Hair transplant is a common procedure that is getting popular with men and women around the world. The affordable prices, new technologies, efficient results cause high demand followed by a wide range of offers. Clinics around the world attract clients with different transplant techniques, prices, the package offers so you can be a little confused. Let’s find out what is what.

FUE hair transplant

FUE hair transplant is the technique based on the extraction of hair grafts with the surrounding tissue. Each graft is extracted individually by a special machine (mechanical) or manually by a specialist. It is considered as less traumatic and leaves no scars. A graft contains 1-4 hair follicles. Being resistant to male hormones, transplanted hair takes root well and grows throughout life.

FUE can restore eyebrows, moustache, and beard hair as well.

DHI

The Direct Hair Implant method is a kind of transplantation with a special punch called CHOI pen of 0.7-0.9 mm in diameter. This tool doesn’t damage hair bulbs during extraction + implantation. The expert takes the follicle from the donor area inside the pen and implants it into the skin by pressing a button. This method is performed manually at an angle of 40-45 degrees which is the natural angle of hair growth, lasts 5-9 hours. DHI is considered as the most accurate and painless. It is carried out without preliminary incisions — making possible a patient to return to usual life shortly.
