Hair Transplant

Short Hair DHI

Restore natural density, confident from every angle

9 MONTH

Short Hair (Shaven / Short-Cut Hair Transplant)

The standard hair transplant technique, which requires trimming the hair at the back (Donor Area) or shaving part of the head so that grafts can be extracted and harvested easily.

Short Hair FUE does not always mean “shaving the entire head” — in general, the hair at the back can be cut in one of 2 styles depending on what suits each client.

1. Shave (Full Shave)

Style: The whole head is shaved to a very short buzz cut.

Advantages: The fastest and most convenient option for the doctor, making it easiest to harvest grafts and assess hair direction and density.

Best for: Men who like a very short skinhead style, or those who need a large number of grafts (3,000–4,000+ grafts).

2. Par-Shave (Hidden Strip Shave)

Style: Only a small strip at the back is shaved, then the longer hair on top is combed down to cover it.

Advantages: The back of the head looks normal right away, without shaving the whole head.

Best for: Those with medium-length or longer hair on top who need a moderate number of grafts (1,500–2,500 grafts).

Graft Harvesting

Grafts are harvested using the FUE technique, with a small punch used around each follicular unit at the back of the head. This technique leaves small wounds and allows quick recovery. Fine forceps are then used to extract the hair roots, which come out with short hairs of about 1–2 mm attached.

Implantation

At MP Clinic, every case is implanted using the DHI technique. The short-hair grafts are loaded into the needle tip of an Implanter Pen and the doctor presses the pen into the scalp to release the graft into the skin in a single step, without making incisions beforehand. This allows precise control of the direction, angle and depth of each hair.

Suitable for

  • Those who need a large number of grafts (e.g. more than 2,500–3,000 grafts)
  • Those with a limited budget (a more affordable price per graft)
  • Men who usually keep their hair short

Not suitable for

  • Those who cannot shave or cut their hair short because they need to return to work right away
  • Those who want the wounds to be hidden immediately after the procedure

Hair Transplant

Short Hair DHI Male customer
  • A 22-year-old Thai customer with a receding forehead on both sides in an M shape came to consult with Dr. Peera at MP Clinic Chiang Mai in January 2024. After coming in, the doctor performed an endoscopic examination of the hair roots to find the cause of the hair loss and assess the severity before planning a treatment.

    Before hair transplant

    After the endoscopic examination, the doctor stated that Mr. Woramet had a level 2 baldness problem. The appropriate treatment is hair transplant surgery using 1740 grafts. Mr. Woramet’s hair roots in the donor area are strong and dense, so he can be treated with hair transplant surgery immediately.

  • A 46-year-old customer from the United States of America had a problem with both sides of her forehead receding in an M shape. He came to consult with Dr. Peera at MP Clinic Chiang Mai in November 2023. After coming in, the doctor performed an endoscopic examination of the hair roots to find the cause of the hair loss and assess the severity level before planning a treatment.

    Before hair transplant

    After the endoscopic examination, the doctor stated that the customer had a level 4 baldness problem. The appropriate treatment was hair transplant surgery using 2800 grafts. The health of the customer’s hair roots in the donor area was weak. It was necessary to receive hair root nourishment and medication first. The doctor therefore prescribed the customer a tonic and scheduled a hair transplant in January 2024.

    5 months after hair transplant

    After 5 months, it was found that the new hair was healthy and growing thicker, making the customer’s face frame more defined and allowing her to style her hair with confidence.

    10 months after hair transplant

    Entering the second year, the customer decided to undergo hair transplant surgery on the center of the head with the same doctor.

    In this consultation, the doctor checked and examined the hair follicles at the back of the head with a camera to see if there were enough hairs to transplant.

    After the doctor checked and saw that it was still possible to have a second round of hair transplant, the doctor still recommended a DHI hair transplant using the same technique as the first hair transplant. This time, the doctor assessed from the hair at the back and the area where the hair would be transplanted that approximately 1,300 grafts could be transplanted.

    And the hair transplant appointment is in November 2024.

Short Hair FAQ

You can wash your hair yourself at home from day 9 onwards (gently, following the doctor’s advice). The trimmed hair at the back takes about 2–4 weeks to grow back to a natural short length that others won’t notice.
When extraction is performed by an experienced doctor who distributes the grafts evenly (not too densely in one spot), the tiny 0.8–1.0 mm extraction wounds heal into very small dots that are invisible to the naked eye once the hair grows longer.
You can wear a loose-fitting hat, or the hat provided by the clinic, about 1 day after the procedure, to avoid fabric pressing against the transplanted grafts. However, do not wear a tight cap during the first 2 weeks.
You will feel only slight pain during the anesthetic injection in the first 1–2 minutes. You will not feel any pain during the procedure. Afterwards, you may feel some tightness or soreness at the back of the head for the first 1–3 days, which can be relieved with regular pain medication.
During the first week, we recommend sleeping with a U-shaped neck pillow to keep your head on your back and slightly raised, preventing the transplanted area from rubbing against the pillow.
Light exercise (such as brisk walking) is possible 2 weeks after the procedure. For sports with heavy sweating, weight training or swimming, we recommend waiting about 1 month so the hair roots are firmly anchored and to prevent infection from sweat.
