DHI Hair Transplant Turkey

DHI Hair Transplant Turkey

For individuals dealing with genetic hair loss and seeking a permanent solution, a common choice is a hair transplant. Once this decision is made, patients encounter various hair transplant procedures, and one prominent modern method is Direct Hair Implantation (DHI).

The main difference between DHI and FUE is how they put the hair grafts into the skin. FUE uses small cuts made by hand, while DHI uses a special pen-like tool to insert the grafts.

People with androgenic alopecia, known as male or female pattern hair loss, are often considered ideal candidates for hair implantations. Several characteristics contribute to suitability for hair transplantation, including age (preferably over 25 to minimize unpredictability), hair diameter (thicker hair often yielding better results due to enhanced coverage), donor hair density (a crucial factor, with less than 40 follicles per square centimetre at the donor site indicating poor candidacy), hair colour (light or closely matching skin tone tends to achieve optimal results), and having realistic expectations, as satisfaction with the outcomes is closely linked to expectations.

DHI Hair Transplant Turkey Before & After Results

What is DHI Hair Transplant?

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant is an advanced hair restoration technique, employed using a specialized tool named Choi Implanter Pen to implant the missing hair follicles into the recipient area. This differs from FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant, which involves removing hair follicles from a donor area and then implanting them into the recipient area.

One of the main differences between a DHI hair transplant and an FUE hair transplant is the precision with which hair follicles can be implanted. With the Choi Implanter Pen, individual hair follicles can be implanted with great accuracy, which can result in a more natural-looking hairline and overall appearance. Additionally, because the hair follicles are implanted into the recipient area directly, there is less handling of the follicles, which can help to minimize trauma and increase the chances of successful graft survival.

Also, DHI hair transplant typically involves less downtime and faster recovery times compared to FUE. This is because the DHI technique involves less trauma to the scalp, and the small size of the Choi Implanter Pen means that there is less damage to surrounding tissue.

DHI Hair Transplant Procedure

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) procedure begins with a thorough examination and diagnosis of the individual's hair loss pattern. Based on this assessment, the best approach for the transplant is determined, considering factors like hair density, donor area availability, and overall hair health. The planning phase involves outlining the transplant design and the number of grafts needed.

During the procedure, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area and transplanted into the recipient site, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome. Post-procedure care and follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the progress and optimize the results.

Fast Facts

Operation Goal DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplantation method involves transplanting individual hair follicles directly into balding or sparse areas. This procedure aims to provide maximum density and natural appearance. DHI uses a pen-like device specially designed for precise application and allows the grafts to be transplanted directly, which speeds up the healing process and helps the results to be more natural.
Average Procedure Time It can usually take between 6-8 hours depending on the number of follicles harvested and transplanted.
Hospitalisation Does not require hospitalisation.
Average Length of Stay After the procedure, it is recommended that patients stay for an average of 3-4 days during treatment, especially for the first wash and controls.
Possible Side Effects Side effects such as mild pain, swelling and redness may occur after the treatment. These side effects usually subside within a few days. Since the DHI method is minimally invasive, it carries less risk of side effects compared to traditional methods.

Who is Suitable for This Treatment?

People experiencing androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern hair loss, are typically the best candidates for hair implantations. This condition is the most common type of hair loss.

Additionally, individuals over the age of 25 are generally considered suitable candidates, as hair loss before this age tends to be more unpredictable. The diameter of the hair plays a role, with those having thicker hair often achieving better results due to more coverage per follicle. Donor hair density is a crucial factor, and those with less than 40 follicles per square centimetre at the donor site may be considered poor candidates.

Hair colour, especially lighter shades or those closely matching the skin tone, tends to yield favourable results. Also, having realistic expectations is essential, as individuals with realistic expectations are more likely to be satisfied with the outcomes of their hair transplantation.

PROS & CONS

Cons are only possible downsides of the treatment, and should not be considered definite.

PROS

DHI offers precise implantation of hair follicles using the Choi Implanter Pen, resulting in a more natural-looking hairline.

The direct implantation method involves less handling of follicles, minimizing trauma and increasing the chances of successful graft survival.

DHI typically entails less downtime and faster recovery times compared to traditional methods, as it involves less trauma to the scalp.
CONS

DHI hair transplant is generally more expensive than traditional methods, which may be a factor to consider for individuals on a budget.

The number of grafts in a single DHI session is limited, requiring several days of work for transplants involving a high number of grafts.

Each DHI session results in new tiny round scars, and multiple sessions may increase the overall scarring.

Healing Process

The DHI method accelerates the healing process and patients can usually return to their daily activities a few days after the procedure. Full hair growth and aesthetic results may take several months to be seen and results are usually optimised within 6-12 months.

Proper aftercare is crucial to the success of any hair transplant procedure. After the operation, patients will be provided with specific instructions on how to care for their scalp and hair. It's important to follow these instructions closely to ensure that the transplanted hair follicles have the best chance of survival.

Some common aftercare instructions for a DHI hair transplant may include avoiding strenuous activity for a few days and avoiding direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Patients may also be advised to avoid styling products, such as gels or hairspray, for a period of time. In addition to these general aftercare instructions, patients will also need to schedule follow-up appointments with their hair restoration professional to monitor the progress of the transplant and ensure that the scalp is healing properly.
