The after care kit comprises shampoos, lotions, and other medical supplies, which are recommended for a better after treatment experience.

Afro Technique®

Afro Technique® is an absolutely unique technique that has been invented and patented only by Istanbul Vita Clinic for the treatment of individuals with curly, coiled or afro hair texture. Unlike the traditional hair transplant procedure, this one takes into consideration the specificity of afro hair which possesses a spiral shape of follicular units under the skin. Therefore, the traditional techniques cannot guarantee the natural orientation and density after hair removal due to the specific features of afro hair. Despite the difficulties during extraction, Afro Technique® delivers impressive results due to microscopic planning and angle control.

The unique aspect of Afro Technique® is a particular extraction process that uses 0.6-0.7 mm sapphire punches, allowing hair surgeons to extract hair follicles without harming other parts of tissue. In addition, extraction becomes more difficult in Afro hair because of its spiral and curly shape, requiring precision. The advantages of a special device include a minimal risk of scars, healthy tissue retention, and better chances for grafts survival. Moreover, it provides an opportunity for avoiding such adverse effects as scabs and pain experienced by the patient.
