The DHI method of hair transplantation is an advanced technique that uses a specialized instrument known as the Choi implanter pen (DHI pen). This instrument allows the direct implantation of hair follicles in the desired area without the need to make canals or incisions beforehand. This results in minimal tissue damage and faster recovery.
The DHI method consists of two main steps: extraction and implantation of hair follicles.
Hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor region, from the back (occipital) part of the head, using a micro motor or a hand punch tool. The size of the punch tool can vary from 0.7 mm to 1.0 mm.
The extracted follicles are placed in the Choi implanter pen. Using this tool, follicles are directly implanted in the desired area on the scalp, controlling the depth, angle and direction of implantation. This process is minimally invasive and allows denser hair implantation.
Due to the precise control of the angle and direction of implantation, the results look more natural.
Without the need to make canals, the tissue remains less damaged, which reduces the risk of bleeding and infections.
Patients recover faster compared to other hair transplant methods.
A shorter time outside the body increases the chances of survival of the transplanted follicles.
The DHI method does not require cutting the entire head, which is more suitable for patients with longer hair.
Higher cost:
Due to the specialized tools and additional training for surgeons, the DHI method is usually more expensive than other methods.
Longer procedure duration:
The implantation process can be longer due to the precision required for each follicle.
The best candidates for DHI hair transplantation are people with androgenetic alopecia, which is the most common form of hair loss. It is also recommended for people under the age of 35, as the results are usually better for them. It is important to have realistic expectations and good hair density in the donor area. People with smaller areas of hair loss and those who want lower hairlines or sideburns are also good candidates.
•Avoid consumption of acetyl-salicylic acid and its derivatives (Aspirin, Bospyrin, Andol, Cardiopirin, Midol), vitamin supplements, products that stimulate blood flow or contain vitamin E. We advise you to consult with our experts before taking any medicine, either with with or without a prescription, during this period.
•If you feel fever, cough, difficulty breathing or body pain before the procedure, contact us immediately.
•Stop using topical hair care products that stimulate blood flow to the scalp, such as minoxidil.
•Avoid drinking alcohol for at least 7 days before the procedure, as alcohol can increase the risk of bleeding.
•Our staff will give you other important instructions for this period if necessary and which correspond to your specific needs, lifestyle or psychophysical condition.
•Refrain from strenuous physical activity or training to prepare for surgery.
•You will be invited by our team, and receive the necessary documents to sign before the operation.
• In this step, blood tests, a COVID test, HIV and HBV tests will be performed.
• Wash your body and hair with a mild daily shampoo.
Take all prescribed medications with you.
• In the morning, have a light meal for breakfast.
•Choose a shirt that is easy to put on and take off.
•When you arrive at the clinic, a hair transplant assistant will meet you.
•When you arrive at the clinic, a hair transplant assistant will meet you.
•Our experts plan the procedure and determine the line of hair growth.
•Local anesthesia is applied before the procedure itself to reduce pain.
•In this step, blood tests, tests for HIV, HBV and HCV will be performed.
•After taking the follicles from the donor area and the phase of opening the ducts, the follicle implantation phase follows, and the whole process takes 4-6 hours.
The recovery process after FUE hair transplantation takes place in several stages:
•Pain may be present for the first few days, but painkillers can help.
•Redness and swelling may occur in the transplant and donor areas during the first 10 days after the hair transplant.
•Itching disappears after a few days, and in case of itching, avoid touching the surgery area.
The first hair wash is done on the first day after surgery, and the same is done in our Polyclinic, where the professional staff of Poliklinika Dijamant will give you detailed written and oral instructions on how to care for your hair after the procedure itself. It is important to follow the instructions of our team on proper hair washing and care in the next 10 days.
Avoid contact, impact or friction on the transplant area, support the neck when lying down, and for the next two weeks avoid physical activities that could be challenging. By protecting the transplant area from direct sunlight in the first weeks after the procedure, you will enable a better and faster healing process.
