What is DHI Technique?

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced hair transplant technique that allows for the direct implantation of hair follicles without the need for pre-made incisions. This innovative method uses a specialized pen-like instrument called a Choi Implanter Pen to extract and implant hair follicles in a single step.

At Iconica International Clinic, we utilize the latest DHI technology to provide our patients with the most natural-looking and minimally invasive hair restoration results.

How DHI Works

  1. Extraction: Hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area using micro punches
  2. Loading: Each follicle is loaded into the Choi Implanter Pen
  3. Direct Implantation: The pen creates the incision and places the follicle simultaneously
  4. Precise Placement: Allows for exact control of angle, depth, and direction

Advantages of DHI Technique

  • No Pre-Made Incisions: Reduces trauma to the scalp
  • Minimal Bleeding: Less invasive than traditional methods
  • Faster Healing: Shorter recovery time
  • Natural Results: Better control over hair direction and angle
  • Higher Survival Rate: Follicles spend less time outside the body
  • Denser Packing: Allows for closer placement of grafts
