DHI Techniques

DHI, an advancement over the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, follows a similar procedure but distinguishes itself in critical ways. Unlike FUE, where hair channels are opened first and then individual follicles are implanted, DHI achieves both tasks simultaneously.

Mega DHI Technique

This technique allows for the transplantation of up to 7000 hair follicles and is performed over two sessions across consecutive days, providing enhanced hair density.

Extremely DHI Technique

Similar to Mega DHI, this technique enables the transplantation of up to 5000 hair follicles within a single session lasting 12-15 hours.

Candidates For DHI Hair Transplant

While DHI is a powerful technique, it may not be suitable for everyone. Generally, men and women experiencing androgenic alopecia areata, commonly known as male or female pattern hair loss, are ideal candidates for DHI hair transplantation.

To qualify for DHI hair transplantation, candidates should possess the following characteristics:

1. Age: Candidates should be over 25 years old, as hair loss can be more unpredictable before this age.
2. General Health: Candidates must be in good health to undergo the procedure.
3. Hair Density: The patient’s donor area should have sufficient follicles per square centimeter to accommodate the hair transplant.
4. Hair Diameter: Generally, individuals with thicker hair tend to achieve better results compared to those with thinner hair.

Pre-Procedure Instructions For DHI Hair Transplant

As with any surgical operation, DHI hair transplantation necessitates careful preparations for success and to mitigate side effects. Essential pre-procedure instructions include:

1. Refrain from drinking alcohol At least a week before the hair transplant to avoid weakening the effect of anesthesia.
2. Stop smoking For at least two weeks before the procedure, as it can reduce blood oxygen necessary for healthy follicle growth.
3. Avoid blood thinners Such as natural drinks like green tea.
4. Stop taking painkillers Containing aspirin and ibuprofen ingredients.
5. Follow a healthy and balanced diet Before the DHI hair transplant to prevent complications during or after the operation.

Stages Of DHI Hair Transplantation

The DHI hair transplantation procedure encompasses several stages:

1. First Stage: Determining the density of the donor area, bald area, and the number of follicles needed. The expert draws a new natural hairline.
2. Second Stage: Undergoing necessary tests and checkups, including blood tests and dermatology examinations.
3. Third Stage: Shaving the donor area for graft harvesting and administering local anesthesia for a painless procedure.
4. Fourth Stage: Harvesting hair follicles from the donor area via the Micro Motor and placing them in a saline solution (Hypothermosol) to keep them alive.
5. Fifth Stage: Hair transplantation, where follicles are placed in Choi pens, opening channels and implanting grafts simultaneously with a single click.

Post-Procedure Instructions For DHI Hair Transplant

Effective aftercare is crucial for successful results post-DHI hair transplant:

• Keep the head straight for three days to prevent swelling.
• Wear a headband for 48 hours to minimize swelling.
