Through many years of experience, Dr. Diep invented his own FUE instruments and “DFC” Diep FUE Curve technique to harvest all type of hair, including curly hair roots of African origin, performing thousands of hair restoration transplantation, including celebrities in Beverly Hills, professional athletes throughout the United and famous wealthy people from different countries.
FUE Hair Transplant vs. Strip (FUT) method: The one method is called the traditional “Strip” harvesting and the other is FUE. Strip harvesting involves cutting a strip of skin in the back of your head and dissects it down under a microscope to each individual follicle before transplanting one graft at a time into the bald spot. The PRO for strip harvesting are: cheaper than FUE, move more hair at one time, called mega session performing up to 6,000 grafts per session per day and 5%-15% better yield than FUE method in term of harvesting and growth. The CON for Strip harvesting are: a little bit more invasive, possible numbness and a small line of scar in the back of the head. On the other hand, the (FUE) Follicular Unit of Extraction hair transplant means extracting one graft at a time from the donor site. The PRO for FUE are: LESS VISIBLE SCAR even when the head is shaved completely, LESS INVASIVE, less bleeding, less chance of numbness and less painful during recovery. Actually, there are many small punctated scars from the FUE method which scattered throughout the head and cannot easily be seen. The CON for FUE are: more expensive than the strip harvesting because it is more time consuming and more demanding on the skill and time of the surgeon. The other CON of FUE are; the maximum amount of graft that can be harvested in one sitting is limited to 2,000 grafts per day on straight hair but only 1,000 grafts for curly black African hair, the percent harvest and growth is around 5%-15% less than the strip method as there is more chance of injuring grafts and rare cyst formation which normally resolve by itself.

We have discussed the Dr. Diep’s 7 rules to recreate natural and dense hair line. Here are the Diep’s 7 rules:
1) URFUT: Transplant one refined hair graft per site. With thinner hair graft and less skin, we can increase density and decrease dimpling.
2) Establishing appropriate hair line for certain ethnics: The Caucasian/white men tend to have more narrow face and thus higher and “archier” hair line, while the Asian men tend to have rounder face and thus look more appropriate with lower and broader hairline.
3) Zigzag line: Zigzag hair line will look very natural, while a straight hair line will look too artificial.
4) Outliers: multiple single hair grafts placement in front of the hair line to achieve naturalness by softening the hair line.
5) Selection of hair grafts: Place single hair grafts in the frontal zone of the hair line to soften the hair line, followed by hair roots which produce 2-3-4 hairs in the back to add bulk and volume.
6) Specific Angle of hair placement: The hair angle starts out around 30o in the frontal area and increases in steepness toward the back. The hair angle changes toward the sides.
7) Random hair placement: In nature, hair grows randomly, no specific rows or group. The more random the hair placement, the more natural it will appear.

Hi Dr. Diep! I've noticed that in your past videos, you have given a couple of your patients widow peaks as well. In this case, you gave this patient a widows peak due to him naturally having one in the past. Do you also allow your patients the option to have a widows peak even if they didn't have one naturally in the past? I am looking forward to my surgery with you in June!
