What is the difference between FUE and DHI?
The question comes up again during consultations, patients using these terms FUE and DHI sometimes inappropriately.
It must be said that the Internet is not there to clarify things, "professional" sites mixing brushes between these terms and sometimes using them erroneously.
To understand their meaning, you have to go back to the original meaning:
- FUE : Follicular Unit Extraction : This means that it is a Follicular Unit Extraction technique.
- DHI : Direct Hair Implantation : This is a hair implantation technique.
FUE is a different implantation technique from FUT ( Follicular Unit Transplantation ): otherwise known as the “ strip ” technique.
Therefore , in order not to confuse these 2 terms, the FUE technique is therefore an extraction technique , while the DHI technique is an implantation technique .
Thus a graft can be taken in FUE, and implanted in DHI.
The other technique of implantation is the realization of
- slits: by various tools: Needle Nokor, Blade Beaver, Blade Sapphire...
- Holes: by solid needles, hollow...
The most common implantation technique in this context is the slit technique using sapphire blades, it is also called FUE Sapphire .
The DHI implantation technique is a technique using the implanter pens , also called Choi implanters . Thus an implantation by choi implanters can be following a removal by FUE or FUT.

Beard and Mustache Transplantation
Our Team
Mustafa Yilmaz
My vision of hair transplantation is totally in line with this perspective: to be at the service of regained well-being through effective techniques that give natural results. The hair, in women of course, but in men, it is the force of life, it is the finery. Losing them is truly an injury, a trauma. It’s terrible!
Also, I enjoy listening to my patients and never judging them. I am then able to give them the best advice and allow them to regain their self-confidence.
I naturally surrounded myself with a caring, expert and extremely rigorous team in its field to be sure to offer men and women who suffer from baldness solutions that work, without ever ignoring safety and reliability.
The used techniques depend on Dr. Mustafa Yilmaz decision after doing the medical diagnosis, Choi Pen / DHI - Sapphire - Micro FUE are used normally in our operations.
Emine Karabash
I started dermatology almost 15 years ago now and thanks to my encounters with other dermatologists, I quickly turned to medical aesthetics.
More and more women and men want to feel good about their hair, and when this is the case, one gains confidence in oneself, in everyday life, in social life and in work.
I have also always remained "classic", in this movement that is now called the "Soft touch", namely to privilege discretion, elegance, and of course, naturalness. Not ostentatious! I prefer to repair what is damaged, rather than change or modify.
The used techniques depend on Dr Emine’s decision after doing the medical diagnosis, Choi Pen / DHI - Sapphire - Micro FUE are used normally in our operations.
