DHI is one of the most recent techniques in hair
transplantation through which hair follicles are implanted one by one directly
to the bald or thinning area of the head thanks to the DHI patented pen-like
tool, the DHI implanter. Depth, direction, and angle are controlled by DHI
implanter and the certified, trained specialists who use the tool. As
implantation is done at the same time, DHI offers a solution for those who do
not want for the hair in the implantation area to be cut off completely. There
is no need for shaving in DHI hair transplant procedure, the donor area is
trimmed.

Preparation for surgery
Each and every DHI Hair Transplant procedure is tailored
to suit every individual’s needs, preferences and the clinic’s best practices.
When you arrive at the clinic, you will have your final consultation which will
be done face-to-face between you and your surgeon. When you have both gone
through the details of the DHI Hair Transplant procedure, your surgeon will
examine your overall health condition by carrying out physical and blood tests.
As you are being prepared for the surgery, your surgeon will give you a long-acting local anesthesia. This is done so that you feel comfortable during the surgery. Once the anesthesia kicks in, your surgeon will start the procedure. Since there is no need to make incisions in this type of a hair transplant, the next step will be the extraction process.
Extraction
Your surgeon will extract the hair follicles one by one from donor area, using a specially designed disposable instrument with a diameter of 1mm or less.
Implementation
The extracted hair follicles are then implanted directly
into the recipient area using an implant tool. No holes or slits are created
prior to implantation with DHI hair transplant procedure.
You can always ask your surgeon to give you sedatives, just in case you’re not calm during this phase. This will help you relax.
Post-op
A day after the surgery, you will have to return to the clinic for a quick review. Your surgeon will most likely give you a few instructions that you should carefully follow to make the recovery process flawless. Some of the instructions include:
