I’m very interested in having an FUE hair transplant but I’m starting to get confused with all of the different FUE techniques being offered. Do I have a Neograft FUE  (which is extremely expensive), CIT or SAFE?  I also read something about FUE2 . Your website seems to be more straight forward then others and it seems that most FUE is very similar from what I am reading from your organization. I’d like to feel comfortable with my decision to move forward, but this is a big step for me and I keep reading conflicting information on other websites. Can you tell me the best FUE techniques and do you recommend FUE over FUT? Thank you for your time and I look forward to any answer that you can provide. ~Ross

There are no comprehensive studies yet on any of the technologies that you mentioned, the NeoGraft, FUE2, and the SAFE Scribe System. Read the Story

I am a 43 year old African American male, and I had a hair transplant when I was 33. I consider my hair transplant to be one of the worst decisions I ever made in my life. The doctor left me with visible bumps and scars on my head that look terrible.

My questions are:

Can African Americans transplant hair from one person to the next? And if so, what are the determining factors to gets this done?

Can African Americans have the FUE procedure done from person to person? If so, what are the determining factors? Also, do doctors know of known donors of hair for a fee?

Last question, if I could get some help where would I start? -Craig

Dear Craig,

I am sorry to learn that your experience with hair restoration surgery has not worked well for you.

Your question about transplanting from one person to another is one that prospective patients frequently ask. Unfortunately this cannot be done successfully regardless of ethnicity. The body always will reject foreign organisms, tissue or organs. Kidneys and hearts can be transplanted from one person to another but there has to be a very precise donor match. Even then the person with an organ transplant has to take powerful drugs to prevent rejection of the organ. Read the Story
