DHI Hair Transplant

A Modern Hair Transplantation Method Performed With A Choi Pen That Allows Direct Implantation Without Shaving.

What is DHI Hair Transplantation?

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is a modern and highly effective technique used in hair transplant. In this technique, hair follicles are individually harvested and then implanted directly into the recipient area by using Choi Implanter Pen without the need for pre-made channels. This allows precise control over the angle, direction, and depth of implantation, resulting in a natural, dense, and aesthetically pleasing appearance. With minimal trauma, a faster recovery process, and the ability to carefully design a natural hairline, DHI has become one of the most preferred hair transplant techniques today

How Is DHI Hair Transplant Performed At Estecapelli?

Consultation and Planning
01

Consultation and Planning

The hair transplant process begins with a detailed consultation and analysis to create the most accurate plan according to the patient’s individual hair structure and needs. At this stage, the AI-supported Tricholab device at Estecapelli is used to examine the scalp and hair follicles at a microscopic level. Thanks to the device’s high-resolution imaging technology, the density of the donor area, hair thickness, follicle structure, and hair exit angles are precisely evaluated. Based on this analysis, a density map of the donor area is created, determining scientifically how many grafts can be taken from which regions. This ensures that the integrity of the donor area is preserved while planning the optimal graft distribution for the frontal hairline design. The Estecapelli Tricholab system also provides detailed data on hair follicle health and the hair life cycle, forming the foundation for a personalized and natural hair transplant plan.

Collection of Grafts (Harvesting Follicles From the Donor Area)

Collection of Grafts (Harvesting Follicles From the Donor Area)

The first step of the DHI method is the collection of hair follicles from the donor area. At this stage, obtaining the highest quality grafts is very important. The expert team extracts the follicles one by one while maintaining the natural density of the hair.
Grafts are taken from areas resistant to hair loss, such as the nape of the neck.

  • Special micromotors are used during the procedure, minimizing damage to the hair follicles.
  • Each graft is carefully collected and preserved in special solutions to maintain its viability.
  • At Estecapelli, this stage is performed with maximum efficiency. Experts ensure that each follicle is processed healthily.

Hair Follicle Implantation (Implantation)

Hair Follicle Implantation (Implantation)

In the final stage, the collected hair follicles are placed directly into the implantation area using a special DHI pen called the Choi pen, without the need for pre-made channels.

  • Each hair follicle is implanted at an angle that matches the natural direction of the hair.
  • Experts work meticulously, especially in the frontal area, to ensure the hairline looks natural.
  • Optimal density is achieved to give the hair a natural fullness.

Thanks to Estecapelli’s experienced specialists, a natural-looking hairline and permanent results are achieved at the end of the procedure.

DHI hair transplantation stands out among modern hair transplant techniques with high precision, minimal tissue damage, and a rapid healing process. The advantages offered by the DHI Technique provide both natural aesthetic results and accelerate the patient’s recovery process.

02
Post-Transplant Scab Shedding Phase
Post-Transplant Scab Shedding Phase

The scab shedding phase is a natural part of the healing process following a hair transplant. During this period, the small scabs formed in the transplanted area gradually detach. The scabs are formed between days 7-10 and then are naturally detach under our guidance

03
Shock Shedding (Temporary Shedding)
Shock Shedding (Temporary Shedding)

Following the transplant, between months 1-4, most of the implanted hairs may temporarily shed. This occurs as the hair follicles transition from their active growth phase to a brief resting (inactive) phase while adapting to their new environment. After this stage, the follicles re-enter the growth phase and begin producing healthy, permanent hair.

04
Full Recovery Period: Strengthening of New Hair Recovery Time

Who Can Undergo DHI Hair Transplant?

Several factors play a role in the success of a hair transplant. Your suitability for hair transplantation is determined during the consultation (medical history) based on the analysis of your hair. At this stage, your highly experienced hair transplant surgeon will ensure the best hair transplant method for you. To make this decision, your doctor will consider the following factors:

Patients Seeking Hair Transplantation in Smaller Areas

The type and pattern of your hair loss are key factors in determining the most suitable hair transplant method. The best candidates for targeted DHI transplantation are those experiencing hair loss in specific areas, such as the hairline or crown, while other parts of the scalp remain unaffected. This technique allows for higher graft density per cm2 and precise placement, ensuring a natural-looking hairline and fuller appearance in smaller areas.

Individuals Looking to Increase Overall Hair Density

For individuals seeking to enhance overall hair density, DHI is the optimal approach. It allows for even distribution of grafts across the scalp, increasing overall density without damaging healthy existing follicles. With careful planning, higher graft density per cm⊃2; can be achieved, resulting in a natural, fuller appearance while preserving the integrity of your current hair.

DHI Hair Transplant Frequently Asked Question

Explore our Frequently Asked Questions to find quick, clear answers about Estecapelli’s services and patient experience.

After a DHI hair transplant, mild side effects such as swelling, redness, scabbing, or temporary itching may occur. These effects are temporary and usually disappear quickly with proper aftercare.

Yes. DHI hair transplantation is a permanent method. Hair follicles taken from the donor area, which are resistant to hair loss, continue to grow for a lifetime after transplantation.

After DHI hair transplantation, the implanted hair enters its natural growth cycle. Initial hair growth begins within a few months, while permanent and clearly visible results are typically observed between 6 and 12 months.

Since DHI hair transplantation is a minimally invasive method, the recovery process is quite fast. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days. Redness and scabbing decrease in a short time.

DHI hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia. Therefore, no pain is felt during the procedure. At Estecapelli clinics, patient comfort is prioritized at every stage, and the process is meticulously managed by an expert team.

Estecapelli stands out with its internationally experienced specialist team, advanced technological infrastructure, and patient-focused approach in the field of hair transplantation. Personalized DHI hair transplant planning ensures natural results and high patient satisfaction.

In DHI hair transplantation, the channel opening and hair follicle implantation are performed simultaneously, whereas in the Classic FUE method, these steps are carried out in separate stages. The DHI technique allows for more controlled and denser placement of hair follicles and provides a significant advantage, especially in frontal hairline design.

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplantation is a modern hair restoration method in which hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area and directly implanted into the recipient area using a special implanter pen (Choi Pen). This technique enables the implantation of hair follicles at natural angles, directions, and density, providing more aesthetic and natural-looking results.
