DHI Hair Transplant – EstetIstanbul

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is one of the most advanced hair transplant techniques available today. In this method, grafts are implanted directly into the scalp using Choi implanter pens without the need for a separate channel-opening step. This enables more precise angle control and denser transplantation.

What Is DHI Hair Transplant?

In the DHI method:

Grafts are loaded into special Choi implanter pens
Channel opening and graft placement are performed simultaneously with the pen
A separate pen tip is used for each graft
Grafts spend minimal time outside the tissue

Advantages of DHI

Maximum Graft Survival

Because grafts spend very little time outside the tissue, the survival rate is maximized.

Unshaven Application

DHI is the most suitable method for unshaven hair transplant. It is especially preferred for women and small areas.

Precise Angle Control

The hair growth angle and direction are fully controlled for each graft.

Minimal Bleeding

The sharp tips of Choi pens cause minimal tissue trauma.

Fast Healing

Less tissue damage leads to a faster recovery process.
