DHI Method

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) elevates traditional FUE by combining extraction and placement into a single, seamless step. Using a sterile Choi implanter pen, our surgeons harvest each follicular unit with a micro-punch and immediately insert it into the recipient area—no premade incisions required. This “one-motion” approach lowers the time follicles spend outside the body, maximizes graft survival, and allows unparalleled control over angle, direction, and density, producing a hairline that looks as if it grew there naturally.

Because the Choi pen creates and fills the channel in the same stroke, tissue trauma is minimal and bleeding is dramatically reduced. Patients typically notice less post-operative redness and swelling than with conventional methods, and most can resume desk work within 24 hours. The technique is especially advantageous for restoring temples, eyebrows, and areas of sparse density where meticulous placement is critical. At Live Hair Clinic, we limit daily DHI sessions so our team can work at a deliberate pace, ensuring every graft is positioned with millimetre-level precision.

After the procedure, you’ll receive a customised after-care kit, PRP booster session options, and direct access to our 24/7 patient-care line. Combined with our detailed wash protocols and follow-up video check-ins, these measures help each implanted follicle enter its growth phase swiftly—usually within 10–12 weeks—before maturing into full density over the next 9–12 months. The result is a dense, natural-looking restoration with virtually no scarring and a faster, more comfortable recovery journey.
