Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is a revolutionary hair restoration technique that enhances precision, graft survival, and overall aesthetic outcomes. Unlike traditional FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), DHI eliminates the need for pre-made incisions by using the Choi Implanter Pen, a specialized medical instrument designed for direct implantation of hair follicles. The Choi Pen, which resembles a writing pen, allows for meticulous placement of grafts, ensuring a natural hairline, optimal density, and minimal trauma to the scalp.
How the Choi Implanter Pen Works
The Choi Implanter Pen consists of a hollow needle at its tip, varying between 0.5mm to 1.5mm in diameter, depending on the patient’s hair characteristics. After follicular units are extracted from the donor area, they are delicately loaded into the Choi Pen using fine forceps. The surgeon begins the implantation process by inserting the needle at an optimal angle of 15-30 degrees in the frontal hairline, gradually increasing to 40-45 degrees as the implantation moves toward the crown and mid-scalp areas. This ensures that the transplanted hair follows the natural growth pattern of existing hair, blending seamlessly into the scalp. By meticulously considering the patient’s head shape and original hair angles, this technique allows for a lifelike hairline while maintaining optimal density and direction. This method enables patients to style their hair freely, whether they prefer short or long hairstyles, with complete flexibility and a natural appearance.
To maximize efficiency and reduce overall procedural time, 2 to 6 Choi Implanter Pens are typically used simultaneously. This not only enhances accuracy but also preserves the viability of follicles by minimizing the duration they remain outside the body.
Technical Advantages of DHI with the Choi Implanter Pen
DHI with the Choi Implanter Pen provides multiple advantages over traditional hair transplantation methods. The precise implantation technique eliminates the need for pre-made incisions, reducing scalp trauma, scarring, and recovery time. Because follicles are implanted immediately after extraction, their survival rate is significantly higher. The controlled implantation angle ensures natural-looking results, allowing transplanted hair to grow in the same direction as existing strands, giving patients the ability to style their hair effortlessly. Furthermore, DHI is particularly beneficial for individuals who prefer unshaven hair transplantation, as it allows for precise placement between existing hairs while maintaining a natural density.
The DHI Procedure at Swiss Klinikum
At Swiss Klinikum, we prioritize patient-centered care and medical excellence to achieve the best possible results. Our DHI hair transplantation process follows a structured approach:
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
A comprehensive evaluation of your hair loss pattern, donor area strength, and overall scalp health is conducted by our expert surgeons. We develop a tailored treatment plan based on your aesthetic goals and hair density needs.
Step 2: Precise Extraction of Hair Follicles
Using the latest FUE techniques, our specialists extract healthy follicular units from the donor area. These grafts are immediately preserved in a temperature-controlled, nutrient-rich solution to maintain their viability.
Step 3: Direct Implantation with the Choi Pen
The extracted follicles are loaded into the Choi Implanter Pen and implanted directly into the recipient area, following the natural growth pattern, angle, and density of existing hair. The implantation process adheres to globally accepted natural hair angles (15-30 degrees) in the frontal hairline, gradually increasing to 40-45 degrees as the implantation moves toward the crown and mid-scalp areas. This meticulous approach ensures a seamless blend with the patient’s natural hair, creating a full, natural, and dense hairline that allows for complete styling flexibility.
Step 4: Post-Procedure Care and Recovery
Following your DHI procedure, you will receive a customized post-operative care plan, including:
Specialized medications to promote healing and prevent infections.
Medical-grade shampoo and hair foam to ensure gentle cleansing of the scalp.
Detailed aftercare instructions on how to care for your new hair during the crucial recovery phase.
Follow-up consultations at 10 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months to track progress and ensure optimal growth.
