DHI HAIR TRANSPLANT

DHI, is an abbreviation for Direct Hair Implantation. This method refers to the transplantation of hair directly. Although it came to the spotlight after 2016, it has been practiced for about 10 years.

Special needles (Implanter / Choi needle) are designed for DHI hair transplantation. It has a thin, cylindrical and sharp tip. The hair follicle is taken from the donor area and placed directly in the area where the hair is diluted in 1-2 minutes using these needles. Although there are opinions suggesting the similarities between DHI hair transplantation and FUE hair transplant procedures, there are important differences between these two techniques.

  • Grafts are not kept in waiting as in the FUE technique after they are removed from the donor area. It is transported to the affected area within 1-2 minutes. As a result, damage to the hair follicles is prevented.
  • It provides transplanting between the hair in areas where the hair is not completely bald and the hair is sparsely distributed. If transplant will be done in a narrower area, more denser transplantation can be done with DHI hair transplantation.
