DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant is a specialized technique used for hair restoration. It is a more advanced version of the traditional FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method. Here’s a detailed overview of the DHI hair transplant process:
Extraction: Individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the head) using a specialized tool. This step is similar to the FUE method, where follicles are harvested one by one to minimize scarring and preserve the integrity of the hair grafts.
Implantation: The extracted hair follicles are then implanted directly into the recipient area using a unique tool called a Choi Implanter Pen. This device allows the surgeon to control the depth, angle, and direction of the implanted hair, which helps achieve a more natural-looking result.
No Pre-Made Incisions: Unlike other hair transplant methods, DHI does not require pre-made incisions or holes in the recipient area. The Choi Implanter Pen creates the incisions and implants the grafts simultaneously, reducing the time the grafts spend outside the body and potentially improving their survival rate.
Benefits of DHI Hair Transplant
Higher Precision: The use of the Choi Implanter Pen allows for greater precision in terms of depth, angle, and direction of hair placement, resulting in a more natural look.

The length of the procedure will depend on the number of grafts being transplanted, but most procedures take several hours to complete.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort, but this can be managed with pain medication.
It can take several months to see the full results of a hair transplant. Initially, the transplanted hair may fall out, but it should start to regrow within a few months.
Like any surgical procedure, a hair transplant carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, scarring, and nerve damage. However, these risks are rare and can be minimized by choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon.
