DHI Technique in Turkey

DHI technique in Turkey stands for “Direct Hair Implantation,” a hair transplant technique using Choi Pens. It is a more advanced method than the FUE technique, where it is done in the same way as the previous operation, with a small difference that makes the difference, which is the use of DHI pens to place the follicles!

How is the DHI technique in Turkey performed?

• First, the doctor starts by determining the patient’s hair density.
• The recipient and the desired hair density are determined.
• The lines of the recipient area (hairline) are drawn with a pen according to each individual’s facial features and in line with the patient’s preferences.
• The next step is to select the donor area from which hair follicles will be taken for transplantation.
• Then, the anesthesia stage begins, with the donor area being completely numbed using tiny needles.
• The specialist identifies the best hair follicles in the donor area containing three or more hairs.
• The specialist extracts The best follicles from the donor area using a micrograph motor device.
• The micrograph device has a small diameter (0.7–0.9 mm) and is used to separate hair follicles from the scalp and remove them without leaving scars.

Note that | All the previous steps are similar to most hair transplant techniques, but now the difference comes through the following steps:

• In DHI technique in Turkey, Hair follicles are transplanted with a special pen and are not placed outside the head for more than 1 minute!
• The hair transplant procedure is performed immediately after the follicles are removed with the DHI pen, and this process is completed within seconds.
• Therefore, hair transplant operations using the DHI technique in Turkey have a success rate of up to 100%.
• We can use DHI technique in Turkey to transplant over 7,000 hair follicles in a single session.
• The transplanted hair begins to grow two to four months after the operation.
• Afterward, the patient notices rapid positive progress, and hair density increases by the 12th month after completing the hair transplant procedure.

What is DHI choi pen?

• It is called a pen because it resembles a complete pen but has a hollow needle at the end. This pen is used to place follicles on the scalp.
• DHI pens are tiny in diameter (about 1 mm), and this technique can, accordingly, place up to 80 follicles per square centimeter.
• Another benefit of the tiny diameter of DHI pens is that they leave no scars. These pens allow us to create tiny pores and implant follicles within them; even after two hours, these pores leave no marks.

Advantages of DHI technique in Turkey

• It allows the patient to return to everyday life quickly.
• Unlike other techniques that use DHI, the patient does not have to shave the hair in the transplant area.
• The transplanted hair looks natural and is unnoticeable. This is because the transplanted follicles are placed in a specific direction according to the hair structure.
• The use of fine DHI pens results in no bleeding.
• It is performed without surgery, stitches, or additional procedures, allowing only the transfer of hair follicles from the donor area to the recipient area.
