DHI

The FUE in DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is promoted as a new technology. This is a partially false statement as Dr. Choï's implanter is an invention from 1991. However, its use in FUE is relatively new since this FUE variation has been practiced for more than a decade.

Definition of DHI Hair Transplant

The DHI hair transplant is a hair transplantation method that involves extracting hair follicles from the donor area and directly implanting them into bald or thinning areas of the scalp. This is done using a specially designed Choï implanter that performs both incision and insertion in a single step.

The FUE / DHI Technique

The DHI is based on the same methodology as the standard FUE technique, but with variations in the process and instrumentation. This allows for hair transplantation without the need to completely shave the patient's head, making the procedure more discreet.

Donor Area in DHI

In this case, follicular units are extracted from a donor area exactly as in FUE. There is no difference between FUE and DHI in the donor area.

Recipient Area in DHI

Then, a grafting stylus (Choï implanter) is used to allow the grafting of follicular units at the same time that incisions are made in the recipient area. This technique is ideal for adjusting re-densification in patients with low density in certain areas. However, for interventions requiring a significant implantation of follicular units, we recommend the standard FUE technique. If the patient's personal circumstances do not allow for head shaving, with DHI, you can also benefit from a minimally invasive permanent hair solution, without visible scars and with natural results.

Materials and Choï Implanter

The DHI hair transplant uses a Choï implanter. The Choï implanter is an innovative tool that allows the follicle to be injected and minimizes bulb trauma when it is forced into the incision.
