Hair Transplant Techniques Offered by Istanbul Vita Clinic

One of the most advanced techniques employed by Istanbul Vita Clinic is the Afro Technique®. This particular technique is considered one of the most advanced when it comes to the process of hair transplantation in afro texture. This technique has been patented and developed by the medical team at Istanbul Vita Clinic, which employs the use of advanced techniques in analyzing the donor area and grafting plan for the afro texture, in order to come up with the best results for the client. As everyone may be aware, afro hair transplant does require special care, and hence the specialists at Istanbul Vita Clinic are highly competent in employing the Afro Technique®.

In addition to Afro Technique®, there are various other advanced hair transplant techniques offered by Istanbul Vita Clinic, such as Vita Technique®, Two Days FUE, Sapphire FUE, DHI, Combined FUE & DHI, and Long Hair FUE.

Advanced Care & Support Treatments

The following are some of the advanced treatment options offered at Istanbul Vita Clinic in order to make the visit more comfortable for their international patients. Besides advanced hair transplant procedures, Istanbul Vita Clinic has various technological options such as the stem cell technology that assists in healing, improving hair density, and making grafts effective. The procedure is pain-free due to the presence of Istanbul Vita Pain Management, which uses sedation. Oxygen therapy is done to promote circulation.

Pre-procedure, the patients are expected to go for certain medical examinations including blood analysis and EKG tests. PRP and mesotherapy are among the commonly used techniques for follicular stimulation and density enhancement. Furthermore, the IceGraft technique is utilized for protecting grafts. Shampoos, lotions, and other medical supplies included in the post-procedure aftercare kit are recommended for enhanced post-treatment experience. Moreover, emphasis on hygiene standards involves sterilization of the procedure rooms with the help of UV rays to reduce the microbes in the room.

Afro Technique®

Afro Technique® can be viewed as an extremely innovative technique, developed and patented by Istanbul Vita Clinic only for people having curly, coiled, or afro hair. This technique differs from other traditional hair transplantation techniques since it considers the features of afro hair characterized by their spiral or curly follicular units beneath the skin. Hence, standard techniques may not help ensure a natural direction and density of hair because of the peculiarities of afro hair. Due to the microscopic planning, angle control, and grafting, Afro Technique® achieves excellent results.

One of the unique aspects of the Afro technique is the use of extraction techniques through which 0.6-0.7mm sapphire punches are used. This ensures that hair surgeons will be able to isolate hair follicles without destroying other tissues. Furthermore, because of spiral and curly hair for Afro patients, extraction proves to be a more difficult process since there is more need for accuracy. One advantage associated with the special tool is a reduction in risks of scarring, protection of the tissue and survival of the graft. In addition, it minimizes the possibility of complications such as scabs and pain.

The Implantation Procedure of the Afro Technique® includes precise control over the angles, directions, and depths of placement of all grafts considering the curl formation of the hair. In the Afro Technique®, mapping of the scalp is done at an extremely sophisticated level of analysis of both the donor (D1-D4) and recipient (F1-F6) zones. The donor zone is mapped in such a way that it maximizes hair density but does not overextract hair. The recipient area is mapped according to the principles of facial harmony and afro hairlines. The frontal hairline (F1) consists of single follicular implants.

In terms of comparison between classic FUE and DHI techniques and the Afro Technique®, the latter technique yields much more natural results with proper density control in afro texture. Classic FUE and DHI techniques can provide a maximum of 35-45 grafts per square centimeter, whereas Afro technique can provide a plan for density up to 80-100 grafts per square centimeter, depending on the donor region. Nevertheless, despite the high density, the technique is quite natural as curly hair provides an impression of dense hair.

In addition to the beauty factor, there is the efficiency factor in the healing process of the Afro Technique®. The use of Sapphire micro-channels, which have a diameter of 0.6-0.8 mm, helps prevent injuries, cuts down recovery time to five to seven days, and significantly lowers the risk of complications. Using scientific accuracy, information about afro hair texture, and surgical planning, the Afro Technique® has turned out to be a highly efficient procedure in afro hair transplant Turkey.
