DHI Hair Transplant
What is DHI?
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is an advanced variation of FUE. It uses a specialized tool called a Choi Pen to implant hair follicles in one step, reducing the time grafts spend outside the body.
Key Differences
- No Canal Opening: The Choi Pen creates the channel and implants the follicle in one step.
- Higher Density: Allows for closer placement of grafts.
- No Shaving: Often possible to perform without shaving the recipient area.
Pros
- Higher density possible
- No need to shave recipient area
- Less bleeding and faster healing
- Control over angle and depth
Cons
- More expensive than FUE
- Takes longer to perform
- Limited number of grafts per session
What Clinics Say About This Procedure
THE CLINIC, PARIS, FRANCE : The Choi implanter offers several significant advantages for hair transplantation:
- Precise control of the direction, depth, and angle of hair regrowth: Thanks to this technology, practitioners can influence the growth direction of the implanted hairs, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing and, above all, customized result.
- A very fine tool, the Choi hair injector also ensures a much higher hair density than the traditional FUE method, which requires pre-cut recipient holes.
- This absence of traumatic incisions in the recipient area also reduces the risk of visible scarring or a ruffled appearance of the skin.
- Use of a beveled needle and a lateral groove: This specific implanter design facilitates the precise insertion of grafts, improving the quality of the hair transplant.
- When mastered, this Choi transplant technique also minimizes graft handling and preserves the grafts as much as possible, thus optimizing the regrowth rate.
