DHI hair transplant is suitable for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning who have a healthy donor area with sufficient hair follicles. It is ideal for those who want a high-density transplant without shaving their existing hair. A consultation with a specialist is required to determine eligibility.

Yes, DHI hair transplant provides long-lasting and natural-looking results. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from the donor area, which is genetically resistant to hair loss. Once implanted, these hairs continue to grow naturally for a lifetime.

DHI is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or tightness in the scalp afterward, but this is temporary and manageable with prescribed pain relief.

DHI is a minimally invasive technique that does not require incisions or stitches, meaning there is no visible scarring. Unlike traditional hair transplant methods, the Choi pen implant technique allows for direct follicle implantation, reducing trauma to the scalp.

The number of grafts that can be transplanted in a single DHI session typically ranges from 2,000 to ~4000, depending on the donor area availability and the recipient area’s needs. Unlike FUE, DHI requires more precision, so the number of grafts per session may be lower.

Yes, DHI is one of the best hair transplant methods for women, as it does not require shaving the entire head. This technique allows for targeted implantation in thinning areas while preserving the existing hair, making it an ideal choice for female hair restoration.

Initial hair growth begins within three to four months, but the full results of a DHI hair transplant typically take 12 to 18 months. During this time, the transplanted hair will gradually thicken and blend naturally with the existing hair.

After the procedure, mild redness, swelling, and scabbing may occur for the first few days. Most patients return to their normal routine within a week. The shedding phase (shock loss) happens around 2-6 weeks post-surgery, followed by new hair growth starting at three months. Proper aftercare and following the clinic’s instructions help ensure the best results.

DHI hair transplant is generally recommended for individuals aged 20 to 65, as hair loss patterns become more stable after the early 20s. While there is no strict age limit, younger patients may be advised to wait until their hair loss progresses to a predictable stage. Older individuals can also be good candidates as long as they have a healthy donor area and no medical conditions that could affect healing. A consultation with a specialist is essential to determine the best timing for the procedure.

Yes, we can use a DHI-specialised microcamera to calculate the hairs available for proper extraction. It’s also important to understand whether it would be enough for implantation. Moreover, younger patients can quickly adopt a second DHI procedure with good donor follicles for extraction.
