Advanced Care & Support Treatments
The advanced forms of treatment and technology used by Istanbul Vita Clinic to enrich the experience of their international patients include the following. Apart from the advanced hair transplantation techniques, the clinic uses other forms of technology such as stem cell therapy to help heal, thicken the hair, and improve the quality of the grafts. The Vita Pain Management ensures that there is no pain experienced because of the use of sedation techniques. Oxygen therapy is also performed to enhance blood circulation.
Before treatment, it is anticipated that the patients will have undergone particular medical procedures such as blood test and EKG tests. Techniques such as PRP and mesotherapy are common for stimulating and enhancing follicular density. Also, IceGraft treatment is done as part of graft protection. After surgery care items, which are shampoos, lotions, and other medical supplies, in the kit provided after the procedure are highly recommended. Hygiene aspects include sterilization of the procedure rooms by using UV light.
Afro Technique®
The Afro Technique® is an innovation that has been designed and patented only by Istanbul Vita Clinic for people with curly or coiled afro hair. In contrast to common hair transplant techniques, this one considers the uniqueness of afro hair that has a spiral shape of hair follicular units under the skin. Therefore, ordinary hair transplant techniques cannot be enough for providing natural growth directions and density after transplantation because of the peculiarities of afro hair structure. Due to microscopic planning, angle control, and individualized grafting, Afro Technique® helps to achieve excellent results despite difficult extraction.
The most important difference of Afro Technique® is a special extraction technique that presupposes using 0.6–0.7 mm sapphire punches. This helps hair doctors easily isolate hair follicles without damaging surrounding tissues. Besides, extraction of curly hair of afro people requires more accuracy than extraction of straight hair due to spiral hair growing in afro hair. There are several advantages of this technique including lower risks of scars, preservation of healthy tissues, and greater probability of grafts survival. This technique also allows people to reduce the occurrence of side effects like painful scabs.
The implantation of Afro Technique® requires complete control of angles, direction, and depth of placement of each graft based on the natural hair curling pattern. With Afro Technique®, the scalp is highly mapped considering the sophisticated analysis of the donor (D1-D4) and the recipient (F1-F6) zones. The donor zone is first analyzed to permit maximum hair extraction without over-extraction of hair. The recipient zone is mapped based on facial harmony as well as afro hairlines. Consideration is taken into account with respect to the frontal hairline (F1). It consists of single hair implants for a natural appearance of the hairline.
The Afro Technique® is more effective than other procedures, such as Classic FUE or DHI in terms of creating natural effects in combination with appropriate density. The classic procedure provides a maximum of 35-45 grafts per square centimeter, whereas Afro technique can provide up to 80-100 grafts per square centimeter according to the availability of the donor area. The advantage is that the patient can have a higher density of follicles with natural effects because of the curly nature of the hair.
In addition to aesthetical advantages, the Afro Technique® provides great advantages associated with highly-efficient healing. The use of Sapphire micro-channels of 0.6 to 0.8 mm ensures low level of trauma, fast healing within five to seven days, and almost impossible risk of developing complications. Being highly precise medically, knowing characteristics of afro hair, and making surgical innovations, the Afro Technique® turned out to be highly-efficient procedure for afro hair transplant Turkey.
