DHI Hair Transplant
Direct implantation for maximum density and precision
Overview
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced evolution of FUE where extracted follicles are loaded directly into a specialised Choi implanter pen and placed into the scalp without pre-made channels. This means the follicle spends less time outside the body, the angle and depth of each graft is more precisely controlled, and higher density can be achieved — particularly in the hairline. DHI is favoured for frontal hairline work and for patients who want to avoid shaving the recipient area.
Key Benefits
- ✓Higher graft survival rate due to reduced time outside body
- ✓Greater control over angle, direction, and depth of implantation
- ✓Higher density achievable — ideal for hairline reconstruction
- ✓No pre-made channels reduces scalp trauma
- ✓Unshaved DHI option available for discreet treatment
- ✓Faster healing of recipient area
Ideal For
- →Patients prioritising hairline precision
- →Women with diffuse thinning who cannot shave their head
- →Those wanting maximum density in a specific area
- →Patients with smaller areas to cover
Treatment Options
Standard DHI
Full DHI technique across the entire recipient area using Choi implanter pens.
Unshaved DHI
Neither donor nor recipient area is shaved — ideal for patients wanting complete discretion.
DHI Hairline Design
DHI technique focused specifically on the frontal hairline for ultra-natural results.
DHI for Women
DHI is particularly suited to female hair loss as it can be performed without shaving the full head.
What to Expect
DHI takes slightly longer than standard FUE due to the precision of the Choi pen technique. Typically 1–2 days in clinic. Consultation on day 1, procedure on day 2 (or combined). Aftercare briefing and first wash before departure.
Recovery Timeline
Similar to FUE — 3–5 days before resuming normal activity. Full results at 12 months.
