DHI Hair Transplant

Since we’re one of the first clinics in the world to start using this technique, we will try to explain every aspect of this method and see if it genuinely is successful. DHI, also known as unshaven hair transplant, is a modification of the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method that has evolved into very popular due to the advantages it promises.

Actually, the DHI procedure is a FUE hair transplantation version. The hair graft extraction procedure is the same, however the difference manifests itself during the implantation procedure. In a standard FUE hair transplant process, the hair grafts are removed either manually or with the aid of a micro-motor from the donor area (the back of the head). The recipient area is then sliced with slits, and the removed grafts are manually put inside those cuts using specialized tweezers. The extraction step of the DHI hair transplant surgery is performed the same way as the implantation phase, but a unique piece of equipment called a Choi pen enters the picture.

Choi pens, which are made specifically for hair transplant procedures, provide the hands of experts numerous benefits, but one must undergo significant training to be able to perfect this technique because it entails the expert working alone for most of the procedure.

That is accurate, yes. The specialist does the extraction and slit cuts during FUE hair transplant procedures, but the helper nurses implant the grafts to shorten the procedure’s time (solo implantation of the grafts may take the duration of the procedure up to 18-20 hours, thus assistant nurses carry out the implantation process during FUE hair transplant operations).
