Methods like the DHI choi pen technique, which was developed while pursuing the dream of more frequent hair transplantation, work wonders in hair transplantation.

How is hair transplantation performed with the DHI Hair Transplant technique?
Before the treatment, you will have a preliminary consultation where your doctor will explain what you need to keep in mind. This includes avoiding painkillers that contain acetylsalicylic acid, as they increase the risk of bleeding. You should arrive well-rested and in good physical condition, and refrain from consuming alcohol the day before. Make sure to wear suitable clothing that doesn’t need to be pulled over your head, as this could damage the freshly transplanted hair.
On the day of the procedure, the treatment plan and key information will be reviewed with you again. The planned transplant area or new hairline will then be marked on your scalp.
In the first phase, known as the extraction phase, the focus is on the donor area. For this, your doctor and their team will select a region with a high follicle density—usually at the back of the head, but sometimes from the beard or chest area. At this stage, the Choi Implanter Pen, the hallmark of the DHI method, is used to extract the grafts from the scalp.
This medical pen-like instrument contains a fine hollow needle that is only 0.5 to 1.5 millimeters thick. The doctor uses this delicate tool to carefully extract each hair follicle from the scalp with maximum precision and care.
After the grafts are extracted from the donor area, the transplanted hairs are inserted step by step into the pre-prepared recipient area. An intermediate step is not required with the DHI technique. Thanks to the Choi Pen, the specialist can now insert the follicles directly into the recipient area.
The freshly harvested grafts are implanted into the scalp at a precise angle and depth, without damaging the surrounding tissue. During a DHI hair transplant in Turkey, only minor micro-injuries occur. The less stress on the scalp, the faster the healing process and the denser the final result.
The entire procedure takes approximately six to eight hours, depending on the number of grafts. Patients can return to social life immediately after the treatment. The first visible results appear after three to four months, and the final results are visible after 12 to 15 months. The transplanted hair will last a lifetime.
The Biggest Advantages of a DHI Hair Transplant

For this reason, Direct Hair Implantation is currently considered the least invasive and most gentle method in hair restoration.

DHI and FUE Methods - What Are the Differences?
The difference between hair transplant techniques lies in how the transplanted hairs are inserted into the recipient area. With the FUE method, the grafts are manually implanted into the scalp using tweezers. In contrast, the specially developed Choi Implanter Pen is used during a DHI transplant.
With the FUE technique, the recipient channels must be opened before the grafts are inserted. In Direct Hair Implantation, as the name suggests, implantation takes place immediately after extraction, eliminating the need for separate incisions, channels, or openings.
The DHI method does not require shaving, making it especially popular among women who wish to maintain their hairstyle and men with long hair. DHI is often recommended for patients whose hair loss is not yet advanced. Long-term observations show that men over the age of 50 achieve the best results with the DHI technique.
Direct Hair Implantation also leads to faster recovery compared to the FUE method. Both the DHI and FUE methods have similar success rates, ranging from 90% to 95%. The success of a hair transplant in Turkey with either method depends on factors such as the experience of the treating physician, the quality of the grafts, and the patient’s post-operative care.
