The Afro Technique® has been developed and patented by the doctors at Istanbul Vita Clinic, and what makes this technique unique is its innovative approach to donor analysis and grafting for natural hairline and look. Everyone knows that hair transplant on afro texture requires specific expertise, and that is why the surgeons at Istanbul Vita Clinic are experienced in the technique of Afro Technique® for afro hair transplant.

Apart from the Afro Technique® there are other techniques for hair transplant at Istanbul Vita Clinic, such as Vita Technique®, Two Days FUE, Sapphire FUE, DHI, Combined FUE & DHI, and Long Hair FUE.

Advanced Care & Support Treatments

A few of the advanced supportive treatment facilities available at Istanbul Vita Clinic that help to make the process more comfortable for the international patients. In addition to the advanced procedures of hair transplantation, the clinic also uses a variety of advanced technologies, such as the stem cell technique, which helps to restore damaged tissues, increase hair density and ensure proper grafts. VITA Pain Management ensures that there is no pain felt during the entire process because of the sedation techniques applied.

Before the procedure, the patients are supposed to undertake several medical exams that may include taking of the blood test and also conducting of EKG tests. PRP and mesotherapy are two of the most common techniques employed to stimulate the follicles and enhance their density. In addition, the IceGraft procedure is adopted as a way of protecting the grafts. Medical products such as shampoo, lotion, and many others provided in the aftercare kit are supposed to be used for an improved experience after the procedure.

Afro Technique®

The Afro Technique® is an innovative hair treatment technique invented and patented only for those individuals having curly or coily hair texture by Istanbul Vita Clinic. In contrast to other hair transplant techniques, it considers peculiarities of afro hair growth which has the spiral shape of the follicular units under the skin. Therefore, traditional techniques will be insufficient to provide hair with a natural direction and density as extraction from such hair is rather complicated due to its unique structure. Owing to microscopic planning, angle control, and individualized grafting, Afro Technique® guarantees impressive outcomes despite extraction difficulties.

What distinguishes Afro Technique® from others is a special extraction process involving 0.6-0.7 mm sapphire punches. Hair specialists extract hair follicles without any damage of surrounding areas since spiral hair growth makes the process more difficult. Besides, due to the spiral growth of Afro hair, surgeons need to use more precision than usual while extracting hair. The benefits of using such a special instrument are that it leads to lower risks of scaring, healthy tissue conservation, and increased survival rates of grafts. Furthermore, patients do not have to face scabbing and pain during or after surgery.

The implantation process for the Afro Technique® procedure requires complete control of angles, directions, and depths of graft placements based on the curling tendency of the hair strand. With this procedure, there is a sophisticated mapping of the scalp that is done through an analysis of the donor site (D1-D4) and the recipient site (F1-F6). The donor site undergoes a very thorough analysis in order to ensure maximum density hair extraction with no overextraction. The recipient site is mapped according to facial harmony and afro hairlines. There is also consideration for the frontal hairline (F1), which consists of single hair implants.

In contrast to classic FUE and DHI techniques, the Afro Technique® offers better natural results when it comes to density control in Afro-textured hair. The classical FUE and DHI technique can only provide maximum density of 35-45 grafts per square centimeter, whereas the Afro technique permits density planning up to 80-100 grafts per square centimeter according to the availability of donor hair. Thus, high density is possible using a natural-looking approach since curly hair always looks denser.

Aside from aesthetic impacts, the Afro Technique® procedure is also very effective in terms of healing efficiency. The use of Sapphire micro-channels, which measure between 0.6 to 0.8 millimeters in size, causes little to no damage, allows for rapid recovery in just five to seven days, and ensures there will be no potential complications. With the combination of clinical accuracy, afro hair knowledge, and surgical planning, the Afro Technique® has been identified as a highly efficient technique for afro hair transplant Turkey.

It is important to note that the cost is not dependent on the number of grafts.

Istanbul Vita Educates Future Hair Transplant Specialists
