DHI Hair Transplant is better than FUE?

The DHI hair transplant is very similar to the FUE hair restoration technique; however, there are certain important differences that are important to mention. That is why we decided to write this new blog to present them and thus define which procedure you prefer and discuss it with the specialist when you arrive at our clinic.

To be able to address this subject very well, we will first talk about the DHI hair transplant; as we carry it out in CHR, pros and cons. Later, we will compare both procedures so that you can decide which one is ideal for you depending on each factor. Do not forget that, if you still have some doubts about the procedure, you can send us a message.

How is the DHI Hair Transplant carried out?

DHI hair transplant is a procedure that can only be carried out with a specialized tool called Choi. Implant Pen. The function of this tool is to extract the hair follicles one by one from the areas where there is a greater accumulation of hair to reposition them where they have fallen.

It is important to note that a procedure such as a DHI hair transplant can only be carried out by a plastic surgeon who specializes in hair restoration. It is his very detailed and specialized job, since the doctor must identify the most resistant hair follicles in order to extract them properly.

In the same way, the specialist doctor has to define where to relocate the follicles so that it has a natural appearance. Also, the DHI hair transplant, by requiring a specialized tool, only a person trained to use it will be able to use it properly.

DHI Hair Transplantation procedure

So that you know how we carry out the DHI hair transplant at Cancun Hair Restoration, we will explain the entire procedure step by step. It should be clarified that, before you undergo any treatment with us, we will carry out studies and the doctor will tell you which one will be the most suitable for you, depending on how advanced your baldness is.

1. The first thing the plastic surgeon will do is shave your head to make it easier to extract the follicles and preserve them.
2. Once he has the entire area ready to work, he will apply a local anesthetic to numb your head and you will not feel a thing during the DHI hair transplant.
3. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, the process of extracting the follicles will begin ; most will take them from the back of your head.
4. the choy Implanter Pen will allow a better extraction and conservation of the hair follicles, part that follows after the extraction.
5. With all the follicles necessary to perform the DHI hair transplant extracted, the surgeon will begin to place them according to the natural design of your hair.
6. Each hair follicle is placed with the help of the same tool in a millimetric way so that you obtain the best results.
7. At the end, the plastic surgeon will place a bandage to protect the area of the head where the DHI hair transplant was performed for the next few hours.

This is how we perform the DHI hair transplant at Cancun Hair Restoration , a procedure that can last from 8 to 12 hours. This can change depending on the patient, the stage of their hair loss and how many hair follicles are removed for treatment.

Some advantages and disadvantages of DHI Hair Transplant

The DHI hair transplant is a procedure with important advantages , especially if you are looking to stop baldness and recover your hair; Some of these advantages that you should know about are the following:

• It is a non-invasive procedure.
• It will give you a higher density of hair.
• the choy Implanter Pen is precise when extracting the follicles.
• You will get permanent and natural results.
• It does not require much post-operative care.
• You can return to your normal activities after the operation.

However, it can also have some small points against it, such as:

• Only between 2,500 and 3,000 follicles can be extracted per patient.
• It is a very long procedure.
• Very advanced cases of baldness cannot be completely remedied.

Therefore, during your first visit to our clinic, the surgeon who will be in charge of your DHI hair transplant will tell you if it is the ideal procedure for you .

DHI Hair Transplant or FUE Hair Transplant? Which one is better for you?

Before talking about the differences between both procedures, let us remember that the FUE transplant technique consists of manually extracting each of the hair follicles . It is here where we can notice the main point to differentiate them: the Choi Implant Pen; however, this is not the only difference.

However, by using this tool, the placement of the follicles changes in DHI hair transplant . While, with the FUE technique, the doctor has to make the cuts for the follicles in the recipient area, with the pen the cuts are made by placing the follicles in a simpler and more minimal way; this allows for no larger marks.

While the FUE transplant leaves very little visible marks that eventually heal, with the DHI hair transplant they are minor and heal faster . This also reduces the chance of any side effects during recovery such as infection where the cuts were made or similar problems.

Both are procedures that we have successfully performed in which we have seen results in all the patients who have come to our clinic. However, there is a chance that you may not get the results you expect , just like with other procedures, especially if you have a FUE hair transplant.

Compared to DHI hair transplant, the chance that the procedure will not go completely as you expected is less , as it has a 95 percent success rate. The way in which the Choi Implants Pen places the hair follicles allows them to be better preserved and to fit better in the recipient area.

With both procedures you will obtain results with a natural appearance, as long as you go with true specialists in hair restoration. However, the DHI hair transplant allows you to create a better angle when placing the hair follicles and look just like it did before it started to fall out.

The last point that differentiates both procedures is the price; By using high-level technology, the DHI hair transplant is more expensive than the one we perform with the FUE technique .
