Afro Hair Transplant in Turkey
Afro-textured hair requires specialised expertise for successful transplantation. Turkey has developed advanced techniques specifically designed for curly and coiled hair types, delivering excellent results for patients of African, Caribbean, and mixed heritage.
Challenges of Afro Hair Transplant
- Curved follicles require careful extraction to avoid transection
- Curly growth pattern affects channel creation angle
- Keloid scarring risk is higher in darker skin types
- Donor area may have different curl patterns
Specialised Techniques
Experienced surgeons use modified FUE punches (0.8-1.2mm) designed for curved follicles. Manual extraction ensures each graft is intact. DHI technique is preferred for implantation as it allows precise angle and direction control.
Results and Expectations
Afro hair transplants require fewer grafts for visible density due to the natural volume of curly hair. Typically 1,500-3,000 grafts are sufficient. Results become visible from month 6, with full results at 12-18 months. Cost: £2,000-£4,000 in Turkey.
