Restore hairline and confidence with minimally invasive techniques.
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is an advanced, minimally invasive hair restoration technique that involves the extraction and immediate implantation of individual hair follicles using a specialised implanter. Unlike older methods, DHI does not require incisions or channel creation in the recipient area. This approach allows for precise control of angle, depth, and direction during implantation, ensuring a dense, natural-looking result with minimal trauma and no linear scarring.
Comprehensive Assessment:
A detailed consultation is performed, including medical history, photographic documentation, and magnified trichoscopy to evaluate donor density and graft requirements.
Pre-Procedure Preparation:
On the day of treatment, the donor and recipient areas are trimmed and cleansed. Local anaesthetic is administered to ensure complete patient comfort.
Graft Extraction:
Using a motorised extraction device with a micro punch (typically 0.6–0.8 mm in diameter), follicular units are carefully harvested from the donor zone. These grafts are immediately stored in a physiological solution to maintain their vitality.
Implantation Using the DHI Technique:
Each graft is implanted directly into the recipient area using a precision implanter. This tool allows for meticulous placement of each follicle without the need to create incisions beforehand. Hair is implanted at a natural angle, depth, and direction, replicating the original growth pattern of the patient’s hair.
Completion and Aftercare Briefing:
Once implantation is complete, the scalp is gently cleansed. A tailored post-operative care pack is provided, and detailed instructions are reviewed to ensure optimal healing.
The procedure typically lasts 6 to 8 hours depending on the number of grafts and may be split over two sessions for larger cases.
We use the DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique, which ensures precise follicle placement and natural-looking density.
Around 8 hours per session, or over two days for more extensive treatments.
Recovery is quick—you’ll be back to daily life in just a few days. Full hair growth occurs within 6–12 months.
Anyone with thinning or balding areas and sufficient donor hair from the back of the scalp.
Yes—the transplanted follicles are permanent and resistant to future hair loss.
