EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HAIR TRANSPLANTS: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO DHI

Hair loss can be a stressful experience for anyone, but thanks to advancements in medical technology, hair transplants have become a reliable solution for restoring confidence and a full head of hair.

Among the various techniques available, Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) has gained recognition for its precision, natural results, and minimally invasive process. At Clinique de Paris, we specialize in this cutting-edge procedure, offering our clients a seamless journey toward hair restoration. Here's everything you need to know about DHI hair transplants.

What is DHI Hair Transplantation?

Direct Hair Implantation is a modern hair restoration technique that focuses on meticulous placement of hair follicles for the most natural-looking results. Unlike traditional methods such as FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation, aka ‘strip surgery’) or FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction, aka ‘hair plugs’), DHI uses a patented implanter tool, allowing surgeons to extract and implant hair grafts in a streamlined process.

The DHI Process

Clinique de Paris Hair Assessment

1. Consultation and Planning

The first step is an in-depth consultation with our experts at Clinique de Paris. During this session:

  • We analyze your scalp and hair condition.
  • Develop a personalized treatment plan that considers hair density, natural direction, and overall aesthetics.
  • Design a hairline that suits your face, proportions, gender and goals.

2. Hair Grafts Extraction

Using advanced tools, hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area— from the back or sides of the head. The process ensures minimal damage to surrounding tissue and preserves the integrity of the follicles.

3. Implantation

The harvested follicles are implanted directly into the thinning or balding areas using an implanter. This step allows our hair specialists to control:

  • Angle: Ensuring natural hair growth patterns.
  • Depth: Maintaining uniformity.
  • Direction: Achieving seamless blending with existing hair.

4. Post-Procedure Care

After the procedure, we provide tailored aftercare instructions to promote healing and maximize results. Most clients experience minimal downtime, with full recovery in a few days. Clinique de Paris also offers 24/7 customer care to patients, sending each one reminders and are open to questions anytime.

Why Choose DHI Over Other Techniques?

DHI offers several advantages over traditional hair transplant methods:

  • Precision: The implanter pen allows for unparalleled accuracy in hair graft placement.
  • Natural Results: The technique mimics natural hair growth patterns, making the results nearly indistinguishable from your existing hair.
  • Minimally Invasive: No incisions, stitches, or scars, resulting in faster healing and less discomfort.
  • High Survival Rate: The controlled handling of hair grafts ensures a higher success rate compared to other techniques. The DHI technique prides itself with a 97% graft survival rate, the highest in the industry.
  • Customizable: Each procedure is tailored to individual hairlines, density, and aesthetic goals.

DHI is suitable for individuals experiencing:

  • Male or female pattern baldness.
  • Hair thinning in specific areas.
  • Scalp scars requiring camouflage.

However, it’s essential to have a healthy donor area with sufficient hair density. Our experts at Clinique de Paris will assess your eligibility during the consultation. Depending on each patient’s case, the size or number of hair grafts needed will be based on the quantity and quality of hairs from the donor area and the area that needs to be covered.
