Are you looking for a professional clinic to get a hair transplant?
DHI means “Direct Hair Implantation.” In this method, grafts are collected with a medical pen called a Choi pen, which should be used only by specialists, and then the hairs obtained with this pen are placed directly onto the skin without opening an incision or channel.
In traditional hair transplantation methods, extraction and implantation are separate steps; thanks to the special Choi pen, DHI combines these into a single process, providing greater comfort and convenience for the patient. In short, while the FUE technique has three stages, DHI has two stages. The aim is to increase graft survival, deliver a denser appearance, and allow patients to return to daily life quickly without shortening existing hair.
Hair follicles are removed from the donor area under local anesthesia and collected with the special Choi pen.
Then, the follicles are implanted directly into the scalp using the same device. This pen has a very thin, pointed end that accommodates the graft; when pressed into the scalp at the correct angle, it simultaneously creates the microchannel and deposits the follicle without damaging healthy tissues, allowing for more frequent and precise implantation.
Because follicles are implanted immediately after extraction, there is no waiting period, which increases graft retention rates and the likelihood of healthy growth.
Though the technique has existed for some time, it has become popular recently due to its efficiency and superior results. The entire procedure—lasting about 10–12 hours—must be performed by experienced specialists to ensure optimal outcomes.
As with robotic surgery and FUE, the first post-operative check occurs the day after the procedure. Scalp washing begins on day two and continues for eight days to ensure proper healing and graft integration.
Turkey has become a global center for hair transplantation, especially Istanbul. Competitive pricing—much lower than in Europe and other regions—draws patients worldwide. Many Istanbul clinics offer DHI hair transplantation packages that include accommodation, transportation, medical procedures, and post-operative care.
