Understanding Hair Transplant Techniques
When researching hair transplants, you'll quickly encounter two dominant techniques: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). Both are advanced, minimally invasive approaches — but they differ in how follicles are implanted.
FUE Hair Transplant
FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and creating recipient channels before implanting them. It is the gold standard for most patients and allows maximum flexibility in graft placement.
DHI Hair Transplant
DHI uses a specialized Choi implanter pen to extract and implant follicles simultaneously, without pre-made channels. This technique offers greater control over angle and direction, particularly for adding density.
