Three pillars that make DHI Direct Hair Implantation superior to any other hair transplant technique
Safety first
The procedure is performed exclusively by certified medical physicians trained at London’s Hair Restoration Training Academy. It adheres to strict protocols registered with the CQC, utilizing single-use instruments.
Comfort and Convenience
DHI Hair Transplant is minimally invasive and virtually painless, performed under local anesthesia. Patients can comfortably watch TV, browse the web, or even take a nap during the procedure. There is no need to shave the head prior the procedure, and in most cases, can return to work within 2-3 days.
Natural Results
Direct Hair Implantation provides to the doctor total control over the angle, direction and depth of placement, resulting natural result every time and maximum hair growth.
The DHI implanter
The transition from the antiquated FUE technique was made possible in large part by the DHI implanter.
This unique technology gave our doctors complete control over the angle, depth, and direction of hair implantation, guaranteeing a flawlessly natural outcome. The pen’s modest size reduced the amount of damage to the recipient area and removed the necessity for scalpel incisions. Additionally, the option to be unshaven and have long hair was made available, which allowed for a quicker return to daily life.

Comparing DHI to other hair transplantion methods available today
In 2002, the DHI Global Medical Group introduced the procedure known as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and immediately stopped offering conventional strip removal surgery FUT. DHI Global Medical Group was continuously improving techniques and technologies and in 2010 introduced to the world DHI Direct Hair Implantation

Hair follicles placement is done the same way with FUT and FUE. Both involves blades which are used for creating hundreds of incisions/holes in the recipient area, also called recipient sites. The hair follicles are then placed in these holes, using forceps. This technique does not provide full control over the angle, depth and direction of placement. You may have noticed results with unnatural looking hair lines, aslo know as doll effect hair, which are caused due to this technique.
In contrast, with DHI the hair follicles are implanted directly using a patented single-use tool – the DHI implanter, and does not required recipient holes to be made prior placement.
**
Due to the complexity of the placement procedure in FUT and FUE, it is more possible to damage the hair follicles. For instance when the recipient holes are narrower than the follicles. Moreover, there are practitioners who process and/or seperate the hair follicles under microscopes. This prolongs the operation period and increases the risk of damaging the follicles.
Internal research based on patients who came to DHI for a correction session, showed that the growth rate with FUT and FUE (the percentage of implanted hair that survived) can be as low as 50%, while with DHI it is over 90%.
