About DHI Hair Transplant

DHI uses the same follicle extraction as FUE, but the implantation is different. Instead of opening all the channels first, each graft is loaded into a Choi pen and implanted directly, so the channel and the placement happen in one movement.

This gives the doctor very precise control over the angle and direction of every hair, which is especially valuable at the hairline and when adding density between existing hairs without damaging them.

FAQ

DHI Hair Transplant: common questions

Is DHI better than FUE?

Neither is better for everyone. DHI gives more control for hairlines and density work, while FUE with pre-opened channels is efficient for large areas. Many plans combine both.

Can DHI be done without shaving?

In some cases the recipient area can stay unshaven, which makes recovery more discreet. Your doctor decides based on your hair and the size of the area.

How long does a DHI session take?

Usually 6 to 8 hours depending on the number of grafts.

Are the results permanent?

Yes. The follicles come from the permanent donor area and keep growing for life.
