DHI Hair Transplantation

Create a request

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) Hair Transplantation is an advanced technique in the field of hair restoration. It involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them directly into the balding or thinning areas without the need for creating pre-made slits. This procedure allows for more precise placement of hairs, resulting in a more natural-looking hairline and density.

DHI Hair Transplantation

General

DHI Hair Transplantation utilizes a specialized tool known as the DHI implanter or Choi pen, allowing the surgeon to have more control over the depth, direction, and angle of each implanted hair, mimicking the natural growth pattern. This technique minimizes scalp trauma and can lead to faster healing and reduced scarring compared to traditional methods. Patients can typically expect to see the final results of their DHI hair transplant within 12 to 18 months after the procedure, as the newly transplanted hair follicles begin to grow naturally. Unlike other hair transplant techniques, DHI does not require shaving the entire head, making it an attractive option for those who wish to keep their procedure discreet.
