    Default Is Hair Transplantation Different with African Hair than for Other Ethnicities?

    Bernstein Medical's Dr. Wolfeld touches on FUE hair transplantation for black and African patients and on the ARTAS Robot's ability to perform follicular unit extraction with afro-textured hair.




    Excerpt:
    Dr. Wolfeld: Yes, it is different. Hair transplantation can be performed with [African] hair.

    However, because [it] hair may be kinkier or more textured than [hair of other ethnicities], it just makes the procedure a little bit different.

    We can also do robotic hair transplant procedures on [black and African] patients. Our robotic system, which is the ARTAS robotic system, knows how to identify [afro-textured] hair to adequately harvest the grafts for proper hair transplantation.
