Preparation for DHI Hair Transplant

In a DHI hair transplant, individual grafts which collected from the nape by FUE method are extracted and placed onto the scalp. Thanks to Choi pens, the channel opening and hair transplant occur simultaneously. Thanks to the DHI pen, the scalp enters a rapid healing process.

The preparation stage for DHI method is the same as FUE hair transplant. After consultation between the doctor and the patient, hair analysis and planning take place. A blood test is necessary to determine if the patient is suitable for the operation. If the patient is in a good health condition, the operation can start. However, there are some points to consider before the procedure.

• Blood tests are necessary before the hair transplant.
• Before the DHI hair transplant, the patient should inform the centre of his medical record and medications.
• Regular meals are suitable before the operation. However, foods that may cause gastric problems should be avoided.
• Driving is dangerous for twelve hours after the transplant. For this reason, you should be careful to have someone with you.

DHI is a modified version of FUE hair implantation and follows a similar procedure. Your surgeon will remove hair follicles from a part of your scalp, usually the back of your head, and implant them into balding areas. These hair follicles will eventually grow new hairs.

Here’s what you can generally expect during the procedure:

1. Your surgeon will shave your head and apply local anesthesia to numb it.
2. The surgeon will extract hair follicles from the back of your head using a tool with a fine tip.
3. The hair follicles will be loaded into a pen-shaped tool and implanted into the balding part of your scalp.
4. The surgeon will apply an antibiotic cream and apply a bandage to all sites.
