It’s hard to deny that the best hair transplant method for permanent relief is a follicular unit extraction procedure. Few other types of hair transplant techniques can offer the same long-term results. FUE extraction tools of the past greatly limited the types of hair able to be excised effectively. This left most patients of African descent out in the cold - service providers would often administer a pre-test to determine whether or not the coiled hair of Afro-textured patients would be something their FUE equipment could handle. This left many precluded from FUE hair replacement with few options of recourse aside from much more invasive forms of hair restoration like strip surgery, which is known for the prominent scars it tends to leave.

What is follicular unit extraction? The FUE hair replacement method involves the extraction of individual donor grafts with something called an FUE punch. Dr. U’s patented FUE system, Dr.UGraft ™, makes use of a flared FUE punch that is optimized not only to address the challenges associated with Afro-textured hair transplant and BHT body hair transplant, but also to minimize FUE scarring and increase graft yield and graft regrowth rate in all types of FUE hair surgery.

A Dr.UGraft ™ FUE procedure requires no hair pre-test. As the first generation of FUE technology able to work with all types of Afro-textured hair from any part of the body, Dr.UGraft ™ is making FUE hair restoration an option for all patients. To learn more about how Dr. U’s design endows Dr.UGraft ™ with the dexterity to accommodate the needs of every patient, check out this short video on FUE punch type released by our office in Redondo Beach, California.
