While some experts consider the DHI method a new technique distinct from the FUE method, the FUE technique utilizes the Choi Implanter needle, eliminating the need for a canal, incision, or scar. This technique facilitates hair transplantation in narrow areas. This has led to a more successful no-shave hair transplant. The main factor distinguishing the DHI technique from the FUE technique is the use of the Choi Implanter needle.
The process of extracting hair follicles from the donor area is performed using the FUE technique. The collected hair follicles are then placed directly into the recipient area as a hair implant without opening a canal. The Choi needle used as an implanter is cylindrical, very thin, hollow, and sharp-tipped. This allows the hair follicles to be placed in the empty canal. Because of the needle used, this technique is also known as the Choi method.
First, the collected hair follicles are carefully placed one by one into the Choi Implanter pen by the assistants without damaging the follicles, and then they are given to the specialist for transplantation.
The doctor calculates the patient's previous natural hair direction and performs the transplantation at the most appropriate angle (average 40-50 degrees) using the pushing power feature of the Choi Implanter pen.
The dimensions of the Chio implanter pen used in this application are determined by the pens with the most appropriate numbers depending on the patient's hair type and thickness.
The Choi implanter pen technique was first discovered by experts in Korea. However, subsequent research revealed that the first Choi pens were not suitable for everyone because they damaged the fine, curly hair follicles placed at the implanter tip, resulting in unsuccessful transplantation results. With the latest modern developments,
Choi implanter pens are designed not only for thick and straight roots but also for all common hair types, ranging in thickness from 0.64 to 1 mm. Today, thanks to technological advancements, the DHI technique has become the most reliable technique with the highest success rate and the most effective, natural-looking results. Contact us for more information about the DHI hair transplant technique, which is only available at Haarex Clinic and a select few centers worldwide and provides the most successful, natural, and aesthetically pleasing results.
1. Design phase
2. Local anesthesia
3. Punch incision
4. Follicular unit extraction
5. TransplantationThe time the hair roots remain outside the tissue nutrient source decreases and the rate of root survival increases.
Since there is no channel opening, the incision area is at a micro level and the risk of bleeding is low.
The recovery process after hair transplantation is faster and more comfortable.
After hair transplantation, patients return to their daily lives faster.
With the DHI technique, unshaved hair transplants are more successful in narrow areas with easy direction calculations.
