Direct hair implantation — higher density, suited to crown and frontotemporal restorations.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a Choi implanter pen — a hollow needle that holds the follicle and places it in a single motion, without first creating recipient sites. The result: tighter angles, higher density, and shorter time-out-of-body for each follicle.
The consultation
We assess whether DHI suits your case. It excels at high-density work and tight angles (frontotemporal, crown), and works well with patients who have shorter existing hair (less need to shave the recipient area). Sapphire FUE remains the right choice for most large hairline cases.
Our approach
Choi implanters allow simultaneous extraction and implantation by trained technicians, reducing the time follicles spend out-of-body. This improves graft survival in challenging areas like the crown.
The procedure
Eight to ten hours under local anaesthetic. As with sapphire FUE, breaks for meals; total grafts up to 3,000 in a single day.
Recovery
Identical to sapphire FUE: three to five days of crusting, donor area healed at ten days, results at twelve months.
