What is DHI hair transplantation and how does it work?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced hair transplant technique in which follicles extracted from the donor area are loaded directly into the Choi pen - a precision instrument with needles ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 mm - and immediately implanted into the recipient area, without the need to create prior channels with separate needles as in the standard FUE technique. This direct implantation process offers significant advantages: the time the follicle spends outside the body is reduced to a minimum (improving follicular survival rate), the control of implantation angle and depth is more precise, and it is possible to add density to areas with existing hair without shaving the recipient area. DHI is especially indicated for the crown area, for partial densification of areas with existing hair, and for patients seeking the maximum in naturalness and hair density.
Advantages of the DHI technique
- •Greater hair density: The Choi pen allows follicles to be placed closer together than in standard FUE
- •Precise angle control: Exact angle and depth for a completely natural result
- •No shaving of the recipient area: Allows densification of areas with existing hair
