DHI
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are implanted directly into the scalp using a special implanter pen, ensuring precise control over depth, angle, and direction for natural-looking results.

DHI
DHI, or Direct Hair Implantation, represents one of the most refined methods in modern hair transplantation. Unlike traditional techniques, DHI uses a specialized Choi implanter pen to insert each follicle directly into the scalp without the need for creating pre-made incisions. This method allows for greater precision in placing the grafts, preserving their viability, and ensuring a natural-looking hairline and density. Particularly effective for patients seeking high-definition results with minimal trauma, DHI minimizes bleeding, reduces graft handling time, and supports faster recovery. At our clinic, DHI is performed by skilled specialists for maximum aesthetic harmony and success rates.
The DHI procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area using a micro punch and then immediately implanted using the Choi pen, which places each graft at a specific angle and depth. This allows for denser packing, especially in the hairline and crown areas. Since the technique avoids incision and channel creation, it reduces bleeding and accelerates healing. Most patients can resume their routine within a few days, and new hair growth begins around 3–4 months post-procedure, with full results visible at 12 months.
Purpose
Implants hair with pen-like precision tools.
Procedure
Grafts placed one by one without incisions.
Areas Treated
Scalp, temples, crown.
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is applied.
Recovery
Quick healing, less scabbing.
Results
High-density, natural hair result.
What is Rhinoplasty ?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose for aesthetic enhancement or functional improvement. It can address concerns like:
A dorsal hump
Drooping or bulbous nasal tip
Crooked bridge
Overall facial imbalance
In many cases, rhinoplasty is also performed to improve nasal breathing, particularly when combined with correction of a deviated septum.
At our clinic, board-certified surgeons take a personalized, detail-oriented approach, analyzing each patient’s facial structure to deliver natural-looking and harmonious results.
Rhinoplasty Process
1. Consultation
Detailed facial and nasal analysis
Discussion of aesthetic goals and functional concerns
Customized surgical plan tailored to your features
2. Surgical Procedure
General anesthesia is typically used
Hidden incisions (inside the nostrils) minimize visible scarring
The nose is reshaped (tip refined, hump reduced, bridge straightened, etc.)
If needed, internal corrections like a septoplasty are performed to enhance breathing
3. Recovery
Surgery duration: 2–3 hours
Outpatient procedure: most patients go home the same day
Swelling and bruising peak in the first week and subside within 1–2 weeks
External splint worn for about a week
Return to light activities and office work: typically within 7–10 days
Final results: refined nasal shape settles within 12 months

Overview
What is DHI?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is a refined hair transplant method that directly implants hair follicles into the scalp using a Choi implanter pen, ensuring precision and natural results without prior incision.
DHI involves:
Extraction: Individual follicles are harvested using a micro punch from the donor area
Implantation: Each graft is placed directly into the scalp using the implanter pen
Control: Surgeon determines the angle, depth, and direction for each follicle
It is ideal for patients wanting maximum density, precision, and minimal recovery time.
Process
DHI Process
1. Consultation
Hair and scalp evaluation
Analysis of hair loss pattern and donor capacity
Digital planning of hairline and density goals
Personalized graft count estimation and procedural plan
2. Surgical Procedure
Local anesthesia is administered
Follicles are extracted individually using FUE technique
Grafts are loaded into the Choi implanter and placed directly into the recipient area
No incisions or channels are made beforehand
Duration: 6–10 hours depending on graft number
3. Recovery
Mild redness or tightness for 2–3 days
Scabs fall off within 7–10 days
Hair shedding may occur (shock loss) around 2–4 weeks
New growth starts around 3–4 months
Full results appear by 9–12 months
Costs
Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
The cost of a facelift can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure, the surgeon’s experience, and whether additional treatments (such as a neck lift or eyelid surgery) are performed at the same time.
Typical cost range: $7,000 – $15,000

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about DHI? We’ve answered the most common concerns to help you feel confident and informed before your procedure.
How is DHI different from FUE?
DHI uses a Choi implanter to insert follicles directly without incisions, while FUE places grafts into pre-made channels.
Is DHI more painful?
No. It’s performed under local anesthesia and is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
Who is a good candidate for DHI?
Patients seeking natural hairline design, higher density, or minimal downtime may benefit most from DHI.
Are results permanent?
Yes. Transplanted hairs are resistant to hair loss and should grow permanently like native hair.
Is there scarring?
Tiny dot scars in the donor area fade with time and are barely noticeable.
When will I see results?
Initial growth begins at 3–4 months, with full results visible around 9–12 months.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to normal activities in 2–3 days. Scabs heal in about a week.
Can DHI be used for beard or eyebrow transplants?
Yes. Its precision makes DHI ideal for delicate areas like the beard or eyebrows.
How many grafts can be transplanted in one session?
Typically between 1,500–3,500 grafts, depending on donor availability and area to cover.
Does DHI require shaving the head?
In many cases, partial shaving is enough, especially for small areas. Full shaving may be required for larger sessions.
