Description:

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is an advanced hair transplantation technique that allows for the precise placement of hair follicles without the need for pre-made incisions. In this method, hair follicles are implanted directly into the scalp using a specialized implantation device known as the Choi implanter pen. This reduces the time follicles spend outside the body, improving the survival rate of the transplanted hair. DHI provides the ability to control the direction, depth, and angle of implanted hairs, resulting in a more natural appearance and higher hair density.

Indications:

  • Androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss)
  • Patients with mild to moderate hair loss seeking natural hair growth direction and density
  • Patients preferring a minimally invasive method with faster healing and minimal scarring
  • Individuals desiring precise placement of hair follicles for an aesthetically pleasing result
  • People with limited donor areas or thin hair, where precise placement is crucial

Procedure:

  1. Preparation: The patient’s scalp is cleaned and locally anesthetized to make the procedure pain-free. The area for hair transplantation is carefully marked and prepared.
  2. Extraction of Hair Follicles: Hair follicles are extracted from the donor area, usually at the back of the head, using a micromotor or manually with a micropunch. The follicles are extracted individually to minimize damage to surrounding tissues and ensure optimal quality.
  3. Implantation: The extracted hair follicles are immediately loaded into the Choi implanter pen and directly implanted into the scalp. The implanter allows precise control over the depth, direction, and angle of the hair follicles, achieving a natural growth pattern and aesthetically pleasing hair density.
  4. Aftercare: After the procedure, the patient receives instructions on how to care for the scalp and new hair follicles. Regular follow-up visits with the doctor are necessary to monitor the healing process and avoid potential complications. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.

Benefits:

  • No need for pre-made incisions, making the procedure less invasive
  • Reduced time outside the body for hair follicles, increasing survival rates
  • Precise control of hair growth direction, depth, and angle for natural results
  • Faster healing and minimal scarring
  • High hair density and aesthetically pleasing appearance
