How does it work?

During your consultation, Dr. Max will decide if a Manual procedure or ARTAS iX® Robotic FUE is the best route to go for your situation. You will discuss your main areas of concern and create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique goals and preferences.
01
Initial Consultation
The donor area of the scalp will be prepped. Local anesthesia will then be administered, thus making the procedure completely painless.
02
Prepping
At your initial consultation, you and Dr. Max will decide on the best treatment method considering the characteristics of your hair and any health concerns. Although it’s different for every patient, NeoGraft® Hair Transplant is typically the recommended procedure for coarse and curly hair.
03
Donor Hair Extraction
When it comes to African American & Caribbean hair transplants, proper technique is necessary to compensate for the difference in the shape of the hair follicle. These hair follicles tend to be C-shaped rather than wavy or straight, thus the hair restoration physician must know how to harvest the FUs without damaging them. Dr. Max has mastered this technique of FUE extraction.
04
Account For Hair Uniqueness
Micro-incisions in the balding area (fine needle or micro scalpel) and graft placement in the incisions. We can also utilize a direct implantation method for most cases.
05
Implantation
The results of the procedure can be best seen as soon as six months after the surgery.
06
Final Results

BENEFITS OF FUE VS. FUT

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) transplants for African Americans have quickly become the preferred method over previous FUT procedures. Here’s why:

  • Dramatically decreases the risk of hypertrophic or keloid scarring
  • Tiny, virtually undetectable scars
  • Ability to take donor hair from anywhere on the head
  • Faster recovery
  • Natural looking results
Dr. Max can even repair previous FUT scars by strategically placing new follicles into the scar tissue leftover from a previous transplant.
