Ten advantages of a DHI hair transplant

  1. Minimally invasive. No large incisions or stitches. The procedure uses tiny needles and an implanter pen, reducing trauma to the scalp.
  2. No linear scarring. Unlike the FUT strip method, DHI leaves no linear scar because follicles are extracted and implanted individually.
  3. Higher graft survival. Follicles are implanted immediately after extraction with the Choi implanter pen, so they spend less time outside the body.
  4. Precise placement. The implanter pen lets the surgeon control the angle, depth and direction of every follicle, for a natural hairline and growth pattern.
  5. Faster recovery. Minimal trauma means less redness and swelling, so patients typically return to daily life sooner.
  6. Less bleeding and discomfort. The minimally invasive technique causes less bleeding and pain during and after the procedure.
  7. Natural looking results. Precise placement and density control produce very natural growth.
  8. Often no full shave. Many DHI procedures can be done without shaving the whole scalp, so you can keep your hairstyle during recovery.
  9. Suitable for various hair types. Precise implantation works well across different hair types, including curly and wavy hair.
  10. Customisable density. Follicles can be implanted more densely in targeted areas for better coverage and fullness.
