African American (Afro) Hair Type at DOH Clinic

Afro hair transplantation is a hair restoration procedure that is customized especially for individuals with Afro-textured or curly hair types. Clinics offer this service using special techniques carried out by surgeons and teams specialized in this type of hair transplantation. Here are the basic points you need to know about Afro hair transplantation by DOH Clinic;

Afro Hair Transplantation DOH Clinic Service Features:

1. Special Techniques:

The follicles of Afro-textured hair can be more curved and dense than other hair types. For this reason, techniques such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) are specially adapted for Afro hair transplants. Surgeons apply these techniques with precision to preserve the natural appearance of the hair.

2. Consideration of Curl and Growth Pattern:

Afro hair has different growth patterns both on the skin surface and under it. It is important for surgeons to carefully analyze this natural curl and growth pattern of the hair and create the hair transplant plan accordingly.

3. Experienced Surgeons:

Afro hair transplantation requires special skills due to the curly structure of the hair follicles and the risk of keloid scars. Clinics should be managed by surgeons who are experienced in Afro hair transplantation and can properly manage this type of hair texture.

4. Recovery and Results:

Although the recovery process after Afro hair transplantation is similar to other hair transplants, it may take longer for the hair to grow completely. It can usually take 6 to 12 months for new hair to start growing, and more time may be required for full results to be seen.

5. Cost and Treatment Process:

Afro hair transplantation costs may vary depending on the location of the clinic, the experience of the surgeon, and the extent of the transplant. The cost can sometimes be higher because it requires expertise.

6. Consultation and Planning:

Clinics usually offer a comprehensive preliminary consultation. At this stage, a personalized plan is created considering the hairline design, the number of grafts, and individual needs.

Why Afro Hair Extracting is more difficult?

Root extraction (follicle extraction) in Afro hair transplantation is more difficult than other hair types due to the hair's unique structure. Here are the reasons why root extraction is difficult in Afro hair transplantation:

1. Curvy Follicle Structure:

• Afro-textured hair is curved down to the skin and hair follicles usually have a curved or s-shaped structure. This curved structure requires special care when extracting follicles from under the skin. Extraction at an incorrect angle can cause damage to the follicle and prevent it from being transplanted healthily.

2. Follicle Fragility:

• Afro hair follicles can be more fragile due to their curved structure. This increases the risk of damage during follicle extraction. Since each follicle must be carefully extracted, the procedure can take longer and require more technical skill.

3. Dense and Thick Skin Layers:

• The scalp of individuals with Afro hair type can usually be thicker and denser. This can make it more difficult to extract the follicle during root extraction. An experienced surgeon is required to overcome the thick skin and remove the follicles without damaging them.

4. Risk of Keloid Formation:

• In Afro hair transplantation, the risk of keloid formation is high, especially when removing curly follicles. Keloid is a thick scar tissue that occurs as a result of excessive wound healing. Surgeons must be very careful and use the right techniques to minimize keloid formation.

5. Special Instrument and Technique Requirements:

• The instruments and techniques used for Afro hair transplantation are different from other hair types. Specially designed instruments are used to extract and transplant curly hair follicles. This requires more attention and expertise during the planning and implementation of the operation.

6. Requires Time and Patience:

• Afro hair transplantation may take longer than other types of hair transplantation. Since each follicle must be carefully removed during root extraction, the procedure may take longer and requires more patience.

For these reasons, Afro hair transplantation is a special procedure that requires expertise and experience. Removing the follicles in a healthy way using techniques and tools suitable for curly hair structure is very important to achieve natural and successful results.
