Overview
About Hair Transplant
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is the most advanced hair restoration technique available today. Hair follicles are implanted directly into the scalp using a precision implanter pen: no pre-made incisions, no scalpel, no stitches.
This gives surgeons exact control over the angle, depth, and density of every graft, resulting in a natural hairline design with no visible linear scarring.
Benefits
- No cuts, no stitches, no linear scar: DHI uses a pen-like tool, not a scalpel
- Higher graft survival rate than traditional FUE
- Precise, natural-looking hairline design
- Minimal downtime: most patients return to non-physical work within 5–7 days
- Permanent results using your own hair
What to Expect / Risks
- Temporary redness, swelling, and scalp sensitivity in the first 1–2 weeks
- Transplanted hair sheds around week 3–4 before new growth begins (this is expected, not a sign of failure)
- As with any procedure, there is a small risk of infection if aftercare instructions aren't followed
- Final density is only fully visible at month 12–18, so realistic expectations matter
Candidacy
Am I a Good Candidate?
Good candidates typically have:
- Visible hair thinning or a receding hairline (Norwood scale 2+)
- Sufficient donor hair at the back/sides of the scalp
- Good general health, no uncontrolled chronic conditions
- Realistic expectations about density and results
- Stabilized hair loss (or medically managed alongside surgery)
May need further evaluation if you have:
- Very early-stage or rapidly progressing hair loss
- Insufficient donor density for desired coverage
- Uncontrolled diabetes or active scalp infections
- Certain blood disorders
