DHI Hair Transplant
Direct Hair Implantation with the Choi pen
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is a refined variation of FUE that uses a specialised implanter pen to place extracted follicles directly into the scalp without first creating incision sites — allowing for very precise angle, depth and density control.
Because follicles spend less time outside the body compared to traditional FUE, DHI can offer excellent graft survival rates, and its precision control is often favoured for hairline design and dense packing in smaller areas.
Key Benefits
- Precise control over angle, depth and direction
- Reduced time follicles spend outside the body
- Can achieve denser packing in targeted areas
- No pre-made incisions required
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Patients wanting maximum precision in hairline design
- Those with smaller areas requiring dense packing
- Anyone prioritising graft survival optimisation
What to Expect
Consultation & Design
Hairline shape and graft count are planned around your goals.
Follicle Extraction
Follicles are extracted individually from the donor area.
Direct Implantation
Follicles are loaded into a Choi implanter pen and placed directly into the scalp.
Density Mapping
Implantation follows a pre-planned density and direction map.
Recovery & Aftercare
Similar to FUE — scabbing resolves within about 10 days, with new growth beginning around 3-4 months and maturing over 9-12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is DHI different from FUE?
DHI uses a specialised pen to implant follicles directly without pre-made incisions, offering finer control over angle and density.
Is DHI more expensive than FUE?
DHI is typically a more intensive, time-consuming technique; pricing is discussed transparently during your consultation.
Who is DHI best suited for?
Patients seeking very precise hairline design or dense packing in a smaller area often benefit most from DHI.
