FUE DHI Hair Transplant
The FUE DHI hair transplant method used at the Hair Center of Turkey clinic offers natural and permanent results with a minimally invasive technique. Hair follicles are placed directly into the transplant area using a special Choi pen. The recovery period is short, there are no scars, and maximum density is achieved. It is a reliable and professional solution.
What distinguishes DHI Hair Transplant from FUE Sapphire Hair Transplant?
In DHI hair transplantation, hair follicles are implanted directly using a special pen, while in the FUE Sapphire method, channels are first opened and then the implantation is performed. DHI does not require channel opening, so the recovery period is faster. In addition, more frequent implantation is possible. FUE Sapphire, on the other hand, offers more effective results in large areas. The choice depends on individual needs.

Which is better: DHI or FUE?
Both methods are effective and modern hair transplant techniques; which one is better depends on the individual’s needs. Below you can find their differences, advantages and disadvantages:
Patient Portfolio
1. DHI Hair Transplantation Method
Advantages:
- Transplantation is performed without opening a channel; recovery time is faster.
- Transplantation can be performed more frequently; it is ideal for the front hairline and narrow areas in particular.
- Hair follicles remain in the external environment for a shorter period of time, which increases their vitality.
- Transplantation is performed with natural angle and direction control.
Disadvantages:
- The procedure takes longer.
- Suitability for all hair types depends on expert evaluation.
- If the donor area is limited, dense transplantation may be difficult.
2. FUE Sapphire Hair Transplantation Method
Advantages:
- Can be used on larger areas.
- Sapphire tips cause less tissue damage and promote faster healing.
- The procedure takes less time.
- A large number of grafts can be taken from the donor area.
Disadvantages:
- First, a channel is created, then the roots are placed; this two-step process may leave a mark.
- The time the roots spend outside the body is slightly longer.
- Control over the natural hair direction is slightly lower compared to DHI.
Conclusion: Which is better?
If you want natural, dense and directionally controlled implantation, DHI is recommended.
If you want to have a larger area implanted, FUE Sapphire is recommended.
Before making a decision, your hair structure and hair loss level should be evaluated by a specialist.
How Painful is DHI Hair Transplantation?
DHI hair transplantation is performed under sedation anaesthesia, so no pain is felt during the procedure. Sedation ensures that the patient is completely comfortable and relaxed. The patient is awake before and during the procedure, but their pain perception is disabled. This makes the DHI hair transplantation process very comfortable.
What is a Choi Implantation Pen?
The Choi Implantation Pen is a special medical device used in the DHI hair transplantation method. This pen allows hair follicles to be implanted both without opening channels and directly. Grafts placed at the tip of the pen are implanted one by one at a natural angle into the designated area. This results in a denser, directionally controlled, and natural-looking hair appearance. Performing both channel creation and implantation simultaneously shortens the recovery process and minimises damage to the tissue.

FUE DHI Hair Transplant Process
1
The donor area is shaved and anaesthesia is administered:
The area from which the hair follicles will be taken is shaved, and the patient is made comfortable with sedation and local anaesthesia.
2
Hair follicles are extracted using an FUE punch.
Hair follicles are carefully collected one by one using a micromotor and FUE punch, and the grafts are stored in a way that preserves their vitality.
3
Choi takes root:
The collected hair follicles are placed in the Choi implanter pen according to their direction and angle, and prepared for implantation.
4
The receiver is planted directly into the field, one by one:
With Choi’s pen, hair roots are transplanted directly into the recipient area without opening channels, in a natural direction and at frequent intervals.
5
Aftercare:
The patient rests for a short time after the procedure. Special washing, moisturising and wound care recommendations are applied for the first few days.
Who Should Get DHI Hair Transplantation?
DHI hair transplantation is an ideal method for people who suffer from hair loss and want to have natural-looking, thick hair. It is particularly suitable for patients who want dense transplantation in the front hairline and narrow areas. It is preferred by individuals who wish to return to their daily lives quickly and undergo a fast recovery process.

Is my hair type suitable for the DHI/Choi method?
The DHI/Choi method is suitable for all hair types, whether fine or thick. It is particularly effective on sparse, brittle or sensitive hair. If you have healthy roots in your donor area, this method can give you natural, thick hair. Suitability is determined by an expert assessment.
