What is the DHI (Choi Pen) Technique?
DHI is a procedure where grafts (hair follicles) taken from the donor area are placed directly into the scalp using special implant pens called “Choi”, without the need for any incisions or channel opening. This method aims to increase the vitality rate by minimizing the time hair follicles spend outside the body.
How Does the DHI Hair Transplantation Process Work?
The DHI method consists of three main stages that require microsurgical precision:
Why the DHI Method? What Are the Advantages?
The reasons for preferring the DHI method in hair transplantation applications are as follows:
- ✅ Possibility of Unshaven Transplantation: Transplantation can be performed without cutting the entire hair, especially for women and those with long hair.
- ✅ Ideal for Densification: It is easier to work between existing hair, making it suitable for increasing hair density.
- ✅ Fast Recovery: Since no channels are opened, the risk of bleeding and crusting is lower compared to classical methods.
- ✅ Natural Appearance: The exit direction and angle of the hair can be determined much more precisely with the pen.
Who Is It Suitable For and Post-Process
DHI hair transplantation is suitable for people experiencing genetic hair loss, those who want to renew their front hairline, or those requesting densification in thinned areas.
Post-Operative Care: Sensitivity is important in the first 1-2 weeks after the procedure. The process normalizes as the crusts shed. It takes an average of 6-12 months to see the adaptation of the transplanted hair and permanent results (after the shock shedding phase). Our experts are with you with periodic checks during this process.
