DHI

 1.    What is DHI?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is a hair transplant technique where hair follicles are directly implanted into the recipient area using a special pen (Choi implanter pen).
    2.    How is DHI performed?
Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area, loaded into a Choi pen, and directly implanted, allowing the channel creation and implantation to occur simultaneously.
    3.    What are the advantages of DHI?
It offers faster healing, less bleeding, higher density, and natural results.
    4.    How does DHI differ from FUE?
In FUE, channels are opened first and then grafts are placed, whereas DHI allows both to occur simultaneously using the Choi pen.
    5.    How long does the procedure take?
Typically 6-8 hours, depending on the size of the area to be treated.
    6.    Is the procedure painful?
No, as it is performed under local anesthesia, there is no pain during the procedure.
    7.    What is the recovery time after DHI?
Mild swelling and scabbing may occur in the first few days, with full recovery in a few weeks and results visible soon after.
    8.    What are the risks of DHI?
Minimal risks include infection, swelling, scabbing, and temporary numbness.
    9.    How permanent are the results?
Hair transplanted with DHI is permanent and grows naturally.
    10.    When do transplanted hairs start growing?
Hair growth begins in 3-4 months, with full results visible in 12-18 months.
    11.    Will there be any scars after DHI?
Since the Choi pen allows for precision, scarring is minimal or absent.
    12.    Is DHI suitable for everyone?
Yes, it is suitable for most people with adequate donor hair and hair loss issues.
    13.    Can higher hair density be achieved with DHI?
Yes, the Choi pen enables closer placement of follicles, allowing for a denser appearance.
    14.    What is the cost of DHI?
It may be more expensive than FUE due to the specialized technique and equipment.
    15.    What are the disadvantages of DHI?
DHI takes longer and can be more costly; additionally, not all clinics have experienced specialists for this technique.
