THE TECHNIQUE
Why Afro & Curly Hair Requires a Specialist
Afro and curly hair follicles are curved or spiral in shape — unlike straight hair follicles. This makes extraction significantly more complex and demands advanced expertise and specialist tools. Standard FUE techniques used for straight hair can damage curved follicles if not adapted correctly.
At Estelux Istanbul, our surgeons use carefully adapted FUE techniques and specialist micro-punch tools designed specifically for curved follicle extraction. This ensures the integrity of each follicle is preserved during extraction — resulting in a higher survival rate and natural, healthy regrowth that matches the patient's natural curl pattern.
If you have Afro or curly hair and have been told that hair transplantation is not possible for you — we encourage you to get a second opinion from our specialists.

COMFORT & SAFETY
Anaesthesia Options at Estelux
At Estelux, we offer both local and sedation anaesthesia for your Afro & Curly hair transplant — so you can choose the experience that suits you best.
Standard
Local Anaesthesia
The scalp is numbed with local anaesthetic injections. You remain fully awake and comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients watch films or listen to music during the process.
Premium Option
Sedation Anaesthesia
For patients who prefer a completely stress-free experience, we offer sedation anaesthesia. You will be fully relaxed and unaware during the entire procedure — with zero discomfort from start to finish. This premium option is available exclusively at Estelux Istanbul.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hair transplant possible for Afro hair?
Yes — absolutely. While Afro and curly hair transplantation is more complex than straight hair, it is entirely possible when performed by experienced specialists using the right techniques and tools. At Estelux, our surgeons have extensive experience with Afro-textured and curly hair of all types.
Will the transplanted hair maintain its curl?
Yes. The curl pattern of hair is determined by the follicle itself — not the scalp. When a curly follicle is transplanted, the hair that regrows from it will maintain its natural curl pattern.
Is the procedure painful?
With local anaesthesia, you will feel no pain during the procedure. With sedation anaesthesia, you will be completely unaware. Some mild discomfort during the initial anaesthetic injections passes quickly.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Most Afro & Curly hair transplant patients stay 3-5 days in Istanbul. The procedure takes 6-8 hours, followed by a recovery day and post-operative check before departure.
