What is DHI Hair Transplant?

Unlike the traditional FUE method, DHI allows for transplantation without the need for shaving, offering a more comfortable and seamless experience for our patients. The biggest advantage of this method is that it combines extraction and implantation in a single step, ensuring greater precision, density, and natural-looking results.

Since they have thin and sharp ends, this process is easily performed without damaging the hair follicles. The needle used during the procedure is called “Choi needle”. In other words, this method is also called the “Dhi Choi Method”.

How is DHI Hair Transplant Performed?

At Este Hair Medical, the DHI hair transplantation process begins by carefully identifying the donor area the part of the scalp where healthy hair follicles will be extracted. Using advanced medical tools, our specialists gently collect individual follicles from this area, ensuring minimal discomfort and maximum preservation of each graft’s vitality.

Before the procedure, our expert team performs a detailed hair analysis to determine the most suitable instruments and techniques. Factors such as hair thickness, follicle depth, and scalp structure are all considered to choose the optimal needle size and materials for your unique hair type.

Each follicle is meticulously implanted within minutes using our precision implanter pen, allowing for controlled angle, direction, and depth. Once the process is complete, patients can expect strong, healthy, and naturally dense hair growth achieving the full, vibrant look they desire with expert care and precision.

DHI Choi Method

We perform the DHI Choi Method, one of the most advanced and precise hair transplantation techniques available today. This method uses a specialized tool called the Choi implanter pen, which features a thin, sharp needle designed to implant hair follicles without causing damage.

Our experienced specialists use the Choi pen to place each follicle at an ideal 40–45° angle, ensuring the correct direction and density for a completely natural appearance. By aligning the new grafts with your existing hair growth pattern, we achieve seamless, lifelike results that blend perfectly with your natural hair.

The implanter pens used in this process are hollow and equipped with a spring-loaded mechanism. This design allows for precise control the pen gently pierces the tissue and deposits each graft at the right depth with minimal trauma. Originally developed for fine hair, Choi pens are now available in various sizes to suit different hair thicknesses and scalp types.

Frequently Asked Questions
1How do I know if I’m a good candidate for a hair transplant?
Start with a free consultation. Our trained consultants will assess your hair loss pattern, donor area, and goals to determine whether FUE or DHI is right for you.
2Is FUE or DHI Hair Transplant Permanent?
Yes, both FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplants are considered permanent solutions to hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head), where hair is genetically resistant to balding. Once these follicles are implanted into thinning or bald areas, they retain their resistance to hair loss and continue to grow naturally for a lifetime.

While the transplanted hair is permanent, it's important to note that non-transplanted hair around it may continue to thin over time due to natural aging or genetics. That’s why we provide ongoing support and hair maintenance.
3What Are the Side Effects of FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE hair transplants are generally safe and low-risk. However, as with any medical procedure, some temporary side effects may occur. These are usually mild and resolve within a few days to weeks.

  • Mild swelling around the forehead or eyes
  • Redness or scabbing in the donor and recipient areas
  • Itching as the scalp heals
  • Temporary numbness or tingling sensation
  • Shedding of transplanted hairs (a normal part of the growth cycle)
4Why is stem cell therapy important in a hair transplant?
Stem cell therapy boosts recovery, reduces inflammation, increases graft survival, and even reactivates weak or dormant follicles. When combined with FUE or DHI, it significantly enhances results.
5Why choose Este Hair Medical Clinic over other clinics?
Unlike high-volume clinics, we limit daily surgeries to ensure focused, personalized care. We offer cutting-edge technology, experienced medical teams, and full English-speaking support before, during, and after your procedure. Our results and client satisfaction speak for themselves.
