DHI Technique
When you decide to have a hair transplant, there are some hair transplant methods that you may encounter. One of these hair transplant methods is DHI Hair Transplant.
DHI Hair transplant, which stands for Direct Hair Implantation, is among the developments that have been introduced in the field of hair transplant in recent years.
In the DHl method, hair follicles are carefully extracted one by one from the donor area, and implanted into the balding areas or thin areas of the scalp using a choi pen.

The direct hair implantation technique in this surgery has two main steps: Follicles are collected with a tweezer, single blunt punch to make 0.6-0.9 MM incisions with a depth of 2.5-3 MM.
