DHI stands for Direct Hair Implantation. In this procedure, hair follicles are transplanted into the bald area with the help of a special pen (implanter). First, healthy hair grafts are taken from the donor area and then inserted into the area with hair loss. This application is also called the Implanter Pen Technique.
The fact that the application is painless and the hair transplant results are successful are the main factors that make DHI stand out.

DHI Hair Transplant Technique

The basic phases of the DHI method are similar to those of techniques such as FUE and Sapphire FUE. The first phase is the consultation. Then follows the examination, treatment and postoperative process. All medical steps can be performed smoothly with the guidance and support of the plastic surgeon. Therefore, it is important to choose successful and experienced hair transplant specialists.

► Consultation:

The patient talks to the doctor after he/she has registered at the clinic, explains his/her his concerns and expectations and talks about what kind of result he/she wants. The doctor gives the patient general information about the process, offers treatment options and tells what to do during the surgery and what to do after the hair transplant. After the patient and doctor agree, the next step is taken.

► Examination and Decision:

The doctor examines the patient's bald scalp. He examines the donor area. The donor site is the body area where healthy hair follicles are located and is usually the nape root. The health of the hair grafts is checked. It is determined how many grafts can be harvested. The patient's medical history is requested. Since DHI hair transplantation is performed under anesthesia, it is checked if the patient is suitable for anesthesia. Anesthesia is preferred with the consent of the anesthesiologist, doctor and the patient. If it is determined that there is no obstacle to the treatment of hair loss, the date of surgery is clarified.

►Hair Transplantation With DHI Pen:

The patient is given an anesthetic - local anesthesia is usually preferred, but in some cases general anesthesia may be used. The anesthetic is applied to both the donor area and the bald skin. Thus, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the process. First, the healthy hair grafts are taken one by one from the donor area. The main factor at this stage is not to damage the healthy hair follicles. Then, the harvested hairs are transplanted one by one into the bald area.

To achieve a natural and aesthetic result, it is important that each hair follicle is transplanted at the correct angle, position and direction. Since the hair follicles and the grafting points are minor, the procedure must be performed carefully. The DHI hair transplant pen greatly facilitates the work of the hair transplant specialist. After the post-treatment is completed, the results are permanent.

Thanks to the DHI implanter pen, it is easy to specify an angle and direction, and because of the pen's thin tip, hair follicles can be implanted more frequently. As a result, more grafts can be transplanted and the patient will have more dense hair and natural looking style.

Recovery After DHI Hair Transplant

After DHI hair transplantation, the patient may take painkillers and antibiotics if there is a risk of infection. The doctor will explain exactly which medication should be used and how. In addition, lotion, shampoo, anti-swelling creams and additional medications may be recommended. After hair transplantation, there are phases like the first week, the first month and the first three months, and the patient should behave according to these processes. During the first week, pain, redness and tenderness occur. These side effects are temporary. The first hair washing is performed by the doctor in the clinic. The hair transplant specialist explains the details of the subsequent hair washes to the patient in detail.

The hair transplanted spots will crust. The patient should not touch or scratch the area. Shock shedding may occur after hair transplantation. The patient should not panic. This is a normal cycle. The transplanted hair will fall out at first and then grow back, so the result is permanent.
