DHI ( Direct Hair Implant)
With DHI Direct Hair Implantation hair follicles are implanted one by one directly to the thinning area that needs to be covered. Each hair follicle is placed in a specific direction, angle and depth, thanks to the DHI patented tool, the DHI implanter, providing 100% natural results and maximum viability. The implanted hairs continue to grow throughout a person’s lifetime and do not fall out.
The whole procedure is performed by a trained and certified specialist, and under strict DHI quality standardization protocols that we have set up to ensure great results every time.
How does it work?
1. Extraction Phase
Hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area (the back and using a specifically designed disposable tool with the diameter of 1mm or less. The follicles are then kept at a specific temperature and in a solution that enhances their development after placement, without separating, cutting or generally handling the grafts.
2.Implantation Phase:
The hair follicles are implanted directly into the region suffering from hair loss using a patented tool, the DHI Implanter, also with a diameter of 1mm or less, without the prior creation of holes or slits.
3. Natural result:
Full control of the depth, direction and angle of the placement of each graft, ensures 100% natural results, maximum viability and that the implanted hair will never fall out and will grow for a lifetime.
Advantages of DHI
- Success Rate up to 97%.
- Only a DHI certified, trained specialist performs the entire procedure.
- No touch policy and the Total Care System, which ensures minimal handling of the follicles.
- No processing or dissecting of the hair follicles – means no trauma to the roots.
- No stitches or scalpels used or needed since we do not use the outdated FUT method.
- No visual scarring what so ever to both the donor and implanted area.
- No microscopes used to divide the grafts.
- No holes or slits prior to implantation of the follicles.
- Minimal handling and time out of skin of the hair follicles, which ensures a viability and success rate.
- Depth, direction, and angle are totally controlled due to our specially designed DHI Implanter.
- New regrown implanted hair look 100% Natural, and does not fall out again through a person’s lifetime.
DHI VS FUE
- DHI uses the special Implanter (Pen) to precisely control the angle, depth and direction of the implanted follicle. This method creates an all-natural hairline and natural look.
- In DHI technique, the extracted grafts are directly implanted into the recipient area, whereas in FUE technique, extracted grafts are kept in a special solution. Then, canals are opened in the recipient area and finally extracted grafts are implanted into the opened canals. There is no extra step of opening canals in DHI.
- There is no bleeding in DHI since the implantation is performed with the special Implanter without open canals.
- There is no crusting, pitting and postulation in DHI.
- It is possible to implant 45-60 grafts per cm2 in FUE, however, it is possible to implant 80-90 grafts per cm2 in DHI without reducing the scalp blood supply. That means the possible maximum density can be achieved with DHI. For example, in a certain receding area over the front hairline, if the maximum graft numb with FUE is 1,000; it could be 2,000 grafts for the same area in DHI technique.
- The maximum number of grafts in one session with DHI can be around 3,500 grafts per session, whereas in FUE it can be up to 5,000 grafts. So the patients who need over 2,000 grafts shall accept more than one sessionwith DHI.
- To give angle and direction for grafts is much easier and more successful in DHI with the special Implanter (Pen).
- There is no need for shaving in DHI, only the donor area is trimmed. In FUE, the whole scalp should be shaved before the procedure.
- The patient that has DHI can go to normal routine much quicker than the patient has FUE Hair Transplantation.
- The recovery is faster in DHI.
