The DHI technique is an advanced and precise method used in hair transplantation processes. It provides high accuracy in the extraction and implantation of hair follicles (grafts). Here are the key features and steps of the DHI technique:
In the DHI technique, hair follicles are extracted one at a time using a specially designed instrument, often referred to as a “Choi pen”. This tool allows for the extraction of follicles and their direct implantation into the scalp. The extraction process requires careful handling to minimize the risk of damaging the hair roots.
Once extracted, the hair follicles are stored in a special solution until the implantation process. This solution helps maintain the vitality of the follicles. In the DHI technique, the storage time for grafts is usually very short, which allows for quicker and more effective implantation.
Using the Choi pen, grafts are directly implanted into the scalp without the need for pre-made channels. This method reduces bleeding and scarring during the hair transplantation process and accelerates the healing phase. Additionally, the use of the Choi pen allows for more precise control over the angle and direction of the grafts, resulting in a more natural-looking outcome.
The DHI technique allows for high-density hair transplants. The surgeon can better control the density of the area being implanted and the placement of the grafts, thus achieving a more natural hairline and appearance.
The recovery process in the DHI technique is generally faster compared to other hair transplantation methods because the procedure is less invasive and causes minimal damage to the scalp.
The DHI technique is ideal for individuals who want to increase hair density and achieve a natural appearance. It is preferable in situations that require precise hair design and for implanting in smaller areas.
The DHI technique is a popular option among modern hair transplantation practices, offering the potential for effective and natural-looking results. A detailed initial assessment is necessary to tailor the procedure to the needs of each patient.
