DHI Hair Transplant

What is this technique?

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced technique where each follicular unit is extracted and then loaded directly into a Choi implanter pen. The pen creates the channel and places the graft simultaneously, which means follicles spend less time outside the body and can be implanted at precise angles and depths in a single motion. The key advantage over standard FUE is that DHI can be performed without fully shaving the recipient area. This makes it particularly popular with women or patients who want to keep their existing hair long during recovery. It also supports denser packing in smaller areas such as the hairline or crown because the surgeon has more control over placement direction. In Istanbul, DHI is typically offered as a premium option reflecting the additional technique complexity and the specialised Choi implanter pens used. All-inclusive packages cover clinic fees, hotel, airport transfer, and aftercare products. Vellorian Hair partners with Istanbul clinics where DHI is performed by qualified surgeons experienced in both DHI and FUE. We help you understand which technique suits your hair type, loss pattern, and goals before you book.

Who is it best for?

• Women or men who want to avoid fully shaving the recipient area and maintain length during recovery
• Patients focused on dense hairline packing or crown coverage where precise angle control is critical
• Those seeking a slightly faster graft survival benefit from reduced time outside the body
• Cases involving smaller or localised areas where the Choi pen provides more placement precision than standard FUE
