What is DHI Hair Transplant?
DHI Hair Implantation (Direct Hair Implantation) stands for “Direct Hair Implantation”. In this method, grafts are collected with a medical pen called choi, which should only be used by specialists, and then the hair is directly implanted into the skin without incisions or channels. In known hair transplantation methods, these two procedures are performed at separate times, but thanks to the special pen used, the procedure is reduced to one, providing comfort and convenience to the patient. In short, while the process is three-stage in the hair transplantation technique called FUE, it is two-stage in DHI. The aim of the application is to increase the quality of hair transplantation, to provide a dense appearance, to preserve the existing hairy appearance and to ensure that the person who has hair transplantation can quickly return to his daily life without shortening the hair.
How Is Hair Transplantation Performed With Dhi Technique?
With the Dhi hair transplantation technique, hair transplantation can be performed under local anesthesia, shaved or unshaven. Hair follicles taken from the donor area are directly transplanted into the recipient area using a Dhi pen.
The follicular unit taken from the donor area is placed into the Choi needle. At an angle of 40-45 degrees, hair follicles of appropriate thickness placed in needles of different diameters are transplanted one by one to the area to be hair transplanted in accordance with the pre-created plan. While the Choi needle pushes the hair follicle, it simultaneously inserts the hair follicle into the channel it opens in the scalp.
At least 2 Choi pens and an average of 10-12 different Choi tips are used in the DHI hair transplant operation. The tips and pens, which vary in diameter, are individually selected before the operation according to the thickness of the hair strand.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for DHI Hair Transplant?
You undergo a detailed examination before the hair transplant operation with the DHI hair transplant technique. General surgery protocol is applied at this stage to make sure that there is no health problem that will prevent the operation. While the necessary tests and blood tests are performed, the donor area is analyzed.
A detailed personalized consultation according to the patient’s age and hair loss type is extremely important in terms of future hair loss and patient satisfaction in hair transplantation.
Frequently Asked Questions
DHI is different from the traditional FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method. In FUE, the collected hair follicles are first placed in the opened channels, whereas in DHI, the follicles are placed directly into the harvested area with a special device.
Advantages of DHI may include a less invasive procedure, faster healing, less bleeding and scarring.
Since local anesthesia is applied during the procedure, you will not feel pain or discomfort. However, you may feel minimal pain or discomfort after the procedure.
