FUE with Longer Hair

I am very interested in getting a HT using the latest FUE2 technique. I have a few questions regarding the technique. I know that performing FUE with longer hair takes more time than standard FUE. If I choose not to shave my hair, I wonder if the fee is higher and how many grafts can be transplanted in one session.

Thank you very much for your response.

The price per graft does not depend upon the amount of hair you allow me to shave. If you look at the photos below, you will see that there is a limited amount of hair that I can take. We might be able to get 500-700 grafts without heavily clipping the hair in the head if your densities are good. Much higher numbers of grafts can be extracted with more hair clipping.

The fee for follicular unit extraction (FUE) is $8/graft for surgeries done by Dr. Pak in our Los Angeles office — and this is a special rate valid until November 30, 2008. This uses our new FUE² technique.
