Afro Hair Transplant Expertise

As Istanbul Vita, we are aware that Afro Hair Transplantation needs an extremely specialized technique, and this is the reason for us having doctors whose specialty lies in treating afro hair and the specific difficulties they come across. As opposed to other types of hair, which may have straight growth, afro hair grows in a curve or even a coil, not only on the outside but even underneath the skin.

All of these factors are vital for obtaining a successful outcome. Our team of doctors has a lot of experience in dealing with wavy, curly, coiled, and very textured hair, which enables us to develop an individual treatment approach that takes into account the natural properties of the patient's hair while trying to achieve high density and correct hair growth direction.

Such skills come in handy when extracting grafts, as the curvature of the hair should be taken into consideration in order to preserve its quality and avoid additional trauma, as well as when transplanting it to ensure that the hair flows naturally and the angle of growth is identical to those of afro hair.

In Istanbul Vita, our physicians conduct a unique evaluation on each patient with afro hair, considering the hair thickness, donor strength, the type of curl, and also long-term aesthetics prior to the operation. This involves using the skills of a physician, the planning of grafts, and precise execution to provide results that will be aesthetically pleasing, while also being customized to match the specific features of afro-textured hair.

In cases when foreign patients look for afro hair transplant in Turkey, the importance of our highly specialized services may prove invaluable both in terms of the safety of the operation and the final result. The main objective of our clinic is to offer a highly informed, customized process for treating afro hair.

Vita Technique ®

Vita Technique ® has been specifically formulated to include microscopic planning. It enables doctors to evaluate the donor area and categorize the grafts depending on their thickness, texture, and growth patterns before going ahead with the procedure of transplanting. This technique ensures that all patients achieve aesthetically pleasing results.
