Direct Hair Implantation vs. Follicular Unit Extraction
Before you put your deposit down for your treatment, you might want to consider the different pros and cons of having alternative hair replacement treatments carried out.
Direct Hair Implantation vs. Follicular Unit Extraction
The extraction process is very similar for both DHI and FUE; the main difference is in the mathematical strict protocols in the extraction guidelines and the safe zones, as well as the implantation method.
The latest revolutionary DHI technique eliminates the use of scalpels or sharp pointed tip tools in order to make recipient holes where the follicles are to be implanted which can cause more scarring and just simply cannot give the density or natural hairline as when used with a DHI Method. The procedure is virtually pain free to give you healthy, 100% natural dense looking head of hair.
The DHI technique comprises a blend of artistic conception of hairline design with a scientific mathematical distribution and precision in locating the follicles.
DHI is a technique that yields long lasting and permanent result. Exact and precise accuracy of the placement of the follicles is guaranteed and maintained with the use of DHI implanter. FUE or FUT methods are prone to errors since the process involves the use of scalpels or sharp pointed tip tools prior to implantation, then forceps are used to place or insert the follicles, which usually cannot give the exact angle, direction, or depth every time in order to insert the follicles. This can also lead to a less viability rate for the follicles to take and succeed due too much manipulation of the follicles since forceps are being used to insert the follicles in the recipient holes.
With Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), Hair follicles are implanted one by one directly to the thinning area that needs to be covered. Each hair follicle is placed in a specific direction, angle and depth, thanks to the DHI’s unique tools, providing 100% natural results and maximum density.
Unlike FUE method done by other Doctors or Hair restoration companies, the FUE along with the DHI method is done with highly skilled and certified DHI trained Doctors, this process does not inflict any prior incision and is, therefore, has no scarring which can cause the hair to look like a doll-like type of hair coming out of the scalp.
The DHI Academy – The Mother of Innovation
The DHI London Academy is the world’s first full time training institution for hair restoration.
The Academy developed strict educational protocols and SOPS (Standard Operating Procedures) and has now trained doctors, nurses and clinic managers from around the world.
We are proud that our protocols are now recognized by Public Health Authorities, ISO, the World Health Academy and are taught at public European Universities.
In the near future, we hope to establish the first University that will offer full time courses for the diagnosis and treatment of alopecia and hair and scalp disorders for doctors, nurses and clinic managers.
