Hair Transplant Techniques Offered by İstanbul Vita Clinic
Another example of advanced technologies that are used by Istanbul Vita Clinic is Afro Technique®, which has been proven to be one of the most advanced techniques in the world for afro hair transplant. The Afro Technique® has been created and patented by the Istanbul Vita Clinic medical team, and this technique applies an innovative approach to the assessment of the donor area and grafting process for afro hair, which will allow creating a natural looking hairline and hair distribution. It is known that afro hair transplant requires a special approach, and therefore specialists from Istanbul Vita Clinic have plenty of experience in using Afro Technique®.
Apart from Afro Technique®, there are many other techniques of hair restoration used 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
Here are some of the advanced support and medical technologies offered by Istanbul Vita Clinic to improve the experience of international clients. In addition to the advanced hair transplanting process, the clinic uses various modern technologies such as stem cell treatment to repair, densify hair, and treat grafts. The VITA Pain Management guarantees that patients do not suffer pain during the process owing to the use of sedation technology. Oxygen therapy is done to ensure better blood circulation and faster recovery.
Prior to the surgery, patients are required to undergo various medical tests, such as blood work and EKG test. Follicle stimulation and density improvement are done using the PRP and mesotherapy technologies. The IceGraft technology is also employed in order to protect the grafts. The medical products in the aftercare kit, such as shampoos and lotions, are prescribed to boost the experience after the process. Besides, attention to the hygienic standards includes sterilization of the operating rooms through UV rays to minimize the presence of microorganisms in the room.
Afro Technique®
Afro Technique® is a highly innovative technique that was developed and patented only by Istanbul Vita Clinic for individuals who have curly, coily, and afro-textured hair. Unlike other hair transplantation techniques, the afro technique accounts for the distinctiveness of afro hair, which spirals or curls in follicular units beneath the skin. Therefore, normal procedures might not be enough to achieve a natural angle and density following hair extraction due to the distinctive nature of afro hair. Through microscopic planning, angle regulation, and personalized grafting, the afro technique achieves excellent outcomes despite the difficulties posed by hair extraction.
An important feature of the Afro Technique® is special extraction, which is performed with 0.6-0.7 mm sapphire punches, which allows hair surgeons to safely extract hair follicular units without damaging other components of tissue. In addition, because of the spiral and curly structure of Afro people’s hair, it is quite hard to perform extraction since it requires great accuracy. Advantages of using a particular tool include the reduced risks of developing scars, protection of healthy tissue and higher chances for grafts survival. Furthermore, patients avoid developing serious complications associated with the procedure, including scabs and pain.
Implantation of the Afro Technique® implies full control of the angle, directions, and depth of placement of each follicle considering the natural curvature of hair. Within this technique, the mapping of a scalp is done on the highest level as far as analysis of the donor (D1-D4) and recipient (F1-F6) sites is concerned. The donor site is mapped considering maximal density of hair extraction without over extraction. The recipient site is mapped considering the harmonious ratio between facial traits and afro hair lines. A special focus should be placed on the frontal hairline (F1) consisting of single hair implants only.
The Afro Technique® offers a superior natural result, with proper density control, when compared to classic FUE and DHI techniques. Classic FUE and DHI techniques provide a maximum density of 35-45 follicular units per cm², whereas the Afro technique can achieve density planning of 80-100 follicular units per cm² based on the donor amount available. The advantage of higher density is achieved without compromising the natural appearance due to the natural ability of curly hair to provide a denser appearance.
However, not only is there an aesthetic advantage, but the Afro Technique® also provides the added benefit of being highly effective in terms of healing. The use of Sapphire micro-channels, whose diameters range between 0.6 to 0.8mm, ensures minimal damage, faster healing times within just five to seven days, and virtually no complications. With both medical precision, knowledge on afro hair texture, as well as surgical planning, the Afro Technique® has shown to be a highly efficient procedure for afro hair transplant Turkey.
