DHI Hair Transplant
Are you looking for a hair transplant that does not require shaving your hair?

Do the hairs need to be transplanted between your existing hairs? Then discover GlobalHair's DHI hair transplantation! This method uses your own hair follicles for a natural-looking, full head of hair without scars or pain.
What is a DHI hair transplant?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced hair transplantation method that offers natural and lasting results. One of the biggest advantages of the DHI technique is that the recipient area does not need to be shaved. This makes the procedure more appealing to people who are concerned about their appearance during recovery. Thanks to the use of specially developed equipment, hair follicles can be harvested and implanted directly, without making incisions or channels. This ensures a more comfortable experience and a faster recovery process. Are you curious about the possibilities? Always be well informed about the best hair transplant specifically for your hair type. GlobalHair's consultants and trichologists are ready to provide you with advice.

Natural and dense hair
DHI ensures natural growth direction and density of the transplanted hair, contributing to an optimal final result
Suitable for various hair types
DHI can be applied to both men and women, and is effective for different types of hair loss
The DHI process: how does it work?
During a preliminary consultation, the doctor assesses your hair loss, the condition of your scalp, and discusses your wishes and expectations. A treatment plan is drawn up, including the number of hair follicles that will be transplanted and the distribution on your scalp. The main feature of DHI is the use of a special Implanter Pen, which contains a hollow needle or pen. This pen allows the hair follicles to be implanted directly into the receptive area without first creating the channel. The doctor places each hair follicle one by one in the desired location and direction for a natural look. The final result is usually seen within 12 to 18 months after the procedure and is permanent. Recovery time may vary, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
Besides the DHI method, you can also opt for a Fue Hair Transplant Technique or Sapphire Hair Transplant Technique.

Frequently asked questions regarding DHI hair transplantation
What does a DHI Hair Transplant involve?
A DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant involves directly implanting hair follicles in the recipient areas using a special implant pen. First, hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the head) under local anaesthesia. Then, these hair follicles are immediately implanted in the predetermined areas without prior incision. This ensures high precision and a natural look. New hair growth usually starts after about 3 months.
Is a DHI Hair Transplant a painful procedure?
A DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant is generally not painful thanks to the use of local anaesthesia. The anaesthesia ensures that you do not feel any pain during the procedure. However, some temporary side effects may occur after the procedure, such as mild pain, discomfort, or a feeling of itching in the treated areas. These side effects are usually mild and can be relieved with prescribed painkillers or medication. Most patients find the pain tolerable after the procedure and can quickly resume their daily activities.
How many grafts are transplanted in a day?
In a DHI hair transplant, up to about 4,500 grafts can be placed. The exact number of hair follicles that can be transplanted depends on the quality of the donor area and the need in the transplant area.
Why does the DHI technique have restrictions on the number of grafts?
The DHI technique requires a lot of precision because each hair follicle is implanted individually using a special implanter Pen. This precision makes the process time-consuming, limiting the number of grafts that can be implanted in one session at most clinics. However, it is important to note that the number of grafts that can be transplanted in one session depends on the individual situation and the expertise of the medical team.
Am I suitable for a DHI Hair Transplant?
Whether you are suitable for a DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant depends on several factors. You must have enough healthy hair in the donor area and a stable form of hair loss. Good general health and a healthy scalp are also important. An experienced specialist can assess whether DHI is the best option for you after a thorough evaluation. It is crucial to have realistic expectations and follow aftercare instructions carefully.
How long does a DHI Hair Transplant take
A DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant typically takes between 4 and 12 hours, depending on the size of the procedure and the number of grafts to be transplanted. Smaller treatments may be at the shorter end of this range, while larger sessions may take longer. The duration includes both the collection of hair follicles from the donor area and the direct implantation of these grafts into the recipient areas. The exact time frame may vary depending on the specific situation and the experience of the treatment team.
What are the side effects of a DHI Hair Transplant?
The most common side effects of a DHI hair transplant are swelling around the eyes and forehead, mild pain or discomfort in the treated areas, and itching or scaling of the scalp. It is also normal for the transplanted hair to fall out temporarily, a phenomenon known as shock loss. Minor bleeding may occur at the implantation sites, but is usually minimal. In rare cases, infection may occur, which can be prevented by good hygiene and following aftercare instructions.
Are the results of a DHI hair transplant immediately visible?
The results of a DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant are not immediately visible. After the procedure, the transplanted hairs may temporarily fall out, a process known as shock loss, or shock loss. New hair growth usually starts after about 3 to 4 months, with full results often visible after 9 to 12 months. Patience is therefore important, as the final results become visible only after a longer period of time.
Are the transplanted hairs no longer falling out?
The transplanted hair follicles in a DHI hair transplant are derived from the hair crown and are not sensitive to the DHT hormone, preserving their unique structure and increasing the chances of hair growth. About 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure, the transplanted hairs may fall out, which is a normal part of the healing process. New hair growth usually starts after about 3 months. It is important to strictly adhere to the guidelines, as by doing so, you yourself largely contribute to the final result.
What will my head look like after DHI hair implantation?
After a DHI hair transplant, your head may be temporarily red and swollen, with scabs around the implanted hair follicles. The donor area may also feel slightly swollen and painful, with small scabs or dots. Within a maximum of 12 days, the scabs usually disappear completely, and in most cases the redness is also almost gone by then. Swelling usually disappears within 3-5 days.
What does a DHI hair transplant cost?
The cost of a DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant can vary depending on several factors, such as the clinic, the experience of the doctor, the number of grafts to be transplanted, and the geographical location. Generally, the cost ranges between €2,000 and €10,000. The price can also be influenced by the complexity of the procedure and the follow-up care required. It is advisable to request quotes from several clinics and check which services and guarantees are included.
Which is better, the FUE method or DHI method?
The choice between the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) methods depends on your personal needs. Both techniques can produce similar results. The most important thing to consider when making your choice is whether or not you are willing to shave off the transplant area.
Is a DHI hair transplant safe?
Yes, a DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant is generally safe. The procedure is minimally invasive and uses local anaesthesia, so you won't experience any pain during the procedure. Hair follicles are implanted directly, which reduces the risk of damage and can aid recovery. However, safety depends on the experience of the specialist and the quality of the clinic. It is important to choose a recognised and experienced doctor to minimise risks.
When can I return to work?
After a DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant, you can usually return to work within 1 to 3 days, depending on the nature of your work and how you feel. For heavier physical work or activities that cause a lot of perspiration, it is wise to wait 1 to 2 weeks. You may experience mild discomfort in the first few days, such as swelling or redness, but these usually disappear quickly. Be sure to follow your doctor's aftercare instructions to promote smooth healing and prevent any complications.
What can go wrong with a DHI hair transplant?
Some complications can occur with a DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant, although they are rare. Infection may occur due to insufficient hygiene or failure to follow aftercare instructions. Swelling and pain in the treatment and donor areas are possible, but usually temporary. Shock loss may lead to temporary loss of transplanted hair, and not all hair follicles may take root properly, which may result in less hair growth. Following aftercare instructions and choosing an experienced specialist helps minimise these risks.
