What is the DHI hair transplantation technique?

The DHI hair transplantation technique, also known as Direct Hair Implantation, is a modern technique aimed at performing hair transplantation with high precision and minimal risks. It involves using Choi pens (pen-like tools with a hollow needle on one end) without a surgical scalpel.

What are the best hair transplantation techniques?

Several techniques are currently used in hair transplantation, each with pros and cons. These techniques include: Strip technique, also known as FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. DHI method (DHI Implanter Pen) is a modified version of the FUE technique.

What is the difference between FUE and DHI hair transplantation techniques?

The tools used in the FUE technique differ from those used in the DHI technique. In FUE, a sharp tool called a micro-motor is used to extract hair follicles from the donor area, while in DHI hair implant, a Choi pen is used for hair transplantation. In the FUE technique, channels are manually created in the scalp before inserting the hair follicles, whereas this step is not performed in the DHI technique. In DHI, the incisions and hair transplantation are done simultaneously.

How long does the transplanted hair last after DHI hair transplantation?

Hair loss can occur after DHI hair transplantation surgery for about 2-3 weeks, and then the hair starts to grow slowly. Therefore, it may take almost a year for the full results of the transplantation to appear after the procedure. However, the results of the surgery usually last for a lifetime.
