The Pinnacle of Transplant Precision
While FUE is an excellent technique, Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) takes hair restoration a step further. DHI is an advanced modification of the FUE technique that revolutionizes the way hair follicles are implanted into the scalp, resulting in unmatched density and aesthetic control.
At DermaTales, we utilize the specialized Choi Implanter Pen for our DHI procedures. Unlike traditional FUE, where the surgeon must first make incisions (channels) in the scalp before inserting the grafts with forceps, the Choi Pen allows us to pierce the scalp and implant the follicle simultaneously. This eliminates the need for prior channel opening, minimizing scalp trauma and bleeding.
How DHI Works
The extraction phase in DHI is identical to FUE—follicles are individually harvested from the donor area. However, during the implantation phase, the extracted grafts are carefully loaded into the hollow needle of the Choi Pen. The surgeon then presses the pen directly into the scalp, deploying the graft into the tissue in one swift, seamless motion. This direct method allows the surgeon to control the exact depth, angle, and direction of every single hair with 100% precision.
Advantages of DHI over Traditional FUE
Maximum Density
Because no prior channels are made, grafts can be packed much closer together, yielding a highly dense result.
Higher Survival Rate
Grafts spend less time outside the body and undergo less handling, increasing their survival rate significantly.
Unshaven Options
DHI is particularly suited for "unshaven" hair transplants, making it ideal for women or men who don't want to buzz their hair.
Ideal Candidates
- Individuals seeking maximum density, especially at the hairline.
- Patients who prefer not to completely shave the recipient area.
- Those needing precise placement, such as for eyebrow or beard transplants.
Considerations
- DHI is a more time-consuming and meticulous procedure than FUE, making it slightly more premium.
- It requires highly specialized surgeons trained specifically in Choi Pen mechanics.
The Treatment Journey
Extraction
Follicles are individually extracted under local anesthesia using micro-punches.
Loading the Choi Pen
A dedicated team carefully loads the grafts into the Choi Implanter Pens.
Direct Implantation
The surgeon directly injects the grafts into the scalp at precise 40-45 degree angles to mimic natural hair growth perfectly.
Rapid Recovery
Because there are no large channel incisions, crusting and bleeding are minimal, allowing for faster healing.
