What is DHI Hair Transplantation?

DHI is a technique in which direct hair transplantation is performed. The most important difference about this process is the use of special equipment called the Choi pen. Due to the way the Choi pen is used, DHI is also known as “pencil hair transplant”. The grafts obtained from the donor area are placed in this special pen and transplanted to the bald area. The pens used in the DHI technique open channels for transplantation and are also used in graft transplantation. In this way, each hair transplant procedure is completed as a single step instead of two steps. All this is reflected in the success in practice.

What are the Features of DHI Hair Transplant?

DHI has been developed according to the needs of people in this field. Accordingly, it can be said that its characteristics positively and directly affect the success of the final result. Features can be listed as follows:

• A new hairbrush is prepared and used for each patient.
• With the equipment called Choi pen, a channel is opened to the bald area and the graft is placed at the same time.
• The recovery time is shorter as there is no need to open a channel as a separate processing step.
• The channels opened by the Choi pen fit well with the grafts, which means less bleeding.
• The hair transplanted with this technique is permanent.
• Haircut before the application is not required.
• The sowing angle can be easily adjusted when transplanting grafts with the Choi pen. This is a very important point for the natural look that emerges at the end.

In this method, the probability of damaging the hair follicles is 20 times less than in other methods. For example, while the rate of hair loss is 2% in the FUE technique, the same value is 0.1% in the DHI technique. As a result, less hair follicle loss is seen. With DHI hair transplantation, it is possible to transplant more hair per cm. This means that the hair looks denser and voluminous. Considering these features, it can be said that the DHI technique is safer, has a high success rate and provides more intensive hair transplantation.

DHI hair transplant

Modern technologies used in cosmetic surgery make it possible to achieve high results in a fairly short time and almost painlessly. For example, in hair transplantation, the DHI method is actively used today. What are its benefits? We will try to briefly outline the main ones.

The shortcomings of the methods of the past prompted doctors to look for new ways of hair transplantation. It was necessary to develop a technology that was painless and did not cause serious discomfort for patients. In addition, it is seamless, leaving no marks on the skin. This is how DHI (direct hair implantation) technology appeared. It combines 2 methods. Let's dwell on each of them in more detail.

Method

The transplanting process is carried out without the use of any cutting tools. The procedure begins with the fact that the specialist cuts out the "donor zone" in the back of the patient's head, removes the most healthy follicular associations ("bundles" of donor hair). To perform this procedure, a special microtubule is used, the diameter of which is from 0.5 to 0.9 mm. The obvious convenience of this method is that the traumatization of the hair follicles is practically zero, because there is no need to make incisions. In addition, "donor hair" is extracted from the uppermost layers of the skin, so the nerve endings are not affected.

It is also worth noting that when carrying out similar procedures today in Kazan, a unique Choi micro-instrument is used, which lowers the removed “bundles” of follicles to the required depth in the patient’s skin, while maintaining the natural angle of inclination of hairline growth. It is through the use of this technique that the effect of the density of the transplanted hairline is achieved. Already at the first stage of the procedure, it is up to 80 hairs per square centimeter, and at the second - up to 120-140. Of course, after such a procedure, there are no stitches and, moreover, there are no scars on the skin.

Here are some more benefits of DHI technology. It is precisely because there is virtually no surgical intervention that postoperative complications cannot be typical: not only scars and scars, but also bruises, swelling or reduced skin sensitivity. All this is excluded.

Practice has shown that more than 90 percent of the hair transplanted in this way takes root perfectly and never falls out.
