Direct Hair Implants. DHI
DHI The Latest Technology in Hair Transplants
When making such an important decision about having a hair transplant operation, maximum research is required to get maximum information about your options. This is a must idea because it allows you to ask the right questions before having a detailed discussion with your hair transplant surgeon to find the optimal method for you. You may have found so much information about FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and then suddenly you came across DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) making it all a little confusing. The DHI hair transplant method is the most recent development in the field of hair transplantation and the answers you are looking for are right here. As a company that specialises in mens and womens hair treatment losses we decided 2019 to make that DHI journey and then share it with many of our clients that suffer from hair-loss. Yes correct we went to Turkey Istanbul and took on the journey and answered all those questions about hair transplants for ourselves...... Turkey & DHI vs FUE FUT & the rest of the world.... Please keep reading as we are real, not the hype, not the unfilled promises that can make it all to daunting..

What is the difference DHI vs FUE
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. Firstly, you need to know the difference between FUT and FUE to better understand DHI. In the FUT method, a strip of tissue with hair follicles is extracted from the back of the scalp and implanted in the donor area. Incision is not used in the FUE hair transplant method, instead, a punch is used to extract follicle units and the extracted follicles are implanted in the recipient areas afterwards.
DHI hair transplant is not to be confused with the FUE hair transplant method (some will tell you it's similar , well it's not) the main difference is the way how hair follicles are implanted. In the FUE hair transplant, the hair transplant surgeon makes incisions on the whole scalp and follicle units are placed on these incisions. In addition, the DHI hair transplant method does not require any incisions and a patented tool called the Choi implanter is used during each implantation on the scalp. As an alternative, the robotic hair transplant system can be applied. This system measures the depth and angle necessary for each hair follicle, that’s why it is also known as robotic. Therefore the only similarity between the two methods is the extraction and even then older technology older equipment ?
The DHI Technique vs Fue, Hair Transplant
DHI uses a special device to fully control the angle, depth and direction of the follicle that is implanted. This results with a completely natural hairline and a natural look.
While the extracted grafts are directly implanted in the donor area in the DHI technique, in the FUE technique, the extracted grafts are placed in a special solution, a channel is opened in the recipient area and the extracted grafts are implanted in these channels. There are no additional canalization phases in DHI.
Because implantation is carried out with a special Implanter without opening the channels, there is no bleeding in DHI.
There is no incrustation, pitting or postulation in DHI.
The maximum number of grafts can be approximately between 4000 – 6000 grafts in a single DHI session, in the case of FUE the number can be a lot less grafts max 3500 - 4000
With the special Implanter in the DHI technique, it is easier and more successful to set an angle and direction.
You don’t need to get shaved in the DHI method, only the donor area is extracted. In the FUE method the whole scalp should be shaved before the operation.
A patient who received the DHI treatment can go on with his or her regular routine and can recover faster than a patient who received FUE Hair Transplant treatment.

Am I a Good Candidate for DHI Hair Transplant?
DHI is ideal for those with severe hair loss. Those who have experienced male pattern hair loss for 5 years are appropriate candidates to benefit from DHI hair transplantation. DHI can be an option for males who don’t give positive reactions to medical hair loss treatments.
