The DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) method is designed to minimise trauma to the scalp by combining two steps, incision and implantation into a single, precise motion. Unlike traditional methods, where channels are first opened before grafts are placed, the DHI implanter inserts the graft while simultaneously creating the incision. For patients, this means an easy healing journey with minimal scabbing and a lower risk of complications.

DHI is often compared to sapphire FUE, as it also utilises a high-quality tool. The advantage of these blades is that they create ultra fine, clean incisions, which promote better graft survival and a natural-looking hairline. The controlled placement ensures that each hair is implanted at the correct depth, angle, and direction, allowing for a seamless blend with existing hair. Whether filling in thinning areas or enhancing a previous transplant, DHI provides a refined, natural result.

One of the biggest advantages of DHI is the level of control and precision it offers. Because grafts are implanted directly without pre-made incisions, the surgeon can carefully navigate around existing hair, making it ideal for patients who still have natural hair in the area. This makes DHI particularly useful for topping up previous transplants, improving density in specific areas, and refining the hairline with unmatched accuracy. Each graft is placed with purpose, ensuring the best possible aesthetic outcome. 

DHI can be performed with little to no shaving in many cases. This makes it an excellent option for those who prefer to keep their existing hairstyle intact throughout the process. Women and individuals with longer hair particularly benefit from this, as it allows for a more discreet transplant experience. With DHI, you can restore density without the need for a drastic change in appearance, making the procedure more accessible and appealing for those who may not want to cut their hair short.

DHI is a highly detailed and meticulous technique, which means it takes longer than traditional FUE methods. Because of this, it is best suited for patients who need precise restoration in specific areas, such as the hairline, temples, or crown. It is particularly beneficial for those with minimal hair loss who are looking for subtle, high-quality results. If you're seeking a method that prioritises precision, density, and natural-looking placement, DHI is an excellent choice for achieving a refined, seamless finish.
