DHI HAIR TRANSPLANTATION IN IRELIA HEALTH
DHI Hair Transplantation
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced hair transplantation technique that offers precise control over the depth, angle, and direction of implanted hair follicles, leading to highly natural-looking results. Unlike the FUE method, where channels are created before implantation, DHI uses a specialized Choi Implanter Pen to directly place the follicles into the scalp without the need for pre-made incisions.
This innovative technique minimizes trauma to the scalp, reduces bleeding, shortens recovery time, and increases the survival rate of the grafts.
The Procedure:
Consultation and Planning:
-
A detailed evaluation of the scalp is performed, including donor and recipient areas. A customized treatment plan and hairline design are created based on the patient’s needs.
Extraction:
-
Hair follicles are carefully extracted one by one from the donor area (typically the back of the head) using a micro-motor device under local anesthesia.
Implantation with Choi Pen:
-
Each extracted follicle is immediately loaded into the Choi Implanter Pen and implanted directly into the recipient area. This method ensures maximum control over the angle, depth, and direction of each graft.
Healing and Recovery Process
-
Day 1–3:
Mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity may occur. Patients are advised to rest and avoid direct contact with the scalp.
-
Day 3–7:
Tiny scabs begin to form around the implanted follicles. Gentle washing of the scalp usually starts after the third day, following specific clinic instructions.
-
Day 7–10:
Scabs begin to naturally fall off. It is crucial not to scratch or forcibly remove them.
-
Week 2–4:
The shock loss phase occurs, where transplanted hairs shed temporarily — this is a normal and expected part of the healing process.
-
Month 2–4:
New hair growth begins, with thin, fine hairs emerging initially.
-
Month 6:
Noticeable improvements in hair density and growth. Hair becomes thicker and stronger.
-
Month 9–12:
Final results are achieved, revealing a dense, natural-looking hairline.
Post-Operative Care Tips
-
Avoid heavy physical activities and direct sun exposure for the first two weeks.
-
Sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling.
-
Use only prescribed shampoos and lotions for cleaning.
-
Follow all aftercare instructions strictly to protect the newly implanted grafts.
