed and patented by Dr. Sanusi Umar, MD, is particularly notable for its ability to extract long hair follicles of any shape, type, or texture—including curly and Afro-textured hair. Equipped with intelligent depth control, a flared-tip punch, expanded inner volume, upward pulling action, and fluid irrigation for hands-free ejection, it reduces follicle damage to negligible levels and creates smaller, less visible scars compared to traditional FUE systems. This innovation enables doctors to perform long hair transplants without shaving the patient’s head, offering an immediate natural look.
Suitability: Non-Shaven Long Hair Transplant
The Long Hair Transplant technique is ideal for both men and women who prefer not to trim their hair before surgery. It caters particularly to professionals, brides-to-be, and those seeking to keep their cosmetic treatment confidential. Medical experts recommend Non-Shaven Long Hair FUE for refining delicate areas such as eyebrows, sideburns, and hairlines.
Patients opting for Long Hair FUE can experience full aesthetic results instantly after the procedure. This procedure is suitable for those facing time-sensitive events such as weddings or professional requirements. While particularly popular among women, the procedure is also effective for men covering smaller bald patches inconspicuously.
Not all individuals are suitable candidates. Experts stress the importance of patient evaluation, donor hair assessment, and realistic outcome expectations. Since the procedure is technically demanding, it requires extended surgical hours, specialized instruments, and highly skilled surgeons.
The cost of Non-Shaven Long Hair Transplant varies depending on graft count, time, surgical complexity, and the infrastructure involved. Challenges involve greater surgical effort, reliance on advanced equipment, longer procedure times, and higher costs compared to conventional FUE.
