DHI Hair Transplant

DHI Hair Transplant is one of the most modern treatment methods applied to those experiencing hair loss problems. Hair loss can affect a person’s physical and psychological well-being. Individuals with hair loss not only appear older but may also experience a lack of confidence and dissatisfaction. People whose visual appearance is affected may face challenges in their social and professional lives. However, with advancing treatment methods, this issue can be resolved, and individuals can regain healthy and thick hair.

DHI hair transplant is a method that helps restore not only lost hair but also lost self-confidence. This pain-free, risk-free procedure with a high success rate stands out among modern hair transplant technologies.

What is DHI Hair Transplant?

DHI (Direct Hair Implant) hair transplant is a procedure in which hair follicles are individually extracted and transplanted into hairless areas without being stored. Hair loss can result from various factors such as genetics, aging, poor nutrition, and stress. Individuals experiencing hair loss may feel uncomfortable due to the negative impact on their appearance and may suffer from a decrease in self-confidence.

Who is Suitable for DHI Hair Transplant?

DHI hair transplant is an ideal treatment method for many individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning hair. Candidates for this procedure should be in good overall health and have a sufficient number of donor hair follicles. DHI hair transplant is particularly suitable for the following individuals:

In conclusion, DHI hair transplant is an effective method for both men and women, delivering successful results at every stage of hair loss.

How is DHI Hair Transplant Performed?

The DHI hair transplant procedure begins with a detailed examination to determine whether the individual is a suitable candidate for the method. DHI is typically recommended for individuals experiencing hair loss who prefer a shave-free transplant. However, it is important to note that the application area might still require some trimming.

DHI hair transplantation is performed under sedation, ensuring the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. The process starts with the extraction of hair follicles (grafts) one by one from the donor area using a special pen designed for the DHI technique. Then, the recipient area is prepared by creating tiny incisions with fine needles, and the grafts are inserted into these incisions. The needles used in the DHI method are extremely precise, with the thickest needle having a diameter of 1.2 mm. Needle selection depends on the thickness of the grafts being transplanted.

One of the major advantages of this method is that it doesn’t require incisions, which minimizes bleeding. Additionally, the grafts are not damaged during extraction or transplantation because each graft is carefully extracted and immediately implanted. However, this process can be time-consuming. Since each graft is transplanted individually, the procedure may be divided into multiple sessions depending on the size of the area being treated. On average, the procedure takes 6-8 hours, depending on the number of grafts and the size of the area to be transplanted.

In summary, DHI hair transplant is a method that delivers natural and effective results, but it requires careful and meticulous application.

What to Consider After a DHI Hair Transplant

After a DHI hair transplant, the patient can immediately return to their daily life. Mild side effects such as redness, itching, and scabbing in the treated area may occur but typically disappear within 7-10 days. To ensure the best results after hair transplantation, the following precautions should be taken:

• The head should be protected from impacts and contact. Avoid sleeping on the treated area.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
• Do not scratch, rub, or remove scabs from the treated area.
• Hair should not be washed, combed, or styled with accessories like hairpins or hats. Avoid using a hairdryer or applying cosmetic products.
• Refrain from using nicotine-based substances such as cigarettes.
• Avoid engaging in strenuous activities.
• Stay away from swimming pools, the sea, saunas, and Turkish baths.

The first hair wash after the procedure is done the day after the transplant under the supervision of a doctor. During the initial wash, a special lotion is applied gently to the scalp without rubbing or scrubbing. Washing, shampooing, and drying the hair require careful attention, so the first wash should only be performed by hair transplant specialists. After a DHI hair transplant, a total of 8 washes are performed. The first and last washes are carried out at our clinic, with the final wash involving the removal of scabs and cleaning of the scalp.

Is DHI Hair Transplant Permanent?

DHI hair transplant provides permanent results. To ensure that the newly grown hair is strong and healthy, it is important to follow the doctor’s recommendations and maintain proper aftercare.

Is DHI Hair Transplant Painful?

During a DHI hair transplant, the patient is sedated and remains in a drowsy state, so they do not feel any pain. The procedure does not involve incisions or bleeding. Grafts are carefully extracted and implanted using a special pen. No pain or discomfort is experienced during or after the procedure, and the DHI method offers a highly comfortable experience. There is no need for rest or painkillers after the procedure.

Why Choose DHI Hair Transplant?

What Are the Advantages of DHI Hair Transplant?

DHI hair transplant offers several benefits to individuals:

• The hairless area is restored with thick, healthy hair. DHI provides a natural appearance.
• Since no incisions are made and grafts are placed under the skin with a special pen, the recovery process is quick. There is no bleeding, pain, or discomfort.
• Compared to other hair transplant methods, there is less swelling post-procedure.
• DHI allows for up to 20% denser hair implantation compared to other methods.
• It is a more ideal method for patients with heart conditions or diabetes, as less adrenaline is used during the procedure.
• Hair follicles are quickly transplanted without being stored, preventing follicle loss and damage from air exposure.
• Grafts are implanted one by one, ensuring they are healthy, dense, and evenly distributed. The quality of transplanted hair is higher with the DHI method.
• High success rates are achieved in restoring hair to bald areas.
• There is no scarring after the procedure.
• It can be applied to short hair without the need for a full shave, making it nearly undetectable that a hair transplant has been performed.

DHI Hair Transplant vs. FUE Hair Transplant

The most suitable hair transplant method depends on the individual’s hair type, the desired results, and genetic factors. The doctor determines the best method after an examination, and the procedure is planned based on this outcome.

Both DHI and FUE hair transplant techniques have different features and advantages. Here are the differences:

• In the DHI technique, hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area with a special pen and implanted directly without being stored. In the FUE technique, single, double, or triple hair follicles are extracted and stored while channels are opened in the recipient area, which may reduce the quality of the grafts.
• Since the DHI method is applied more slowly, around 1,500-2,500 grafts are implanted per session. In the FUE method, around 3,000-4,500 grafts are implanted per session.
• The DHI method is minimally invasive, with grafts implanted through micro incisions without making larger cuts. The FUE technique involves opening incisions in the scalp.
• Recovery is faster and more comfortable after the DHI method. Recovery is slower with FUE compared to DHI.
• The DHI method does not require shaving the head and can easily be applied to short hair. The FUE technique requires shaving the hair.
• Achieving dense and thick hair is easier with the DHI method. In the FUE technique, multiple sessions may be required for dense and thick results.
