Hair Transplantation Methods
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
The FUE technique is one of the most widely used and advanced hair transplant methods.
How it is Done:
- Hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area using a micro-motor device.
- Tiny channels are opened in the recipient area, and the follicles are placed into these channels.
Advantages of FUE:
- Minimal scarring and no visible stitches.
- Faster healing time.
- Natural-looking and dense results.
Who is it for?
- Individuals with moderate to severe hair loss looking for a large number of grafts.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)
The DHI technique is an advanced version of hair transplantation that uses a specialized tool called the Choi Implanter Pen.
How it is Done:
- Hair follicles are extracted and directly implanted into the recipient area without the need to open channels in advance.
- The Choi pen allows for precise placement and direction of the follicles.
Advantages of DHI:
- Reduced handling of hair follicles increases their survival rate.
- Suitable for denser hair implantation and natural results.
- Faster recovery time compared to traditional methods.
Who is it for?
- Individuals with localized hair loss or those looking to add density to existing hair.
