DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is an advanced hair restoration procedure that allows precise extraction and implantation of hair follicles to restore natural hair density and coverage. Unlike traditional methods, DHI does not require large incisions and uses a patented implanter pen to place follicles directly into the scalp. This technique ensures high precision, natural angles, and optimal density, resulting in a realistic and long-lasting hairline.
Who Is a Good Candidate
Candidates for DHI include individuals who:
- Experience male or female pattern baldness
- Have thinning hair or receding hairlines
- Maintain sufficient donor hair density
- Desire a natural and permanent hair restoration solution
A thorough evaluation includes scalp analysis, hair density measurement, and donor area assessment to ensure optimal results.
Pre-Treatment Process
- Detailed consultation and medical history review
- Scalp mapping and planning of the recipient area
- Blood tests and anesthesia assessment
- Pre-procedure instructions regarding medications, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments
- Discussion of expected outcomes, session duration, and number of grafts required
Procedure
Performed under local anesthesia:
- Hair follicles are carefully extracted individually using micro punches
- Follicles are stored in a nutrient-rich solution to preserve viability
- Recipient areas are prepared without large incisions
- Follicles are implanted at precise angles using the Choi implanter pen
- The procedure duration depends on the number of grafts and can range from 4–8 hours
Post-Treatment & Recovery
- Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness is expected
- Tiny scabs at implantation sites heal within 7–10 days
- Patients follow strict post-operative care, including washing instructions, medications, and activity restrictions
