You can get an Afro hair transplant in Turkey. Turkey is renowned for its expertise and affordability in hair transplant procedures. Clinics in Turkey specialize in treating various hair types, including Afro-textured hair, which requires a unique and careful approach. The procedure involves meticulous graft extraction and implantation, ensuring the curl pattern is preserved and natural-looking results.
Afro hair type with tight, dense curls is just as susceptible to hair loss as pin-straight hair, if not even more so! While curly hair can appear tough and resilient, the individual strands are prone to breakage and damage. If you frequently wear tightly braided hairstyles, for instance, or if you’re simply rougher when brushing, you can easily develop issues like bald spots or even traction alopecia.
In some cases, you can reverse the damage if you stop exposing your hair to stress. In others, the problem may persist no matter what you do – especially if genetics are at play – and the only way to restore a full, voluminous appearance is through hair transplant surgery.
Asli Tarcan is a clinic in Turkey that specializes in Afro hair transplants and delivers outstanding, natural-looking results that will restore your hair and your confidence.
Whether it’s for straight or curly hair, a hair transplant works in largely the same way. It involves the extraction and implantation of hair follicles from one area of the scalp that has higher density (known as the donor area) to the other area with hair loss issues (known as the recipient area).
However, curly hair follicles can be a bit more complex, requiring special attention and consideration from transplant surgeons.
Your curls don’t start at the visible part of your hair. They start underneath the scalp. That means that their pattern and orientation are determined by the position of the follicle underneath. So, if the implanted hair isn’t inserted at just the right angle, the result may appear unnatural, and it might be more difficult for you to shape your hair properly.
What’s more, being more fragile than it looks, curly hair can be difficult to transplant without damaging the surrounding healthy roots. Therefore, the surgeon needs to be extremely careful and properly calculate the number of grafts that can be transplanted without affecting the surrounding hair.
So, for a successful hair transplant that minimizes damage and delivers natural-looking results, you’ll only want to work with experts who specialize in Afro hair transplants in Turkey.
At reputable hair transplant clinics like Asli Tarcan, you can get advanced treatments that deliver the best-looking results.
The FUE hair transplant starts with extracting individual hair grafts from the donor area. Depending on the condition of your scalp and the extent of hair loss you have, the surgeon would typically extract about 3,000 grafts. Afterward, the surgeon will make tiny incisions in the recipient area of your scalp to make space for the new follicles. Then, they will insert them one by one. As a general rule of thumb, the FUE hair transplant procedure is best for those who have more extensive hair loss. It’s suitable for covering larger areas of the scalp while offering improved density.
The DHI hair transplant process is only slightly different. It also starts with individual graft extraction from the donor area, but there are no incisions in the recipient area. The surgeon uses a specialized insertion tool that has a hollow needle on its end. They load the needle with the hair follicle and then insert the follicle into the scalp. In a nutshell, this tool makes space for the follicle and inserts it at the same time. This approach is generally best for increasing hair density in a smaller area, offering greater precision and minimizing potential damage to the surrounding healthy hair.
Your chosen doctor will thoroughly assess your scalp and your overall condition when determining whether you’re eligible for hair loss transplants and which procedure would suit you better. That said, there are some general eligibility criteria you should be aware of:
You need to have enough healthy hair follicles in the donor area to be able to get a transplant;
Surgeons can only transplant hair if you have a healthy scalp with enough elasticity for proper healing;
It’s not recommended for those under the age of 25 to undergo transplant surgery, as there’s an increased likelihood that hair loss will progress post-surgery. Patients over 65 might not have enough hair in the donor area for a successful surgery;
If you have specific allergies to medications used during/after the surgery, you might not be eligible for a transplant. Your eligibility will also depend on any underlying conditions that could put you at high risk during the surgery or impact the hair transplant result.
Surgeons at Asli Tarcan will thoroughly examine your scalp and overall health during the free consultations so you’ll know whether you’re eligible for the surgery.
The most common cause of hair loss in both men and women is androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern hair loss.
Male hair loss tends to follow the same pattern, starting above the temples and advancing back, making it relatively easy to extract healthy hair follicles from unaffected areas and complete a transplant.
Female hair loss tends to be more generalized thinning, which can make it somewhat more challenging to extract follicles from the donor area. The good news is that female hair transplants don’t require shaving, making it easier to keep the donor area well-covered until your hair grows out.
While there are many clinics across the US and the UK that specialize in hair transplants, a vast majority of people suffering from hair loss in these countries still opt to have their treatments done in Turkey.
The reason behind this is simple – Turkey offers advanced transplant techniques at affordable prices.
The easily available FUE and DHI treatments offered in Turkey can be difficult to find in the US or the UK. If you do manage to find surgeons specializing in them, you’d need to pay at least $15,000/£15,000 for the surgery.
In Turkey, the same treatment has an average starting price of just $2,500. In clinics like Asli Tarcan, it’s even more affordable, as the price includes an all-in-one package that comes with hotel accommodation and airport-clinic-hotel transfer during your stay.
