For many years, human beings have made endless efforts to beautify their appearance. Meanwhile, continuous efforts to restore the volume of lost hair led to the invention of a method called natural hair transplantation. It did not take long for different methods to be proposed for this operation from all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the newest and best hair transplant methods that is used today in prestigious clinics in Iran, Turkey, UAE and other parts of the world is DHI hair transplantation<\/strong>. In this method, the applicant’s own hair is used for transplantation, and in this regard, DHI hair transplantation<\/strong> is a non-invasive and guaranteed method that has been very effective in restoring the hair. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is a corrective procedure for the FUE method introduced by DHI Global Medical Group.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, by using hair transplantation by the DHI method<\/strong>, the hair transplantation tool practically replaces the doctor’s hand, and this issue not only increases the accuracy and speed of work but also prevents the possibility of infection and also prolongs the implantation process. One of the hair transplant centers by DHI method<\/strong> is Helia dermatologic clinic with the valuable presence of Dr. Khorasani. In this center, we are ready to provide beauty services to all aspirants with the highest percentage of efficiency and the lowest complications.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does the DHI Method Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

DHI is a modified version of the FUE hair transplant, and both methods follow a similar procedure. For natural hair transplantation by the DHI method, the surgeon removes hair follicles from the scalp using a special pen with a thin tip and places them on the bald areas of the head without any delay or scratching. These follicles eventually cause new hair to grow. In fact, the difference between this method and FUE is that in the FUE method, first the follicles are extracted from the back, in the second stage, the doctor uses special tools in the bald area to create a series of points for hair follicle transplantation, and in the third stage, the extracted follicles are put inside these holes.<\/span><\/p>\n

But in DHI hair transplantation<\/strong>, the second stage of FUE is eliminated, and hair transplantation is done directly and without delay. The pen-like device itself has both scratches and grafts. Just like injecting the medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Analyzing the Disadvantages and Advantages of Direct Hair Transplantation or DHI<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Planting Steps<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\nAdvantages<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\nDisadvantages<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1- DHI is a modified version of FUE hair transplantation and requires shaving the donor area. Therefore, before starting the implantation process, the hair of the donor area should be shaved so that the grafts can be extracted easily.<\/span><\/td>\n1- As with all methods derived from the FUE method, at the end of DHI hair transplantation, no scars remain on the back of the head that is selected as the hair source.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n

1- If this method is performed by an inexperienced physician, severe side effects such as severe bleeding, dizziness, pain, increased heart rate, inflammation of the hair follicles, scattered and undesirable appearance around the donor area and scarring may occur.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2- The doctor marks the areas to be implanted with a marker to know where each graft should be grafted. In this way, a natural and beautiful hair growth line will be created.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n2- The survival rate of follicles after implantation by the DHI method is more than 90%. Therefore, the result of this hair transplant will be dense and natural.<\/span><\/td>\n2- The number of hair transplants in one session with DHI hair transplantation is between 1500 and 3000 grafts, which is less than some other methods.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3- For the convenience of the patient and to facilitate the work of the physician during DHI implantation, the areas of the hair source and the receiving area are placed under local anesthesia by drugs such as lidocaine (injectable).<\/span><\/td>\n3- The recovery period after DHI hair transplantation is much shorter than other methods, especially those that follow the FUT method. In this way, people will no longer see the effects of small wounds and scabs after 15 to 25 days after hair transplantation.<\/span><\/td>\n3- Not suitable for very wide baldness.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4- The surgeon uses a sharp instrument to begin extracting hair follicles from the backside of the head, and this extraction will continue until the number of grafts is sufficient. The important thing about this method is that the hair follicles are removed one by one from the scalp and attached to the bald area.<\/span><\/td>\n4- The number of sessions of this type of hair transplant in most cases is only one session and the whole work is done with this one session.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5- Hair follicles are loaded in a tool in the form of a pen and are grafted at the bald part of the scalp at appropriate and sufficient distances.<\/span><\/td>\n5- Hair transplantation by the DHI method can be done for women and men over 21 years old who have baldness or thinning hair for any reason.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6- After the hair transplant, which may take about 8 hours (depending on the number of grafts transplanted), the surgeon applies antibiotic cream to all parts of the head and covers it with special bandages to prevent infection.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7- The final results of DHI hair transplantation take about 12 to 18 months.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

