DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique:
Who are the right candidates for DHI?
DHI technique is perfect for the ones whose balding area isn’t big and looks for density.
How is it done?
DHI is the adjusted technique of FUE. In DHI surgeons use a special medical pen “Choi Pen” to open recipiente channels and plant the hair follicles at the same time.
Hair follicles are extracted one by one with the aid of a micro motor machine.
In DHI technique, a surgeon depending on their patients’ preferences can either shave the whole head or just the area the surgeon will extract the hair follicles from (Donor area).
Washing hair after the surgery:
Washing hair after Hair transplantation operation is an important step to be done 24 hours post the operation.
Why wash it Daily?
Patients should wash their hair daily during the first 15 days.
Removing scabs will accelerate the healing process, which at this stage the lotion may become dispensable.
Most important tips:
1- Put lotion on your head 45 minutes before showering.
2- Create foam of shampoo between your hands and spread it gently on your donor and receipt areas.
3- Rinse your head with warm water and be careful to remove all the shampoo.
NOTE: DO NOT use the shower directly when rinsing instead, use a bowl to pour the water.
Washing hair after Hair transplantation operation is an important step to be done 24 hours post the operation.
FUE & DHI Recovery Process:
The recovery process of the hair transplant surgery lasts between 3-7 days.
After the 7th day, swelling, bleeding, discomfort and scab should be improved or gone with some patients.
2-3 weeks post the surgery, the newly transplanted hair will fall off, don’t worry! The follicles are healthy and good, your hair will grow back again between the second and third months post surgery, take a note that before this duration you will look the same as before the surgery so, don’t panic!
At the end of the 4th month, a thin and delicate new hair will start to grow from the transplanted follicles, but by the 8th month you will see much longer and thicker hair.
To see the final results of the hair transplant surgery , you have to wait for 10- 12 months.
