What is DHI?
There are several methods developed to regrow hair. The two main types of hair treatments used for hair loss are FUT and FUE. Both the techniques are largely similar. The main point is extracting the hair follicles and implanting them.
During FUT, Follicular Unit Transplant the surgeon peels off a strip of skin from the donor site. The hair follicles are extracted from this peeled skin. While in FUE treatment the hair follicles are individually removed from your scalp directly. The extracted hair follicles in both methods are transplanted to the balding area on the scalp.
DHI hair transplant is a modified version of FUE hair transplant. The difference between the two is that in FUE, the surgeon cuts the tracks manually before the transplantation of hair follicles. While in DHI hair transplant, the surgeon uses a specially designed pen-shaped tool that performs both the tasks, i.e. cutting the channels and implanting.

- The tool will be filled with the hair follicles and then implanted in the recipient area.
