What is the difference between DHI and FUE techniques?
If you are considering a hair transplant procedure but are unsure of which path to take or feel lost among the different techniques available, we have provided a brief explanation of two primary hair transplant techniques in this short article. We hope this information helps you!
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) are both modern hair transplant techniques, but they differ in the way hair follicles are extracted and implanted.
FUE involves harvesting hair follicles one by one from the donor area using a small punch tool. The extracted follicles are then implanted in the recipient area using small incisions made by a needle or a blade. The FUE technique allows for precise extraction and implantation, resulting in natural-looking hair growth.
DHI, on the other hand, involves the use of a specialized tool called a Choi Implanter Pen to extract and implant hair follicles. The pen has a hollow needle that is used to extract individual follicles directly from the donor area, and then it is implanted immediately in the recipient area. Unlike FUE, DHI does not require incisions in the recipient area, as the follicles are implanted directly into the scalp. This results in a faster healing process and less trauma to the scalp.

In summary, the main difference between FUE and DHI is the method of follicle extraction and implantation. FUE involves individual follicle extraction using a punch tool and implantation using small incisions, while DHI uses a specialized tool to extract and implant follicles directly without incisions. Both techniques can produce excellent results, and the choice between them will depend on individual patient needs and the recommendations of the hair transplant surgeon.
