DHI Hair Transplant

To summarize a DHI hair transplant procedure, once complete numbness at the donor site through local anesthetic injections, individual hair follicles are extracted using a mechanized micro-punch tool. Subsequently, the extracted follicles undergo preparation for transplant. This process includes assessing the follicle quality to ensure viability and categorizing them based on their thickness and the number of hairs they carry.

The follicular units obtained from the donor area are then inserted into the Choi needles/pens. While pressing the plunger, the tool makes its tiny incisions and simultaneously places the graft into the incision, affording greater precision over the depth, angle, and direction of the implanted hair. As it is seen, Choi’s pen seamlessly integrates the two phases: incision opening and implantation. This distinction is why DHI hair transplant in Turkey is characterized as a two-step procedure, unlike other techniques that typically involve three steps. The DHI technique also allows the protection of existing hairs and the grafts that were transplanted in the previous sessions.

Eligibility for a hair transplant depends on several factors, and consultation with a qualified medical professional is essential for personalized advice. Typically, suitable candidates exhibit a stable donor area with an ample supply of healthy hair follicles suitable for transplant. Maintaining good overall health is imperative, as chronic conditions or specific medications may influence the procedure’s success. Moreover, individuals should be devoid of active scalp conditions or infections and have realistic expectations regarding the results.

Additional considerations arise when preferring the Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) method for a hair transplant. Patients opting for DHI should ideally have relatively small hair loss or thinning area, as a maximum of 3000 grafts can be implanted in one session with the DHI method. For individuals facing localized hair loss or thinning in specific regions where an extensive graft count is unnecessary, Direct Hair Implantation provides the benefit of avoiding shaving. This can significantly benefit patients who want to preserve long hair. This highlights the importance of choosing a hair transplant method that fits the patient’s goals and the specific features of the target areas. It’s also important to note that alternative treatments may be recommended in some instances, as only some may be suitable candidates for a hair transplant.
