DHI and FUE are frequently used hair transplant methods all over the world these day.  The brief about these two procedures are as follows:

What is FUE  HT Procedure?

FUE hair transplant surgery is a very popular surgery today and is preferred by many patients. Instead of the classical technique of FUT (or Follicular Unit Transplantation), where a strip of skin is removed to collect the grafts, FUE grafts are made directly from the scalp. The most important factor in choosing the FUE technique is that it leaves no visible marks and provides natural-looking results.

 

In FUE hair transplant surgery, groups of 1-4 hair follicles, commonly known as grafts, are manually removed one by one and placed in a storage solution. Then, when the extraction phase is completed, the doctor opens the channels using micro blades. These channels opened by the doctor are the holes or slits where the grafts are placed. After the channels are opened, the doctor removes the grafts from the solution and implants them in the recipient area.

 

Patients who have completed FUE hair transplant surgery may notice the first results about two months after the transplant. On the other hand, for more noticeable growths, it usually becomes more noticeable after six months and full results usually appear 12-18 months after the procedure.

 

The most obvious advantages of FUE hair transplantation are faster recovery time and less discomfort since there are no stitches. For this reason, FUE hair transplantation is the more preferred procedure because it promises better results, less pain/discomfort, no scarring and more effect. Fue hair transplantation can last a lifetime. The most important point in hair transplantation is to maintain the characteristics of donor hair follicles and ensure healthy growth.

What is DHI  (Direct Hair Implant) Procedure?

DHI hair transplant surgery is a newer procedure compared to FUE and is similar to the FUE technique, that is, it does not leave a scar after the surgery and provides a natural appearance. The difference between these two procedures is that although the graft removal process of DHI is similar to FUE, there are a few differences that should be noted

The hair follicles are removed one by one using a specialist tool with a diameter of 1 mm or less. These hair follicles are loaded into an implant device known as the Choi Implanter Pen and implanted them directly into the recipient area. During the DHI procedure, the creation of the channels and the implantation are completed at the same time. With Choi Implanter Pen, it gives more sensitivity to the doctor while implanting the hair follicles. At the same time, it provides more comfortable control of the angle, direction and depth of the newly transplanted hair. Also, recovery time for DHI is similar to FUE. It usually takes 12-18 months for full results to appear.

 

During FUE, a surgeon manually cuts a series of channels in your scalp to place hair follicles. DHI technique is a procedure that helps surgeons make these incisions and also transplant hair, and both DHI and FUE prevents the long scarring caused by FUT, but these surgeries usually take longer and are more expensive.

Difference Between DHI & FUE

The most important difference between DHI and FUE is the way the grafts are implanted in the recipient area, for example, during FUE hair transplantation, the channels must be opened before implantation so that the surgeon can manually implant the extracted grafts. However, DHI uses a special tool known as the Choi Implanter Pen, so it is performed immediately after extraction, without the need to create channels for the grafts first, during the implantation phase. In addition, Follicular unit extraction is a graft collection method, in this process, micro-motor tools were used to open the holes where the hair was placed in the canal, and the name of the transplantation technique was defined as FUE.

Which Procedures are Right for Me?

The DHI procedure is a newer procedure compared to FUE, and DHI is usually recommended for patients younger than 35 years of age. The reason for this is that hair loss in individuals under the age of 35 is not very advanced and the success rates of these cases are much higher compared to other age groups. The FUE procedure is a surgery that is considered safe with minor possible side effects such as small white scars from which the follicles are removed. Although it is not observed very often in the FUE procedure, infection or tissue death may occur at the site of the surgery. On the other hand, the maximum number of grafts we implant with DHI surgery is 4000. The DHI Hair Transplantation method also allows you to determine the direction and dimensions of hair growth according to your preference, and the other advantage of DHI is that it does not require canal drilling. The FUE method can be preferred as it covers larger areas than the DHI method, and the DHI method is a process that provides a good rate to obtain higher density. They stated that according to the recommendations of the experts, the success rate of both FUE and DHI reached 95%. This proves that whichever procedure you want to have, both procedures are extremely safe.

What are The Results of DHI & FUE Procedures?

FUE Hair Transplantation results are highly dependent on the opening of the channels. In other words, if the channels are opened correctly, the success rate of your hair transplant procedure will be much higher. As a result of FUE hair transplant surgery, you will achieve more natural-looking and dense hair. If every stage of the FUE hair transplant procedure is performed correctly, you will have very effective and natural-looking results in the results of your hair transplant treatment. It will take approximately six months for you to notice the results when your FUE hair transplant surgery is completed, and you need to wait approximately twelve months after the operation before you can observe the full result.

 

DHI hair transplant surgery is a very effective treatment for people looking for natural-looking hair transplant methods. After the implantation procedure is completed, you will not experience any hair loss and your hair will be with you forever. The most important advantage of the DHI hair transplant procedure is that it gives full control over the angle, depth, and placement of the hair, and it achieves results that look absolutely natural.

 

The common result of these two procedures is that the full results begin to appear twelve months after the treatment. In addition, the recovery time is shorter and similar for both procedures.

 

The age range of people who will prefer hair transplant surgery is also important. Every individual over the age of 18 can have hair transplant surgery, but the advice of experts is that people aged 25 and over should have a hair transplants. Younger men may not have to opt for hair transplantation yet, as their hair loss patterns may not be fully determined yet.
