The traceless hair transplant era has started with the FUE method, which allows one-by-one hair follicle collection. In the FUE method, which removes the hair follicles from the donor area without leaving any marks, the hair follicles are placed after channel opening. With DHI hair transplant, channel opening and transplanting follicles have become feasible at the same time.

Success in hair transplant operations is directly proportional to the transplantation of sufficient hair follicles without losing their vitality. This shortened period of the hair follicles staying outside after collection increases the graft survival rate. DHI hair transplant is highly advantageous, considering this feature.

DHI (direct hair implantation) is a hair transplant application that has become widespread, especially after 2016. In this method, the hair follicles collected individually from the donor area by FUE method are placed in the target area utilising the Choi implanter. Using DHI pens, the waiting time of the hair follicles outside the body is reduced.

The DHI method also uses the FUE method for the collection of grafts. In DHI hair transplant, channel opening and placement of the grafts happen simultaneously with the use of the special pens.

In a 3,000-graft transplant operation with the standard FUE method, the doctors collect the grafts first. Then, the doctors open the channels to place the hair follicles in. 

Finally, they place these grafts into the individual channels. Note, in a graft transplant with DHI hair transplantation; doctors collect and transplant the grafts simultaneously. In the DHI method, there is no channel opening process.

DHI Naturalness in Hair Transplant

Some factors affect the naturalness of the hair transplant. For the patients to obtain the hair transplant results they imagined, they must know the critical factors affecting naturalness. Naturalness in DHI is possible with a good design of the front line. For this, there are some points that the doctor and the patient should pay attention to.

Another point that has improved in the DHI method is the transplanting angles of hair follicles. In a DHI hair transplant, the doctor determines the angles and depths of the hair follicles more efficiently with a single move. This accelerates the recovery time for natural-looking hair.

Advantages of DHI

DHI has various benefits compared to other hair transplant methods. Thanks to the structure of the special pens, hair transplant is more effective and faster.

• It is possible to give the hair a more natural look.
• Hair follicles stay intact during transplantation.
• In the target area, there will be no holes, incisions, and stitches. Thus, the healing process becomes much shorter.
• The rate of attachment of the hair follicles is much higher.
• New hair roots begin to grow faster. The reason for this is that cell division continues as hair roots do not stay outside the body.
• The recovery is also faster in the donor area.
• The patient can immediately return to their daily life after the surgery.

As you can see, there are significant advantages in operations with DHI hair transplantation. The biggest advantage of the applications performed with DHI method is that the hair follicles do not stay outside the body after graft collection.
