Afro Cases

Afro hair transplants have become a much more viable option in recent years. When it comes to hair transplants, you might be unsure whether it can cater to your specific needs. Questions such as “Will a hair transplant work with my type of hair?” often comes up. The answer generally to this is a YES!

Our
Technique

We at Evolved Clinics in Perth and Brisbane practise DFI (Direct Follicle Insertion) Technique on our patients.
It is a care system, using FUE and specialized implanter pens, delivering natural results.

1

Extraction

Extraction

Direct Follicle Insertion is combining the extreme skill set of a Hair Transplant Doctor trained in Manual extraction, and biohacking/supercharging them with the latest in motorised technology. Simply put our Hair Transplant Doctor can extract grafts safer, faster and with the smallest of micro instruments, preserving the appearance of donor area.

2

Graft Preservation

Graft Preservation

Then we employ advanced graft tissue preservation techniques (medical terminology for graft survivability) through the use of chilled graft trays, ATP, Growth Factor Therapy and Hypothermasol. This creates an environment where the grafts feel like it's still in the body. Nothing is ever left to chance, as you only have 1 donor area.

3

Implantation

Implantation

Once we get the hairs you need, each graft is carefully placed into an ultra-fine implanter and we insert each graft at the correct angle, depth and direction, ensuring natural placement.

The Shape and Characteristics of Tight curls and Afro type Hair

Afro hair is tightly curled or kinky and has a distinct C-shape. The hair follicles are often not visible, as they tend to curve underneath the skin. Because of this, transection rates on curly and afro hair tend to be higher than on straight hair. Transection rate refers to the unintentional cutting of a hair follicle during a transplant. This can occur during the extraction stage of a transplant. Transections occur because of the pressure applied to the scalp during a hair transplant procedure, or by using blunt or incorrect tools.

For this reason, our Hair Transplant Doctors in Perth and Brisbane clinic has undergone extensive training, as carrying out transplants for afro hair requires extensive experience and knowledge and the application of specific techniques.

When Should I Get an Afro Hair Transplant?

An Afro hair transplant is a viable option for men and women with partial thinning, a receding hairline or traction alopecia — a type of gradual hair loss caused by excessive pulling of the hair. Afro hair is particularly vulnerable to traction alopecia due to common hair styles such as tight braids or dreadlocks. Hair transplant surgery is generally not recommended if you’re undergoing temporary hair loss or suffer from Alopecia Areata.

Hair loss occurs when the cycle of hair growth is disrupted, resulting in the hair shedding faster than usual, re-growing poorly or not growing back at all. The most common cause of hair loss is hereditary male and female pattern baldness. However, the following conditions can cause hair loss, or alopecia, in men and women:
A hair transplant involves taking healthy hair follicles from a part of the scalp where hair is genetically programmed to keep growing for life and transplanting them to the areas affected by hair loss. These newly implanted hairs will last a lifetime.
The only part of the procedure during which you will feel any pain is the local anesthesia with numbing injections. These are similar to injections at the dentist. The injections take around 5 to 10 minutes to administer in the donor and recipient areas. We apply a vibrating massage device to the area being injected in order to “distract the nerves” and reduce the discomfort from the needle. The local anesthesia provides around 2 to 3 hours of numbing effect on the scalp. We will need to repeat the local anaesthesia but aim to do so while the skin is still numb so that the injections are not felt.

"DFI technique requires only a local anaesthetic and is virtually pain-free. The whole process can take between 4 and 12 hours depending on the size of the recipient area and the number of grafts that need to be transplanted.",

"DFI has the advantage of avoiding the linear scar left by FUT as individual follicular units are taken only leaving micro dots which are covered by hair. Because it leaves minimal scarring DFI is ideal for people who like to keep their hair short, such as a number 1 or number 2 haircut.

Our Hair Transplant Doctor completes 100% of the surgery.

7 days after a DFI procedure most patients are free of scabs and display little or no signs that surgery has taken place (other than the new graft stubble).
The newly transplanted hairs will typically shed 2-4 weeks post-op and there will be a period of waiting for the new hairs to re-appear. In most cases, some of the transplanted hair will start to appear 2-3 months after a hair transplant.
Most patients see their near full results around 9 months to one year after a hair transplant. In some cases, patients can be a “slow/late grower”. These patients may have to wait 18 months to see full maturation of the transplanted hairs.

This does vary depending on your procedure but, in most cases, light exercise can be restarted 6 days after surgery and full exercise can be restarted at day 10 post op.
This does vary from patient to patient but most patients do not have redness in their scalp after day 10-14 post-op. Patients with fair skin types can retain skin redness for longer.
You will not be able to drive yourself home on the evening of the surgery. It is fine to drive home the following morning.
