Hair transplantation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from a donor area to the recipient area on the scalp. This is done to restore hair growth in areas, where hair is thinning or balding. The procedure is performed by a skilled surgeon using advanced techniques, such as Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI).
FUE is a hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area of the scalp, usually at the back of the head, using a small punch tool. These individual follicles are then transplanted into the recipient area of the scalp, where hair is thinning or balding. FUE is a minimally invasive procedure and doesn’t leave a linear scar like some other hair transplant techniques.
DHI is also a hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area of the scalp. However, in DHI, the extracted follicles are immediately implanted into the recipient area by using a specialized tool called a Choi Implanter Pen, which creates tiny slits and places the follicles within. DHI is considered a more precise hair transplant technique as it allows for more control over the angle, direction, and depth of hair follicle implantation.