  2. Using a fine-tipped pen-like tool, the doctor removes hair follicles from the person’s hair source.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The hair follicles are placed in a pen tool and attached to the bald area of the scalp by pressing the piston.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. At this stage, antibiotic cream is applied to the donor and planted areas of the follicles and the bandage is applied to the implanted area.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How long does the DHI method take and when are the results visible?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Side Effects and Precautions of DHI Hair Transplantation<\/span><\/h2>\n

    DHI hair transplants<\/strong> are relatively safe and rarely cause any side effects. DHI and FUE are less invasive than other hair transplants because they do not require a strip cut at the back to obtain a graft. The DHI technique causes some small scars on the scalp. These scars are usually not noticeable. However, if this procedure is performed by an unskilled and untrained physician in an unreliable clinic, severe complications may happen to the applicant. Here are some possible side effects of visiting an unreliable DHI hair transplant<\/strong> center:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Negative reaction to anesthetic: During DHI hair implantation, local anesthesia is performed to avoid pain. This anesthesia is generally safe but may cause adverse reactions in some people. Of course, the vast majority of reactions are related to fear or anxiety, not a local allergy to the drug.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Infection: Infection may also occur at the donor site (hair bank) or in the area where the hair follicles have been implanted (recipient). Serious infections are usually rare and occur in less than 1% of cases. This is often due to the negligence of the novice operator.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Excessive hair loss shock: Hair loss shock can occur within 2 months after DHI hair transplantation, which is often temporary. After that, complete recovery takes about 3 to 4 months. But if implanted in unreliable centers with inexperienced staff, most grafts may be lost forever. It also depends on how the person takes care of the grafts.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Adverse Appearance: When hair follicles are grafted, they should be aligned so that they grow naturally and in the direction of the individual’s own hair. If the follicles are implanted improperly and not in the same direction as the growth of other hairs, it may lead to an appearance that the person is not satisfied with.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Bleeding<\/span><\/li>\n
    6. Vertigo<\/span><\/li>\n
    7. Pain<\/span><\/li>\n
    8. Increase in heart rate<\/span><\/li>\n
    9. Inflammation of hair follicles<\/span><\/li>\n
    10. Improper appearance around the donor graft area<\/span><\/li>\n
    11. Scarring<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Additional Description about DHI Hair Transplant<\/span><\/h2>\n

      The client’s growth line is measured with a three-dimensional laser device that is in harmony with the anatomy of the person’s face, and this is done by Dr. Khorasani, who has 16 years of experience in hair transplantation. Because the growth line is one of the most important parts of hair transplantation and because of its sensitivity in the face, Dr. Khorasani personally implants this part. According to the above description, the Hair Transplantation by Micrograft method<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is not just a DHI device or an implant device, but a total of three implant methods. Unlike other clinics where the whole process (extraction and implantation) is performed by technicians, in Helia Clinic, important parts of implantation work and complete supervision in other stages are performed by Dr. Khorasani with 16 years of experience in hair transplantation.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \"Additional<\/p>\n

      In general, DHI is not a method and is a tool used in hair transplantation that can cause more density, without scars. But some medical centers sometimes refer to DHI practically or inadvertently as a hair transplant method, whereas it is a tool for the micrograft method, which is performed completely and exclusively by Dr. Khorasani himself in Helia specialized Clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n

      DHI is sold in various sizes and dimensions in global markets. It has different types and is used separately for hair, hairline, eyebrow implants and beard implants. DHI is offered in different colors, each of which indicates its type and use in different areas of the head and face and if the color and size are not paid attention to, the candidates will not get the desired result from this tool. In general, green color is used for beard implantation, the blue color is used for growth line, red color is used for hair transplantation and green color is used for eyebrow implantation.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Apart from this, the doctor, depending on the type of hair source can sometimes use different colors for implantation, other than of the above conventional methods. Because the type and thickness of hair strands are different. Fortunately, Dr. Khorasani, due to his brilliant record in the field of implantation, has the necessary skills in using DHI tools in micrograft and SUT methods.<\/span><\/p>\n
