01Clinical procedure
DHI implantation
Direct Hair Implantation uses implanter pens to place follicular units into the recipient area. Whether DHI is the most appropriate technique for a particular case — rather than FUE, FUT or a non-surgical pathway — is a clinical decision discussed at consultation.
Technique selection is made after assessment.

02What this treatment is
How DHI is approached
What DHI is
DHI is a method of placing follicular units using a Choi-type implanter pen rather than first creating recipient sites separately. It is one of several techniques used in hair restoration and is not automatically the best option for every case.
Who it may suit
DHI may be considered where it is the clinically appropriate choice for a particular patient. Whether DHI, FUE, FUT or a non-surgical pathway is most suitable depends on hair characteristics, donor area, hair-loss pattern and individual goals.
How planning works
Treatment planning begins with a private consultation. A written plan and itemised quotation are provided after assessment, with time to consider before any decision to proceed.
On the day of treatment
What the day involves is explained clearly during consultation. The pathway from arrival through to discharge is described in the written plan so nothing is decided on the day itself.
Recovery and aftercare
Recovery expectations vary between individuals. Aftercare guidance and follow-up arrangements are discussed before treatment as part of the written plan.
03Suitability
Technique selection is consultation-led
DHI is not inherently better than FUE or FUT — each technique has its place. The right approach for a particular patient depends on clinical assessment, not on the technique alone. We do not recommend a technique before consultation.
- DHI is not the right choice for every case.
- Hair characteristics, donor area and clinical findings all influence the decision.
- If we are not the right clinic for a particular case, we will say so during consultation.
Treatment recommendations are made after assessment. A consultation is a conversation, not a sales meeting.
04Risks and limitations
All procedures carry risks and limitations
Hair restoration is a clinical procedure. All procedures carry risks and limitations, and outcomes vary between individuals. Risks, alternatives, expected limitations and the realistic range of outcomes are discussed openly during consultation, before any decision to proceed.

05DHI — common questions
Common questions
Neither technique is automatically better. The right approach depends on individual clinical factors and personal goals, and is discussed during consultation rather than chosen by technique name alone.
Natural-looking results depend on conservative planning, careful technique and realistic expectations. Outcomes vary between individuals and are discussed openly during consultation.
Suitability depends on clinical assessment. We do not make suitability decisions online or recommend a particular technique before consultation.
Recovery varies between individuals. General expectations, aftercare guidance and follow-up arrangements are discussed before treatment as part of the written plan.
Pricing depends on individual assessment and the technique selected. A written plan and itemised quotation are provided after consultation, before any decision to proceed.
