In DHI hair transplantation, local anesthesia is administered and the grafts are extracted using the FUE technique, with or without shaving. Depending on the thickness of the graft, the appropriate CHOI pen is selected for insertion. Grafts are carefully placed in the CHOI pen and channels are created for implantation. The DHI method uses two different Choi pens, with an average of 10-12 Choi tips selected based on graft thickness. This technique is adaptable and effective for treating different types of hair loss, such as regional loss and forehead reduction. DHI offers personalized treatment in a short time frame, making it ideal for protective hair transplantation with a quick recovery period.
In traditional procedures, hair is cut short (0.3 mm), unsuitable for social or professional settings. The unshaved transplant does not shave the bald area, ideal for smaller areas such as scars or frontal lobes. For grafts over 2000, shaving may be preferred. In unshaved transplants, a specific area of the donor is shaved to ensure that enough grafts can be extracted.
DHI hair transplantation is performed painlessly with anesthesia administered at the beginning of the procedure. By eliminating the intermediate cutting step, disturbance to the receiving area is minimized. Grafts extracted using the FUE method are directly implanted using the Choi pen.
The Choi pen method enables direct implantation of FUE extracted grafts without prior incision. However, it is specific to cases where DHI is recommended; it is not suitable for every operation, especially when treating extensive bald areas that require multiple transplants. Attempting DHI in such cases may yield unsatisfactory results. For further details, contact our consultants via email or WhatsApp.
