DHI Hair Transplant
Hair loss is one of the most common problems affecting both men and women, negatively impacting their aesthetic appearance and self-confidence. Today, thanks to modern hair transplant techniques, this problem can be permanently resolved. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant, in particular, stands out among hair transplant methods with its advanced technology and natural results.
DHI hair transplantation enables hair follicles to be placed directly into the implantation area using a special pen technique. This method allows for a natural-looking hairline and denser hair growth. At the same time, the short recovery period is rapidly increasing the number of patients opting for the DHI method.
What is DHI Hair Transplantation?
DHI hair transplantation is the process of directly implanting healthy hair follicles taken from the donor area into the bald area using a special device called the Choi implanter pen. In this technique, channel creation and follicle implantation are performed simultaneously, so the hair follicles do not remain outside the scalp. This increases the follicle survival rate and ensures stronger, healthier hair growth.
DHI Hair Transplant Method
The DHI method differs from traditional hair transplant techniques in that it performs the channel creation and implantation procedures simultaneously.
- Hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area using a micro motor.
- The extracted follicles are placed into the Choi pen.
- Using the Choi pen, the hair follicle is implanted directly into the recipient area with its angle and direction precisely adjusted.
What Method is Used for DHI Hair Transplantation?
The most important tool used in the DHI technique is the Choi implanter pen. This device both opens the channel and places the hair follicle into the tissue at the same time. This allows the hair follicles to be transferred more safely. Furthermore, this method ensures that the hair is placed in accordance with its existing direction and angle during transplantation, which helps to achieve a more natural result.
What is Choi Kalem (Choi Implanter Pen)?
The most important part of DHI hair transplantation is the specially developed Choi Implanter Pen device. First developed in South Korea, this medical pen has revolutionised the field of hair transplantation.
Thanks to the Choi pen, two steps are performed simultaneously in hair transplantation:
- Channel Creation
- Hair Follicle Placement
This eliminates the need to first create channels and then place the follicles, as is required in traditional methods. The Choi pen features a hollow, thin, and sharp needle. The hair follicle taken from the donor area is placed inside this pen and implanted into the recipient area at a natural angle with a single motion.
Why Choose DHI Hair Transplantation?
DHI hair transplantation has become one of the most preferred methods in recent years, particularly due to its natural appearance, rapid recovery process, and high success rate. It offers a more modern and technological approach compared to traditional hair transplantation methods.
The Choi pen technique used in this method allows hair follicles to be placed directly into the transplantation area without damage. This enables the transplanted hair to take root more strongly and remain permanent for life.
Furthermore, DHI is preferred not only for hair transplantation but also for successful results in eyebrow, beard, and moustache transplantation.
In short, DHI is one of the most reliable and innovative hair transplantation methods from both an aesthetic and medical perspective.
What are the Advantages of DHI Hair Transplantation?
- Natural Results: Hair follicles are placed in accordance with the natural angle of hair growth. This prevents an artificial appearance after transplantation.
- More Dense Transplantation: Thanks to the Choi pen, hair follicles can be transplanted closer together. This provides a denser appearance, especially at the front hairline.
- Short Recovery Time: As it causes minimal damage to the tissue, redness and scabbing heal more quickly.
- Higher Retention Rate: Hair follicles emerge stronger and healthier as they do not remain outside for long periods.
- Does Not Damage Existing Hair: Existing hair is not touched when transplanting into sparse areas.
- Painless and Comfortable Procedure: Thanks to local anaesthesia, the patient feels no pain during the procedure.
- Versatile Use: Can be applied not only to hair, but also to eyebrow, moustache and beard transplants.
DHI and FUE Differences
- Channel Creation: In FUE, the channel is created first, then the roots are implanted. In DHI, channel creation and implantation are performed simultaneously.
- Recovery Process: The DHI method is less invasive, resulting in a shorter recovery process.
- Naturalness: DHI achieves a denser and more natural-looking hairline.
- Scope: FUE is more suitable for large areas, while DHI is preferred for the front hairline and detailed areas.
The Recovery Process Following DHI Hair Transplantation
The recovery process following DHI hair transplantation is quite comfortable. Mild scabbing and redness may occur during the first 2-3 days after the procedure. The first wash is usually performed after 48 hours.
- 2-3 weeks: Temporary shedding (shock loss) may be observed in the transplanted hair.
- 3 months: New hair begins to grow.
- 6 months: Most of the hair becomes visible.
- 9-12 months: The permanent and natural result of the hair transplant becomes apparent.
