DHI, derived from the initials of “Direct Hair Implantation,” stands for direct hair transplantation. The distinguishing feature of this procedure is the direct and immediate implementation of the hair transplantation process. In the DHI method of hair transplantation, hair follicles harvested from the donor area are directly implanted into the recipient area without creating any incisions. This means that both the extraction of hair follicles and their transplantation occur simultaneously in this method.

Frequently asked questions
What is DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)?
DHI, or Direct Hair Implantation, is an advanced hair transplant technique that involves the direct implantation of hair follicles into the recipient area using a specialized tool called a Choi pen. Unlike traditional methods, DHI does not require creating incisions or channels beforehand, leading to minimal scarring and faster healing.
How does DHI differ from other hair transplant methods?
DHI differs from other hair transplant methods, such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), in the way hair follicles are implanted. With DHI, the hair follicles are implanted one by one directly into the scalp without the need for recipient site incisions. This precision allows for more natural hairline design and a denser appearance.
Is DHI suitable for everyone?
DHI is generally suitable for most individuals experiencing hair loss who are candidates for hair transplantation. However, the suitability of DHI depends on factors such as the extent of hair loss, the quality of donor hair, and individual hair restoration goals. A consultation with a qualified hair transplant surgeon is essential to determine if DHI is the best option for an individual’s specific case.
How long does it take to see the results of DHI?
After a DHI procedure, the transplanted hair will shed initially, and new hair growth usually begins within a few months. Visible results can typically be seen within 6-12 months, and the transplanted hair continues to grow naturally over time.
