The Afro Technique® procedure has been innovated and patented by the medical team of Istanbul Vita Clinic. This procedure adopts an advanced technique of donor area analysis and grafting of afro textured hair, and all these are done in pursuit of creating a natural hairline. In fact, the transplantation of afro hair requires advanced knowledge, which explains why the specialists at Istanbul Vita Clinic have extensive experience with Afro Technique®.

Advanced Care & Support Treatments

Here are some of the supportive technologies offered by Istanbul Vita Clinic to make sure that the experience of international patients becomes even more comfortable. Aside from advanced hair transplantation procedures, the clinic offers several other types of modern technology, including the utilization of stem cells to treat and help regenerate hair growth. This is made possible by means of pain management known as VITA Pain Management, which means that sedation techniques are used during hair transplantation.

Before the procedure, it is anticipated that the patients will undergo several medical tests, such as blood tests and EKG tests. Among the popular techniques are PRP and mesotherapy used for follicle stimulation and hair density increase. Also, the IceGraft technique is applied for the protection of grafts. The post-procedure care kit is provided to the patients with shampoos, lotions, and medical equipment to improve their post-procedure experience. Additionally, the importance of hygienic practices includes sterilizing the procedure room using UV rays to kill the microorganisms.

Afro Technique®

Afro Technique® is one of the most innovative approaches that has been developed and patented by Istanbul Vita Clinic solely for individuals with curly, coily, or afro-textured hair. Different from common hair transplantation techniques, the approach considers unique hair texture of afro people characterized by spiral or curly follicles under the skin. Therefore, traditional techniques might not be enough to ensure natural direction and density after extraction considering the peculiarities of afro hair texture. Due to microscopic planning, angle control, and personalized grafting, Afro Technique® demonstrates impressive outcomes regardless of difficulties connected with extraction.

Among the unique properties of Afro Technique® is a special extraction technique utilizing 0.6-0.7 mm sapphire punches. In such a way, surgeons can effectively separate hair follicle units without affecting other body tissues. Besides, owing to spiral and curly growth of Afro hair, the process of extraction becomes even more complicated since it requires increased accuracy. Some advantages of a special tool include a reduced chance of scar formation, maintaining healthy tissues, and increasing the possibility of grafts survival. Moreover, a specific tool allows patients to avoid adverse effects like pain and scabs.

The implantation of Afro Technique® is done through full control of the angle, direction, and placement of the grafts based on the natural curling patterns of the hair. For this procedure, the scalp undergoes a very sophisticated analysis concerning the donor (D1-D4) and recipient (F1-F6) sites. For the donor site, there is an analysis done to facilitate maximum extraction of hair without undergoing over extraction. The recipient site analysis includes mapping according to facial harmony and afro hairline. The frontal hairline (F1), made up of single hair implants, is also taken into consideration.

Unlike Classic FUE and DHI techniques, the Afro Technique® yields much more natural results with proper density planning in afro-textured hair. In Classic FUE and DHI techniques, the maximum number of grafts that can be transplanted is between 35 and 45 grafts per square centimeter, while in the Afro technique, a density planning with up to 80-100 grafts per square centimeter is possible based on the donor availability.

Not only aesthetic advantages but also efficiency in treatment is provided by the Afro Technique®. Using Sapphire micro-channels whose size varies from 0.6 to 0.8 mm, the procedure minimizes harm, reduces healing period to five-seven days, and considerably decreases risks of encountering any problems during or after the procedure. Thanks to the combination of medical precision, understanding of afro-textured hair, and advanced surgery planning, Afro Technique® has become an incredibly effective technique for afro hair transplant Turkey.
