Dhi ( Direct Hair Implantation )
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is a hair transplant technique that is similar to Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) but involves a more direct and specialized approach to hair follicle implantation. DHI is characterized by the use of a specialized tool called the Choi Implanter Pen, which allows for the direct implantation of hair follicles into the recipient area without the need for pre-made incisions.
Here's an overview of the DHI process:
Hair Follicle Extraction: Similar to FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a micro-punch tool.
Placement in the Choi Implanter Pen: The extracted hair follicles are then loaded into the Choi Implanter Pen, a tool with a hollow needle that holds the graft and allows for precise control over the depth and angle of implantation.
Direct Implantation: The surgeon uses the Choi Implanter Pen to create tiny incisions in the recipient area and simultaneously implant the hair follicles directly into these incisions. This process is performed in a single step, allowing for a more direct and controlled placement of the hair grafts.
Advantages of DHI:
Precision: DHI offers precise control over the depth, angle, and direction of hair follicle implantation, resulting in a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
Minimized Handling of Grafts: Since the hair follicles are placed directly using the Choi Implanter Pen, there is minimal handling of grafts, reducing the risk of damage to the follicles.
Faster Healing: The minimally invasive nature of DHI may contribute to faster healing compared to some traditional hair transplant methods.
No Pre-made Incisions: DHI eliminates the need for pre-made incisions in the recipient area, which can reduce the overall procedure time.
It's important to note that the success of a DHI procedure, as with any hair transplant, depends on the skill and experience of the surgeon, the quality of the donor hair, and the suitability of the patient for the procedure. DHI has gained popularity for its precision and the ability to create natural-looking results, making it a preferred choice for some individuals seeking hair restoration.
