Hair transplants on African or Caribbean hair types require a slightly modified technique to standard FUE or FUT. Afro hair grows from the scalp at an angle, so surgeons must avoid damaging the follicle when harvesting your grafts. They should also implant the follicles carefully, following your natural hair pattern for a seamless result.
That’s why it’s so important to choose a skilled, experienced surgeon who understands the complexities of working with Afro-textured hair. At Lumia Clinic ‘our Hairtransplant surgeon and our team have been instrumental in developing and refining the modern hair transplant techniques — and we’ve restored the hair of thousands of patients with all kinds of hair textures.
What is an Afro hair transplant?
How do Afro hair transplants work?
Before the procedure starts, your scalp will be numbed by local anaesthetic to make the process more comfortable. A sedative may also help you stay calm and relaxed throughout. When these have taken effect, the surgeon will start removing follicles using your chosen method.
When the grafts are prepared, the surgeon will start to create small cuts across the balding areas. Then they insert the grafts following your hair’s natural direction, so your transplant results look completely organic.
