DHI Hair Transplant

DHI is a modified version of FUE hair implantation and follows a similar procedure. Your surgeon will remove hair follicles from a part of your scalp, usually the back of your head, and implant them into balding areas. These hair follicles will eventually grow new hairs. Here’s what you can generally expect during the procedure:

  • Your surgeon will shave your head and apply local anesthesia to numb it.
  • The surgeon will extract hair follicles from the back of your head using a tool with a fine tip.
  • The hair follicles will be loaded into a pen-shaped tool and implanted into the balding part of your scalp.
  • The surgeon will apply an antibiotic cream and apply a bandage to all sites.

Who needs a DHI procedure?

People with androgenic alopecia, which is the most common type of hair loss, make the best candidates for hair implantations. This condition is commonly referred to as male or female pattern hair loss. The following characteristics also make you a good candidate for hair transplantation:

  • People who get hair implants should be over age 25. Hair loss before this age is more unpredictable.
  • People with thicker hair usually achieve better results than people with thinner hair. Thicker hair gives each hair follicle more coverage.
  • atients with a hair density of fewer than 40 folliclesTrusted Source per square centimeter at their donor site are considered poor candidates for hair transplants.
  • People with light hair or with a hair color close to their skin tone often achieve the best results.
  • People with realistic expectations are most likely to be satisfied with their results.
