FUE for African American Hair

Question / Comments:
How effective is FUE on African-American hair? What are some of the challenges with African-American proceedures. I would like to have side-burns which I have minimum growth now. Is scarring more prevelant with darker skinned people?

Thanks for your responses.

FUE on African-American hair is very difficult to perform, but if you are serious, we can test your hair to find out how good a candidate you are. If your hair is kinky, you might not want kinky hair on the side burns. This is a real risk. Darker skinned people usually have more scarring risk, but this is not the case in the scalp as much as other parts of the body. As I have an office in San Jose and you indicated that you are there as well, you should come by for a visit. If, after the consultation you want to take the next step, then a biopsy would be indicated to determine your candidacy for FUE. Call my office at 800-NEW-HAIR to setup a free consultation.
