Advantages and Disadvantages of DHI Hair Transplantation

DHI Hair Transplantation

DHI hair transplantation is a minimally invasive hair transplantation technique. DHI hair transplantation, also known as Direct Hair Implantation®, is the latest developed modern hair transplantation technique belonging to the FUE subgroup. It benefits from triple synergy-technology, teamwork, and technique.

What is DHI Hair Transplantation?

DHI hair transplantation is a hair transplantation technique that provides nearly 100% natural-looking results, uses the most advanced extraction and implantation tools with a diameter of 1 mm for faster healing, causes the least damage to hair follicles, and ensures a rapid healing process.

It has the most educated and experienced team of doctors and healthcare professionals. The procedures are performed by healthcare personnel specially trained and certified in this specialty field by LHRTA and leading universities in Europe.

What are the features of DHI Hair Transplantation?

DHI hair transplantation is the most advanced hair transplantation technique. Developed by the team that progressed from the tough FUT-Strip at the beginning of the century and developed FUE transplantation. In 2010, the research done in hair transplantation (DHI) enables the development of Direct Hair Implantation and today, Direct Hair Implantation® has started to be widely applied around the world as a technique that turns patients' hopes and expectations into reality.

With DHI hair transplantation or Direct Hair Implantation, hair follicles are placed one by one in areas of sparse hair that need to be planted one by one. Each hair follicle is placed according to a specific direction, angle, and depth, providing 100% natural results and maximum applicability through DHI patented tools and DHI implant. The implanted hair follicles continue to grow throughout a person's lifetime and do not shed again.

All procedures are carried out by doctors trained and certified by the DHI Hair Restoration Academy in London, which is specialized in hair restoration worldwide, and within strict DHI quality standardization protocols created to achieve perfect results every time.

What are the advantages of DHI Hair Transplantation?

Completely safe: Strict protocols are applied at all levels to ensure 100% safety in all procedures. Natural results: Full control over the depth, direction, and placement angle of hair grafts provides 100% natural results. Painless: Small disposable tools with a diameter of 1 mm or smaller are used for extraction and placement, i.e., hair follicle collection and placement. Maximum usability guarantee: While the graft viability rate is over 90%, the industry average ranges from 50% to 90%.

Applied only by expert surgeons and hair transplantation team: The transplantation process is carried out from start to finish by hair transplantation experts trained and certified by the DHI Academy.

Lifetime growth guarantee: Only genetically engineered healthy hair follicles designed to grow for a lifetime are selected and implanted.

How is the DHI Hair Transplantation technique applied?

In the extraction phase of hair follicles, each hair follicle is extracted one by one from the donor area using a special disposable tool with a diameter of 1 mm or smaller. The follicles are then kept in a solution that enhances their quality at a specific temperature and after placement without separating, cutting, or generally touching them.

During the placement phase, the hair follicles are directly implanted into the area where hair loss occurs using a patented tool called DHI Implanter, which has a diameter of 1 mm or smaller, without the need for pre-made holes or slits. This ensures full control over the depth, direction, and placement angle of each graft, providing 100% natural results, maximum applicability, and hair implanted never shedding and growing for a lifetime.

Advantages of DHI Hair Transplantation:

With DHI hair transplantation, the patient does not need to have their head completely shaved before the procedure if they do not want to.

DHI hair transplantation (Direct Hair Implantation) treatment is suitable for both female and male patients.

In most operations, patients can return to work the next day after the session.

When there is not enough hair in the donor area at the back of the head to cover the recipient area, or in cases of excessive hair loss, it is possible to use facial and body hair.

Since the implanted hairs do not shed, there is no need for long-term medication. However, medication applications are recommended to prevent thinning and shedding of existing hair.

Full results and complete hair growth take 12 months, but results, including the front hairline treatment, are visible within two months.

Why is the DHI Hair Transplantation technique the best technique?

Unlike other hair transplantation methods - such as FUE and FUT (Strip) - with Direct Hair Implantation, there is no need for extraction cuts or holes in the recipient area. Hair follicles are directly implanted into the area using the patented DHI implanter tool. This ensures full control over the depth, direction, and placement angle of each graft. Unlike other hair transplantation methods, DHI Direct Hair Implantation does not involve incisions, extraction cuts, or sutures. Hair follicular units are extracted one by one using a specially designed disposable tool with a diameter of 1 mm or less to prevent trauma to the area. With DHI Direct Hair Implantation, there is no processing of hair follicles to avoid necrotic cuts risk and also to avoid the effects of staying out of their natural environments for too long. Instead, the hair follicles extracted with DHI Direct Hair Implantation are placed and stored directly in a solution at a specific temperature to enhance their growth after placement. The procedure is performed by expert surgeons and teams. It provides 100% safety, natural results, maximum applicability, and lifelong growth every time.
