DHI
Premium Technique

DHI

Direct Hair Implantation

Maximum Density & Precision with Choi Pen

Direct Hair Implantation

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced evolution of FUE. Using the patented Choi Implanter Pen, follicles are extracted and implanted simultaneously in one step — eliminating the need for pre-made channels. This dramatically reduces the time grafts spend outside the body, increasing survival rates, and allows for ultra-precise angle and depth control.

Duration

7–10 hours

Recovery

5–7 days

Max Grafts

Up to 4,000

Pain Level

Minimal (local anesthesia)

Ideal For

Hairline refinement, high-density zones
