Direct Hair Implantation (DHI Hair Transplant) is the latest innovation in the hair transplant industry. It is a cutting-edge procedure to combat hair loss, baldness, and hair thinning. It allows the implantation of hair follicles from hairy regions of the head (back or sides of the head) to the bald areas for hair regrowth. It is an advanced procedure in which surgeons use a patented implanter device known as the “Choi Implanter pen” to extract and transplant hair follicles. The device consists of a fine needle that minimizes trauma to the hair roots during follicle extraction and implantation. DHI hair transplant is an effective solution for men and women with a receding hairline, crown baldness, and a widening middle parting.
As per research, Androgenetic Alopecia or Male pattern baldness accounts for 95% of hair loss in men. The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery predicts that 1 in every 13 men worldwide is a candidate for hair transplant surgery due to severe hair loss. ISHRS also reports that over 703,000 hair restoration procedures were performed worldwide in 2021. Over 2.2 million patients were treated in 2021 with a significant overall 7% increase since 2019. As per the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, over 20% of hair transplant surgeries in the world are performed in Turkey.
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is an innovative hair transplant technique to combat baldness, hair loss, and thinning. DHI hair transplant is very similar to FUE hair transplant but performed with a special implanter device. The device allows the execution of follicle implantation from the donor area to the recipient area. DHI hair transplant technique is less invasive because it does not require incisions, unlike other procedures. The procedure has a high success rate and is known to give the most natural results.
DHI Hair transplant is a low-risk hair transplant technique but not everyone qualifies for it. You can only get this surgery if:
That’s something only you and your doctor can decide mutually. It also depends on your budget as the DHI method can be a bit on the pricey side. However, this method gives the most natural and realistic results which makes it worth the high cost. Here are a few benefits or pros of DHI hair transplant:
DHI hair transplant is a labor-intensive procedure that involves individual grafting of hair follicles. On average, the surgery can take around 6-8 hours according to the number of grafts needed by the patient. Here is how the procedure of a DHI hair transplant works:
The first part of the process is marking the bald regions, whether it is the hairline or the crown. The surgeon and patient mutually decide on the markings for satisfactory results.
There is no need to shave the entire head in a DHI method and only a part of the donor area is shaved. The surgeon then administers local anesthesia and numbs the marked areas so the patient is comfortable during the procedure.
The surgeon then uses the Choi Implanter pen to extract the follicle and then implants it into the recipient area. The Choi implanter pen is a device that reduces the time a graft stays outside and increases its survival chances.
The surgeon puts antibiotic cream on the transplanted area and covers it with bandages. There is no need for stitches in this procedure.
The cost of a DHI hair transplant is slightly higher than other hair transplant procedures. It costs more because it minimizes trauma to the hair roots and does not leave scars.
The average cost of a DHI Hair transplant is $5000 to $15,000 or higher for extensive work. You can choose to get the surgery in a foreign country where the prices are substantially lower such as Turkey or Hungary.
Hair transplant is an effective treatment for women who suffer from female pattern baldness or alopecia. Female pattern baldness usually occurs due to aging, hormones, and genetics.
Sometimes due to extreme hair loss, women are left with no choice but to undergo a hair transplant. Female hair restoration is a specialized procedure that focuses on restoring hair on the overall scalp.
Turkey holds an integral position in the hair transplant industry with thousands of foreigners flying every year for hair restoration procedures. Plastic surgeons for hair transplantation in Turkey are experienced and board-certified. The most well-known hospitals for hair transplants in Turkey include Avicenna Hospital, Memorial Hospital, Medical Park Hospital, etc.
One of the benefits of coming to Turkey for medical treatment is that you do not have to deal with long visa queues. Most foreigners, particularly Europeans can enter Turkey without a visa and just with a valid ID card. It saves a lot of time and you can plan your trip without any hassle and worries.
The Turkish Health Ministry announced VAT exemption for foreigners who visit Turkey for medical treatment in 2018. It is a state incentive to boost medical tourism in Turkey and to provide convenience to foreign patients. Therefore, medical treatments are free of tax if you are a foreigner coming to Turkey for medical treatment.
Turkey offers a well-established medical tourism sector that thrives due to a web of hospitals, clinics, and agencies that meticulously plan every aspect of your journey. Travel packages for medical tourism cover everything from hotel reservations to airport transfers, hospital transfers, and other important aspects. In 2023, around 7,46,290 people have already chosen Turkey as their medical destination. The total profit earned so far in 2023 by the medical tourism sector in Turkey is $1,033,942.
Another perk of coming to Turkey is that you don’t have to wait for months or years for your appointment. Despite receiving hundreds and thousands of patients every season, every patient is given the same level of attention and care. The appointment process is fast and hassle-free.
Istanbul is Turkey’s biggest metropolitan city that hosts a huge number of transit flights every day. It is convenient to find flight connections to almost anywhere in the world from Istanbul. Furthermore, most flights from European countries to Istanbul are only 3 hours long. Therefore, foreigners can find a sense of ease in traveling to Turkey because of easy flight accessibility.

First week: The first 3-5 days after the surgery are key and you should do everything to protect the surgical site. Doctors usually advise patients to wear a hat to protect the transplant area. It is normal if you experience inflammation and irritation on the scalp in the first week. Your doctor will prescribe medication to manage any discomfort. You cannot smoke or take a shower for the first 5 days at least.
2-3 Weeks: The redness and itching begin to subside by this time. You can go back to your normal routine activities.
3-6 months: You can expect hair fall in the transplant areas. Hair growth begins after 3 to 6 months.

Here are the most common queries about DHI hair transplant:
DHI (direct hair implantation) or FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) are hair transplant techniques that give better hair density results.
DHI hair transplant is a permanent solution for baldness, hair loss, and hair thinning. It takes 6 months to a year for the results to be fully visible.
DHI hair transplant is a non-invasive surgery that does not require incisions. Local anesthesia is provided to patients for a pain-free surgery experience.
It depends on your situation. FUE is a more effective technique for patients with baldness or extreme hair loss or thinning. The DHL method, however, typically yields the best results among patients 35 years or younger with less severe hair loss.
DHI hair transplant has a success rate of 95% to 100% with very few occurrences of complications.
There is no need to shave the donor area entirely in a DHI hair transplant. The area is shaven partially to extract the follicles accurately. It is a beneficial hair transplant technique for women because they do not have to lose any hair during the process.
