Since the DHI hair transplant method is very difficult to compensate and revise, you should definitely research and make the right decisions before deciding to have a hair transplant. So, what should you pay attention to before choosing your hair transplant specialist and center?
DHI Hair transplant, also known as "Direct Hair Implant", is one of the most preferred hair transplant methods in recent years. It is a method that can be applied to both men and women. In this article, we will evaluate 5 things that you should know about DHI hair transplantation.
1-) Hair Shaving Is Not Necessary for DHI Technique
Since the hair does not need to be shaved, the DHI hair transplant technique is a suitable hair transplant technique for both men and women. After DHI hair transplantation, patients can easily continue their everyday lives the next day. Transplanted hair starts to grow from the second month and continues to grow for an average of one year. When the growth of all the transplanted hair is completed, the hair growth cycle takes place in a standard order with your natural hair.
2-) No Scars with the DHI Hair Transplant Technique
There are no stitches or scars on your head in DHI hair transplantation, so the healing process is much faster than other techniques. With the DHI hair transplant method, you can obtain lifelong guaranteed and natural-looking hair. Hair follicles taken from the nape area are transferred to the bald area with hair transplant pens called "Choi". The rate of preserving the vitality of the transplanted hair is close to 90%. DHI is one the most modern hair transplant techniques, and both women and men can have the opportunity to have a healthy hair transplant with this method.
3-) Placement of Hair Roots
During the DHI hair transplant process, the hair follicles are transferred directly without opening any channels, and the operation is performed. During this process, the experience and knowledge of the doctor and the operators must be high. In order to achieve a natural appearance, the planting direction should be determined correctly, and the hair follicles should be placed with appropriate frequencies.
4-) Stretching the Skin
While performing hair transplantation with the DHI method (pen technique), pressure will occur due to the implanter pen needle being inserted. With this pressure, it is possible for other placed hair grafts to popping. To minimize this situation, the doctor's assistant stretches the scalp during transplantation. The auxiliary staff stretches the skin from the front, and the doctor stretches the skin behind the transplanted area. Stretching is even more important, especially in transplantation in the anterior regions. In addition, by stretching, the angle of entry of the grafts is further reduced and allows horizontal DHI hair transplantation.
5-) Importance of Correct Angle Determination
One of the essential criteria that ensure naturalness in DHI hair transplant operation is the correct angle determination. With the pen technique, desired angles can be achieved very easily in hair transplantation. Therefore, it is possible to obtain natural hair that cannot be distinguished from the real one. In addition, in classical FUE transplantation, the possibility of drying the grafts is higher than the Choi technique.
