DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is a more advanced hair transplantation method where the hair follicles are removed from the back and sides of the head one-by-one using a first-rate extractor, before directly being placed on the thinning areas of the head.
Many women will feel the effects of thinning hair throughout their life, and therefore will opt for either a regular or DHI Hair Transplantation. If they were to choose the latter option, they would be selecting a more advanced and quicker technique that provides more comfort and potentially more natural-looking hair.
DHI is a very good alternative for patients who do not want to shave while hair transplantation. Therefore, this process becomes more important especially for women. The difference from the standard operation is that there is no need to cut the hair while doing this.
You have a dedicated team of patient advisors, nurses, and your surgeon to support you throughout the entire journey, and after it. However, this is a surgery that demands you to take several steps to help ensure that your treatment goes as smoothly as possible. Avoiding some points can help you recover faster, and also minimize the risk of complications.
Your surgeon must be informed of all prescriptions you are taking currently, and been given in the past.
It is vital that you quit smoking at least three weeks before surgery, and that includes the use of e-cigarettes, and other tobacco based products. Smoking may delay recovery times, and pose potential risk after surgery.
Our team will cut your hair for you, so you are not required to handle this yourself.
Herbal teas and supplementations must be avoided, as they can cause bleeding during and after surgery.
Medications for blood thinning – such as aspirin – should no longer be used at this stage.
Painkillers are permitted to be used, on the condition that they contain paracetamol. If not, then it is critical that you inform your surgeon.
We ask you kindly to wash rigorously before the operation, focusing on the head and facial parts in particular.
Contact lenses, makeup, accessories and jewelry must not be worn.
We recommend wearing comfortable and loose clothes. Button-front shirts would be preferable.
Your Hair Transplantation will be carried out with the utmost care by your Hair Transplantation team and you can be sure that the same standard of care will continue during the regular post operative checks to ensure a smooth recovery.
