What is a DHI hair transplant?

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is similar to the FUE hair transplant. Your surgeon will harvest hair follicles from a donor area and transplant them into regions affected by hair loss, thereby promoting new hair growth over time. However, the differentiating factor of a DHI is that the surgeon uses a specific implanting tool to inject the grafts into the recipient area.

Best Candidates for DHI Hair Restoration

Experiencing hair loss due to androgenic alopecia, commonly recognized as male or female pattern baldness.
Are over 25 years old.
Possess a hair density exceeding 40 follicles per square centimeter in the donor area, typically located at the back of the head.

The DHI Hair Transplant Procedure

The DHI hair transplant procedure at Care4Hair in Miami goes as follows:

Local anesthetic is applied to the area (shaving the head is unnecessary with the DHI method).
Your hair transplant doctor will remove follicles from the donor area using a fine-tipped tool.
Follicles are placed into the Choi Implanter Pen, a pen-shaped device, and directly inserted into the recipient area.
The Care4Hair team will then apply antibiotic cream and bandages to all affected areas for recovery.

Advantages of the DHI Hair Transplant Method

The DHI hair transplant method permits transplantation without shaving the scalp
There is no need to create incisions on the patient's scalp with DHI.
The DHI implanter better controls the implanted follicles' depth, angle, and direction.
Since the DHI technique does not require the canals to be opened before implantation, it minimizes the length of time hair follicles stay outside the tissue and ensures healthier transplantation.
Minimal pain and downtime after the DHI procedure.

Disadvantages of the DHI Technique

A slower process in comparison to other hair transplantation techniques
Higher costs in comparison to more traditional methods

DHI Hair Transplant Results & Recovery

Crusting, pitting, and postulation occur minimally with the DHI method, as it does not require cuts during hair transplantation. However, patients should expect "shock loss," a hair shedding within the first 3 weeks after the transplant. This is common and only signals your body's natural response to the surgery. Grafts will fall within 2 to 3 months after DHI hair transplant and gradually begin to grow again. At the end of the 4th month, the regrowth rate should be around 20-30%; by the 6th month, about 50-60%; final results should be visible approximately 12 months after the operation.

DHI Transplant Side Effects and Risks

Possible side effects of DHI can include:

Bleeding.
Infection.
Inflammation.
Itching.

Both the DHI and FUE procedures entail the extraction of healthy hair follicles from one region of your scalp and their transplantation into areas that have experienced thinning and hair loss. What sets the DHI technique apart is that the surgeon uses a specific follicle implanting tool, a Choi Implanter Pen, to inject the grafts into the recipient area instead of manual implantation. Because of this, DHI does not require the same incisions needed for the FUE technique. Because the follicles are swiftly moved from the donor to transplant sites, they spend less time detached from the body, ensuring a healthier transplantation.

Compared to FUE, DHI is often considered a more effective hair transplant procedure since it allows the surgeon to determine the direction and dimensions of hair growth. It will enable more dense and natural-looking results. The follicles are also implanted more quickly after removal. Additionally, recovery from a DHI hair transplant is faster than with FUE.

Yes, the outcomes of a DHI hair transplant procedure are enduring and considered permanent. Your healthy follicles will be moved to a new area, and natural, endless hair growth begins within just a few months. However, for the best results, the surgery should be performed by a proficient hair restoration specialist. He enforces post-procedure care instructions for all his patients to ensure optimal hair regrowth and patient satisfaction.

Due to the advantages of this method, the success rate of a DHI hair transplant has reached up to 95%.

The hair growth direction and dimensions are set as desired with the hair-sowing pen, allowing for fuller and more natural results.

No. Your team of specialists at Care4Hair will administer local anesthetic when performing a DHI hair transplant as we would any other procure. Any slight discomfort following the procedure can be readily alleviated using over-the-counter analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs.

DHI hair transplants can be safely performed on a patient of any age. However, patients between 30 and 50 are considered optimal candidates since hair loss begins to stabilize at this age.

Allergic reactions to anesthesia and infections are rare after a DHI hair transplant but do occur. Following the surgeon's post-operative care instructions and disclosing your medical history during the initial consultation is vital to preventing such complications.

If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, kindly notify our team of professionals during your initial consultation. With a detailed medical history, the Care4Hair hair specialists in Miami will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.
