Restore Your Hairline with the Advanced DHI Hair Implantation Technique

Experience the next generation of hair restoration at International Plus, Turkey’s premier hair transplant center in Istanbul. The DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique takes hair transplantation to the next level offering higher density, faster healing, and a scar-free, natural finish. Using advanced implanter pen technology, DHI enables precise placement of hair follicles without the need for channel incisions, ensuring outstanding results with minimal trauma to the scalp.

❓What Is the DHI Hair Transplant Technique?

The DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique is an evolution of the FUE method, using a specialized Choi Implanter Pen to extract and implant grafts directly into the scalp. Hair follicles are collected individually from the donor area (commonly the back of the head, or in some cases, beard or chest) using micro-motors.

DHI does not require channel opening or incisions. Each follicle is loaded into the implanter pen and inserted into the recipient area at a specific angle, depth, and direction — allowing surgeons to create natural, dense, and accurately aligned hairlines.

Key Benefits:

  • No scalpel, no stitches, and minimal bleeding
  • Higher graft survival rate and denser results
  • Shorter recovery period
  • Ideal for both men and women with thinning hair
  • Single-session completion with natural-looking outcomes

🩺 Types of DHI Hair Implantation Techniques

✔️ Classic DHI (Choi Pen Method):
Uses a precision implanter pen that allows direct implantation without pre-made incisions. Provides control over angle, direction, and depth for a highly natural finish.

✔️ DHI with Sapphire Extraction:
Combines sapphire-tipped tools for smoother graft harvesting with direct implantation — enhancing graft survival and minimizing scalp trauma.

✔️ Unshaven DHI (U-DHI):
Allows implantation without shaving the entire scalp, perfect for female patients or professionals seeking discreet results.

✔️ Hybrid DHI + FUE:
Integrates the precision of DHI implantation with the speed of FUE extraction, ensuring the best of both worlds in coverage and density.

🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?

✔️ Men and women suffering from moderate to advanced hair thinning or localized baldness.
✔️ Patients who prefer minimal downtime and no visible incisions.
✔️ Individuals with sufficient donor hair in healthy condition.
✔️ People seeking high-density and natural front hairline restoration.
✔️ Those who value precision, safety, and cutting-edge medical technology.

Our surgeons at International Plus carefully assess each patient’s scalp condition and goals to design a personalized DHI treatment plan.

🩺 Consultation & Preparation

Before undergoing a DHI hair transplant, our specialists perform an in-depth assessment:

✔️ Scalp and donor area analysis to evaluate hair density and thickness.
✔️ Personalized design of hairline and implantation direction.
✔️ Patients must avoid alcohol, smoking, and blood thinners 7 days before surgery.
✔️ Local anesthesia is administered for complete comfort.
✔️ Pre-operative medical evaluation ensures patients are healthy and suitable candidates for the procedure.

The result is a safe, customized experience with predictable, long-lasting outcomes.

🩺 Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery from a DHI hair transplant is faster and smoother compared to traditional methods:

✔️ Mild redness and sensitivity for 3–5 days post-surgery.
✔️ Patients can return to daily activities within 48–72 hours.
✔️ Avoid swimming, sun exposure, and intense workouts for at least 2 weeks.
✔️ Hair shedding of transplanted grafts occurs naturally within 2–3 weeks.
✔️ Noticeable new growth begins around 3–4 months, with full results visible within 9–12 months.

Our aftercare protocol includes personalized instructions, scalp care kits, and follow-up sessions to monitor growth and ensure optimal results.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Where do I even begin? My journey with International Plus has finally come to an end, and I can honestly say it has been one of the best experiences of my life. From my very first message until my final appointment, I felt cared for, respected, and genuinely valued. Choosing International Plus was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I couldn’t be happier with my new smile. The results are beyond anything I could have imagined—they are absolutely perfect. I would like to thank every single person who works at International Plus, because this experience was made special by the entire team, not just the dentists. To my amazing advisor, thank you for your endless patience, kindness, support, and for always being available whenever I had questions. You made every step of this journey stress-free and reassuring. To the incredible doctors—your professionalism, knowledge, precision, and attention to every detail are truly world-class. The quality of my new smile is simply outstanding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better result. A huge thank you to all the dental assistants, nurses, translators, and every member of the medical team who made me feel comfortable and cared for every single day. Thank you to the wonderful Digital Media team for capturing this unforgettable journey so beautifully. These memories will stay with me forever. I also want to thank the lovely staff who welcomed me every day with the most delicious coffee and warm smiles. It may seem like a small gesture, but it made every visit feel so personal and special. A special thank you to everyone who works behind the scenes to keep the clinic spotless. The cleanliness, organisation, and attention to detail throughout the clinic are absolutely exceptional and reflect the high standards of International Plus. What impressed me the most wasn’t only the outstanding dental work—it was the atmosphere. Everyone smiles, everyone is kind, everyone genuinely cares. You don’t feel like “just another patient”; you feel like part of a family. It is such a warm, positive, and welcoming environment that, honestly, I didn’t want to leave. I have already been recommending International Plus to people in Poland for the past two months, and now I’m also recommending the clinic to people in the USA, the UK, and Ireland. I genuinely believe everyone deserves the level of care and professionalism that you provide. And I can promise you one thing—you are going to be even busier! I will continue recommending International Plus to everyone because I have complete confidence in your team and in the incredible quality of your work. Thank you for giving me not only a beautiful new smile but also confidence, happiness, and unforgettable memories. This wasn’t simply dental treatment—it was an incredible journey that I will always remember.🫶🏼 I sincerely hope to come back next year for another plastic surgery procedure because I would love to see all of you again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are an extraordinary team, and I will never forget you.🫂❤️😭 With love and gratitude, Kamila
