Today, the most commonly used hair transplant techniques for African American hair transplant are follicular unit extraction (FUE) and direct hair transplant (DHI) methods. Both of these hair transplant methods use cutting edge techniques and technology.
Depending on the degree of hair loss, your surgeon’s preference and experience, and your opinion the FUE or DHI method can be suitable for your hair transplant operation. The FUE option is much more preferred for an ethnic hair transplant because it provides more control over the transplant direction and angle of the hair grafts.
FUE hair transplant for afro hair
The FUE hair transplant for afro hair is the most commonly preferred hair transplant method because of the high success ratio, natural results, and ease of operation. Because African American hair type shows a distinct curly shape, the FUE method is perfect for extracting hair grafts without damaging the structure. In this method, hair follicles are extracted individually by using the manual punch technique or a punch tool. Next, your surgeon creates micro incisions to prepare the target area for transplant. Each hair graft is then transplanted into these tiny incisions carefully.
DHI hair transplant for afro hair
The DHI hair transplant method is very similar to the FUE method. The hair grafts are also extracted individually as the first step; however, a special tool called the Choi pen is used for the transplanting step. The individual hair grafts are loaded into this pen and then transplanted without the need for creating incisions at the transplant area. At Vantage Hair Restoration, our expert team utilizes Choi Pen in some afro hair transplant cases to improve the density of hairline.
