What Is DHI Hair Transplant?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an innovative non-channel hair transplant method that uses a Choi pen to directly implant extracted follicles into the scalp.
Unlike FUE, there’s no need to open channels beforehand each graft is inserted immediately after extraction.
This technique ensures maximum graft survival and a faster healing process.
How DHI Works

Consultation and Hair Analysis:
The surgeon evaluates your scalp and designs a natural hairline.

Extraction:
Follicles are carefully removed using fine micro-punches.

Implantation:
Using a Choi pen, each graft is implanted directly into the recipient area.

Angle Control:
The surgeon adjusts direction, depth, and density in real-time.
