What is DHI Hair Transplant?

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is an advanced hair restoration technique that allows precise implantation of hair follicles directly into the scalp without the need for prior incisions. Using a specialized tool called a Choi pen, the surgeon implants follicles at the correct angle, depth, and direction, resulting in a natural-looking hairline and denser coverage.

The DHI Procedure and Its Advantages

During a DHI procedure, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area, usually the back of the scalp, using minimally invasive methods. These follicles are then implanted immediately with the Choi pen, which combines the incision and implantation in a single step. This method reduces the time follicles spend outside the body, improving survival rates and hair growth. Patients benefit from faster recovery times and minimal scarring.

Who is a Good Candidate for DHI?

DHI is suitable for individuals experiencing early to advanced hair loss who want a precise and natural result. It’s also ideal for patients who prefer minimal downtime and a less invasive procedure. Adequate donor hair availability and realistic expectations are essential for successful outcomes.

Aftercare and Expected Results

Post-procedure care includes gentle scalp cleaning, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from strenuous activities for a short period. Hair growth typically begins within 3 to 4 months, with full results visible after 9 to 12 months. The transplanted hair follicles are permanent, providing a long-lasting solution for hair loss.
