DAY OF OPERATION PLANNING

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) stands for “Direct Hair Implantation”. DHI technique is a method mostly applied for sparse hair loss or unshaven transplantation. With this method, the location of the roots and graft implantation in the area to be transplanted are done at the same time. In other words, extraction and implantation are combined as one piece in a two-stage process. In this method, a medical pen called implanter is used by experts in the field. After the grafts (hair follicles) are placed in the implanter pen, which has a pointed, very thin and cylindrical tip, they are implanted in the area of hair loss in a single step thanks to the pushing feature of the pen. In this method, there is no need to open a canal in the scalp and thus comfort is provided to the patient. In the FUE DHI hair transplantation technique, grafts are collected using the FUE method as in other techniques.
In short, while the process is three-stage in the hair transplantation technique called FUE, it is two-stage in DHI.

As with any surgical procedure, there may be side effects in hair transplantation. These can be bleeding, itching or temporary hair loss, which we call shock hair loss. These side effects are temporary and usually do not affect daily life. It is best to be performed by specialists to avoid rare conditions such as infection and necrosis.
It is not recommended to shave the transplanted area with a razor before 3 months . Also is not recommented to shave the donor area with the a razor before 1 month. Coloring before 6 months is also not recommended. After the transplanted hair grows, you can care for it like your natural hair. You can style, cut and color your transplanted hair as you wish, just like you do with your existing hair.
Recovery times vary from person to person. In general, most patients can return to their daily routine a few days after the procedure. There may be mild redness, itching and crusting in the extraction area and sometimes in the transplantation area, but it passes within a week or two.
Generally, edema does not occur much with DHI hair transplantation method. If edema occurs after DHI hair transplantation, the edema and swelling will disappear completely by itself in about 1 week by drinking plenty of water. These fluids enter the body circulation and are excreted by the kidneys in the form of urine or sweat.
Yes, hair transplantation is considered a permanent solution for hair loss. Since the transplanted hair follicles have estrogen receptors, they are resistant to the effects of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for hair loss. Therefore, transplanted hair is a permanent solution until cell aging
There is usually no pain after the surgery. However, there may be discomfort or itching after hair transplantation, which may vary from person to person. These discomforts are temporary and disappear within a few days.
Coming to the examination with long hair before the hair transplant operation makes it easier for the specialist to learn more about the condition of your hair. Therefore, it is recommended that you come to the examination without shaving your hair.
Hair growth after transplantation is a gradual process. Within a few weeks, the transplanted hair will fall out and this is normal. The transplanted hair usually starts to grow after the 3rd month and becomes more prominent day by day. Full results are usually seen 8 to 12 months after the procedure.
Local anesthesia is applied to the area where the surgery will be performed, so you will not feel any pain at the beginning of the procedure. Since this anesthesia will numb that area during the operation, you will not feel any pain during the procedure.
After DHI Hair Transplantation, there may be minimal scars in the operation area. However, these scars can usually be covered with hair and become indistinct over time.
