What is
DHI Hair Transplant?
DHI hair transplant developed by DHI Global Medical Group is an advanced version of the FUE (follicular unit extraction) technique. During FUE, the surgeon manually cuts channels in the scalp before implanting hair follicles. In contrast, the DHI technique uses a specialized pen-shaped (implanter pen) tool to cut and implant hair follicles simultaneously.
DHI vs FUE – Key Differences
Hair transplants are personalized procedures, adjusted according to the specific conditions of patients. However, the number of transplant procedures sometimes confuses individuals.
FUE and DHI are two popular methods used in the hair transplant industry. There are small differences between the two, understanding these will help you select the right method based on your requirements.
Here are key differences between DHI and FUE.
| Feature | DHI | FUE |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction | Individual hair follicles | Individual hair follicles |
| Implantation | Single-step process | Two-step process |
| Recovery Time | 1-2 days | 5-7 days |
| Scarring | No scarring | No scarring |
| Density | High density, ideal for small to medium areas | Average density, suitable for larger areas |
| Cost | Generally expensive | Less expensive |
Does My Hair Type Suit the DHI Method?
Yes, the DHI method is suitable for different hair types and characteristics. However, with advancements in the DHI method, the implanter needles tips now range from 0.64mm to 1.0mm enabling them to manage all hair sizes and widths effectively.
During the early stages of the implanter pen, such as the Choi pen, it posed serious challenges to certain hair types. Since individuals have different hair sizes and widths, it was not possible to use a single pen for every follicle.
The DHI transplant method has evolved to address this, making it an ideal solution for patients with different hair types and characteristics.

Consultation & Preparation
It is important to consult our hair surgeon to establish expectations and possible solution for long-term benefits. Moreover, it will also clear any doubts in your mind regarding the DHI technique. Once your candidacy is confirmed, our experts will prepare you for the transplant by trimming hair from the donor area. After which, the surgical team will administer anesthesia in the frontal and occipital parts of your scalp.
Donor Hair Extraction
A specialized tool known as the tweezer is used for extraction purposes. Depending on the donor site area, which are generally the back and sides of the head, surgeons will extract the desired amount of grafts. Hair follicles are extracted one at a time with a punch tool from the Hippocratic crown (occipital area), a place genetically programmed never allowing hair to fall out.
Recipient Site Creation
In this step of transplant surgery, the surgeon would prepare the recipient site by using a Choi implanter pen. This pen is capable of preparing the site and implanting follicles simultaneously.
Implantation
Follicles are implanted into the scalp at angle that will mimic natural growth. Surgeons use a blunt punch to make 0.6mm to 0.9mm incisions having a depth of about 2.5mm to 3.0mm. Likewise, on average 1-4 hairs per follicle are used for better results, helping you achieve longer hair.
