FUE vs DHI: Which Technique is Right for You?

When considering a hair transplant in Pune, two techniques stand out as the most advanced and popular options: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). Understanding the differences between these methods will help you make an informed decision.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

FUE is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a specialized punch tool. The extracted follicles are then implanted into the recipient area after creating small incisions.

Advantages of FUE:

• No linear scar, only tiny dot scars that are virtually invisible

• Faster healing and recovery time

• Less post-operative discomfort

• Suitable for patients who prefer shorter hairstyles

• Can be performed in multiple sessions if needed

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)

DHI is an advanced version of FUE where the extraction and implantation are performed simultaneously using a specialized tool called the Choi Implanter Pen. This technique allows for more precise control over the angle, direction, and depth of each implanted follicle.

Advantages of DHI:

• Higher survival rate of transplanted follicles

• More precise control over hair direction and angle

• Denser packing of follicles possible

• Minimal handling of grafts reduces trauma

• No need to create recipient sites beforehand

Which Technique is Right for You?

The choice between FUE and DHI depends on several factors including your hair loss pattern, desired density, hair characteristics, and budget. During your consultation at our Pune clinic, we'll evaluate these factors and recommend the most suitable technique for your specific needs.
