Advanced Care & Support Treatments

Some of the sophisticated support therapies and medical technologies offered by Istanbul Vita Clinic for improving the experience of their foreign patients. In addition to sophisticated hair transplantation, Istanbul Vita Clinic uses some of the latest medical technologies such as stem cell therapy for healing and hair density. VITA Pain Management guarantees the absence of any discomfort during the surgery because of sedation techniques used by the clinic. Moreover, oxygen therapy is performed to improve blood 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® is a highly innovative technique that has been developed and patented by the Istanbul Vita Clinic solely for those clients having curly, coily, or afro hair texture. Unlike other hair transplantation techniques, the Afro Technique® is based on taking the unique features of afro hair into consideration since this hair is curled or spiraled under the skin. As a result, normal procedures might fail to give natural orientation or density when the hair is removed because of the special characteristics of the afro hair.

One of the distinctive features of Afro Technique® is a special extraction procedure when 0.6–0.7 mm sapphire punches are used. As a result, hair surgeons can successfully isolate hair follicular units without damaging other parts of tissue. Moreover, due to the spiral and curly hair growth of Afro people, extraction is much harder compared to straight hair types because it implies using more precision. The benefits of a special instrument are a decreased risk of scar formation, preservation of healthy tissues, and higher chances of grafts survival. It also helps patients avoid severe side effects, such as scabs and pain.

Implantation process of the Afro Technique® involves full control of angles, direction, and depth of placements of each graft according to the natural curl pattern of hair. In this technique, the scalp is mapped with a high degree of sophistication in terms of analysis of both the donor (D1–D4) and recipient (F1–F6) areas. The donor area is analyzed to allow for maximum density hair extraction without any over extraction. The recipient zone is mapped according to facial harmony and afro hairlines. Attention is also paid to the frontal hairline (F1), which is made up of single-hair implants to produce a natural hairline effect.

The Afro Technique® is far more effective than Classic FUE and DHI as it achieves the best natural effect with adequate density control in afro-textured hair. Classic FUE and DHI techniques can provide a maximum of 35-45 grafts per square centimeter, while Afro Technique enables density planning in up to 80-100 grafts per square centimeter according to donor availability. However, even with increased density, there is a natural effect because curly hair creates an illusion of denseness.

Apart from the aesthetic impacts, the Afro Technique® is characterized by high efficiency in terms of recovery. By applying the Sapphire micro-channels which have a diameter between 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm, there is no damage involved, with recovery being reduced to five to seven days and minimizing the chances of experiencing complications. The combination of medical precision, knowledge on afro textured hair, and surgical planning makes the Afro Technique® very efficient for afro hair transplant Turkey.
