THE DIRECT HAIR IMPLANTATION TECHNIQUE
THE DIRECT HAIR IMPLANTATION TECHNIQUE? (DHI)
The DHI technique is one of the most advanced methods in todays hair transplantation surgeries. After the surgery, the new hair will continue to grow more naturally for life. This advanced technique enables an increase in survival and growth of the hair follicles because of the way in which the hair is managed during the procedure,
The procedure
Hair follicles, as well as the sebaceous glands and adventitial sheath, are extracted one by one from the donor area and then implanted directly into the scalp using a specially designed tool. There are no holes or incisions prior to implantation. In some cases the hair follicles are placed immediately after extraction, that is Protocol A and in some cases there is a delay in placement after extraction, Protocol B (Direct IN).
Please discuss the two options with your DHI Certified Medical specialist during a consultation.
What makes the DHI technique so good?
The DHI technique does not involve FUE, FUT, SCARS OR HOLES!
An advanced medical procedure with more natural results
Less pain after the procedure
A DHI Implanter is used which eliminates the need for incisions
Less human contact with hair follicles during the procedure.
Advantages
Smaller diameter punches (0.7-0.85 mm) lead to faster healing & less marks.
Direct implantation of grafts without receptions results in less trauma of the skin, less damage to the local blood supply and no scarring.
Less invasive.
Less traumatic.
Significantly reduced bleeding.
Minimal risk of infection as the hair follicles are transferred immediately from the donor area to the recipient area.
Less scarring after the procedure.
No microscope needed, so that the exposure of the hair follicles in intense light & heat is avoided.
No handling of the grafts is required, thus increasing the survival of the hair follicles.
Less tiring for the patient (seated position).
Diminished desiccation of the grafts (minimal time out of the skin).
Less anesthesia, less medication needed.
Increased graft survival.
