What is a DHI hair transplant?
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is safe and effective hair restoration technique for both men and women. It is a modified version of the FUE hair transplant technique. DHI hair transplant technique involves extraction of the hair follicle and re-implanting them into the scalp using a CHOI implanter. This directly pushes hair follicles deep inside thereby giving good hair transplant outcomes.
