DHI Hair Transplant

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is a modern hair transplant method where hair follicles are placed directly into the scalp using a special medical pen called the Choi implanter. Unlike traditional methods, no channels are opened in advance. Each graft is implanted one by one, allowing better control and more natural-looking density. This technique is especially popular for patients who want a natural hairline and for those who prefer a no-shave or minimal-shave hair transplant.
