African-American Hair Loss
When it comes to African-American men and women, our Medical Team understands that there is virtually
no difference in how hair transplantation is performed when compared to other ethnicities. "The entire procedure is approached the
same way” according to our Director of Medical Procedures and Surgical Operations. "When done by a skilled and experienced surgical
team, African-Americans have very successful procedures and results”.
There is one very relevant difference in hairline styles
though. And every patient collaborates with our surgical team to put together the perfect restoration program to achieve the best
results!
Our medical facility has performed thousands of hair transplant procedures on African-American patients and they enjoy
some natural advantages. Both men and women often have better results with their hair transplants because the natural curl and coarseness
of the hair gives the illusion of more thickness and density. However, this concept also holds true for other ethnicities that have
similar hair types as well.
"The curly hair comes out in sort of a layering effect by lying on top of each other. Therefore giving
a fuller appearance” according to our Director.
Our facility is seeing an increase in African-American patients due to Traction Alopecia which causes permanent hair loss due to braiding and weaves that pull out the hair and cause permanent damage to the hair
follicle. Another cause of hair loss is harsh chemicals for straightening and coloring...etc.
Those with traction alopecia often
require 600 to 800 hair grafts in the temple and frontal regions. Traction alopecia hair transplant patients should definitely change
their hair style to a looser and less constricting style that does not pull or damage the new hair grafts.
The only way traction
alopecia can be treated is with hair transplants. It is a completely natural and very aesthetically pleasing way to restore hair
loss back to its original appearance.
