dhi hair transplant surgery results

Direct hair implantation (DHI) is a modification of the FUE technique. In this procedure hair follicles are extracted one by one using a specialist tool with a diameter of 1mm or less.

The hair follicles are then loaded into an implanter tool, known as Choi Pen, and implanted directly into the recipient area.

During DHI, the creation of the canals and the implantation happen simultaneously. The Choi Implanter Pen gives the doctor more precision when implanting the hair follicles. This allows them to control the angle, direction, and depth of the newly transplanted hair.

Recovery time for DHI is similar to FUE. Results usually appear within a similar timeframe too, with full results typically taking between 12–18 months to appear.

 

Benefits of Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) :

 

  • DHI has established strict protocols that apply to all procedures, it is also ISO certified.
  • Patients do not need to shave their hair before the procedure, and they can return to work and resume daily activities one day afterward.
  • Only local anesthesia is used so the patient can comfortably watch TV, listen to music, chat with our team or even take a nap.
  • The patented technology gives our doctors precise control over implantation and the design of completely natural-looking results.
  • DHI achieves up to twice the germination rates compared with the less sophisticated hair transplant techniques.
  • No scars, only healthy hair follicles which are genetically designed to grow for a lifetime are chosen and implanted.
