Hair Transplants For Asian Men

It’s a common belief that men of Asian ancestry and heritage, have a considerably higher resistance to hair thinning and baldness then their Caucasian cousins. However, after extensive scientific research, this well known fact has know been dismissed. For absolutely indeterminate reasons, baldness and thinning is becoming increasingly notorious amongst the population of people that are of Asian descent. A result of this, there is now a rapidly expanding demand for surgical hair transplants for Asian men.

Albeit that each and every culture has their alternative medicinal beliefs and favors, the previously preferred method of holistic and herbal measures that is commonly found within the Asian communities are no longer working as effectively for hair restoration. In many cases more acute methods are required and moreover Asian men are turning to surgical hair transplants as their medicinal cure.

There are a variety of different methods of hair transplants available to anyone of an Asian descent, yet it’s often beneficial that before choosing the correct method, there’s a deeper comprehension behind the suitable transplants for Asian hair and how Asian hair is formed.

Which transplantation method is best for Asian men?

There are many differences between hair types relative to different ethnicities and Asian hair. Surprisingly, Asian’s have the broadest and thickest of all of the scalp follicles that you’ll find amongst any of the variable descendent groups. However, somewhat more surprisingly, this may give the appearance of density, but it is actually not the case. This in turn, as is the situation with Hispanic hair, can be problematic in providing fewer suitable donor extraction sites in the offset.

With all this being said, patients of Asian heritage and descent are also the perfect candidate for an Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant. Despite the thickness of the actual hair follicles, they pretty much exclusively grow unconditionally straight. This is perfect for extraction purposes and invariably will create a much lower breakage rate resulting in a higher graft survival rate

Additionally, it is maybe also interesting to note that the diameter of the needle used for the Follicular Unit Extraction is also minutely adjustable, enabling it to be suitable for slightly more resiliant, tenacious and considerably thicker follicles.

Finally, and to summarize, owing to the predictability of it’s nature, Asian hair is the absolute and optimal candidate for an FUE hair transplant and offers a high success rate when performed in a professional and regulative manner.
