What is DHI Hair Transplant?
DHI hair transplant (Direct Hair Implantation) is a technique in which grafts are placed directly into the transplant area using a special Choi pen. The DHI method stands out by combining channel opening and graft placement in a single step.
How Is DHI Hair Transplant Performed?
The DHI technique essentially consists of the following steps:
- Grafts are individually extracted from the donor area.
- Grafts are loaded into the Choi pen.
- Channel opening and placement are performed simultaneously with the pen.
- Hair is positioned according to natural angle and direction.
Difference Between DHI and FUE
The most frequently asked question is the DHI FUE difference. Both methods transplant grafts individually; the main difference lies in the placement stage.
| Feature | FUE | DHI |
|---|---|---|
| Channel opening | Separate step | Simultaneous with pen |
| Densification | Suitable | Highly suitable |
| Shaving requirement | Usually required | May be possible with limited shaving |
Who Is DHI Suitable For?
DHI hair transplant is often preferred for patients who want dense implantation, need densification between existing hair, or require regional transplant planning. Suitability is determined through an initial analysis.
