In recent years, the growing number of men suffering from hair loss has turned to FUE [hair follicle unit extraction] hair transplants to reliably reverse the signs of male pattern baldness. This procedure extracts hair follicles individually from more abundant areas of the scalp and embeds each in areas where hair is missing. Perhaps the most valuable benefit of FUE is that there is no linear scar remaining, unlike FUE's predecessor known as strip surgery [FUT]. Therefore, follicular unit extraction has become a very high-demand option among men who prefer to wear hair short.
Basic FUE hair transplant results generally yield excellent coverage and surprisingly natural results. However, when performing black male hair transplantation, special instruments and surgical protocols are required due to factors such as the unique shape of the hair follicle and the toughness of the tissue surrounding these small structures.
Limitations of traditional FUE hair restoration for black men
Despite the enthusiasm for the extraction of follicular units, the challenge of performing a successful hair transplant procedure for black men is a lesser known issue. Demographic members interested in hair loss surgery are encouraged to educate themselves about the limitations of traditional approaches.
The basic cylindrical design of classic FUE instrumentation is generally suitable for hair follicles that produce straight hair. At the same time, the function becomes a problem when it comes to extracting curved follicles, as in the case of patients with afro-textured hair.
In black men and women, the more curled the hair, the more aggressive the follicle curvature. Because of their shape, these small structures are at great risk of being damaged by the cylindrical punch shape of normal FUE equipment. And this leads to unfortunate growth, as damaged grafts cannot produce new hair.
In addition to curvature issues, another challenge for black patients is related to the thickness of the scalp tissue surrounding the hair follicle. Because of this density, the surgeon needs to apply a follicular unit extraction punch tool with greater force to cut around each follicle. This effect further contributes to graft damage.
Finally, the black male ethnic FUE flocking procedure is specially designed to overcome the follicle shape and tissue thickness hurdles to harvest viable grafts for desirable hair growth Requires an extraction tool designed for.
The need for preliminary FUE testing
With follicular unit extraction, the success rate of afro-textured hair patients is estimated to be about 30-40%. Black patients who can achieve the desired result using FUE usually have follicles with soft scalp tissue and straight shapes. Therefore, these individuals have a reduced risk of graft damage.
Black patients interested in hair follicle unit extraction performed using conventional FUE tools are encouraged to undergo a preliminary study. This will help determine the rate of transection [ie, graft damage] and eligibility for complete surgery. These tests can be thought of as miniature hair transplant procedures. A small number of follicles are extracted and inserted to determine if overall growth is desirable after a complete surgery.
FUE surgical tools specialized for African patients
To best meet the needs of hair loss patients, flocking is constantly evolving and includes special cases such as patients with afro-textured hair. Due to the structural challenges involved, special FUE devices are currently being designed to address these issues.
PRS Global Open published a 2016 study on a new FUE technology known as Dr.UPunch Curl. It is designed to safely remove the curved hair follicles of all black patients, including thick tissue on the scalp. This study compared the results of three different FUE extraction tools for 18 patients with tightly curled afro-textured hair.
1. Conventional sharp rotary punch
2. Dull rotary punch
3. Bipolar non-rotating punch
Curved non-rotating punches have been found to perform best of the three with a disconnection [graft damage] rate of less than 5%.
Using special follicle extraction techniques such as Dr.UPunchCurl, no preliminary testing is required to perform flocking operations on individuals with afro-textured hair.
Instead of a traditional cylindrical punch tip that operates via a rotational movement, this instrument is constructed with a sharp double-sided structure [like tweezers] that cuts the tissue around the hair follicle [imagining a banana shape] ], Safely grasp from both sides.
With this approach, the graft is not damaged. When inserted into the epilation recipient area, healthy and intact hair follicles can thrive in new environments and produce new hair.
Signs of growth usually begin to appear around 3 or 4 months after surgery. Continuous improvement lasts for up to 18 months.
So what kind of hair transplant costs are expected for black male patients? The overall cost of such a procedure varies from case to case. Individuals should consider factors such as the number of donor grafts required and long-term plans for future hair loss.
By choosing a special approach that meets the needs exactly from the start, ethnic and special case patients can feel strong confidence from the beginning of the trip rather than investing in surgery. the end.
