DHI Hair Transplant
What is DHI Hair Transplant?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant is a surgical procedure to restore hair to areas of the scalp with thinning or balding. It involves transplanting hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back of the head, to the affected areas.
How is DHI Hair Transplant Performed?
During a DHI hair transplant, hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a special tool called a Choi Implanter Pen. The extracted follicles are then immediately implanted into the affected areas of the scalp using the same instrument. This technique minimizes the risk of damage to the hair follicles.
After Surgery Treatment
Recovery from a DHI hair transplant typically takes a few weeks. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully, which may include:
• Avoiding strenuous activity for several weeks.
• Taking pain medication as prescribed to manage discomfort.
• Keeping the transplant area clean and dry.
• Attending follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress.

Things to Be Careful About
While DHI hair transplant is generally a safe procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with it. These may include:
• Scarring: The donor area may have visible scars.
• Asymmetrical results: It may be difficult to achieve perfectly symmetrical results.
• Infection: There is a risk of infection at the transplant site.
• Hair loss: Some of the transplanted hair may fall out temporarily, but it should regrow.
If you’re considering a DHI hair transplant, it’s important to discuss the risks and benefits with your surgeon to determine if it’s the right procedure for you.
