What are the techniques used in hair transplantation?
In our hospital, the canal technique called FUE and the DHI ( Choi Pen) techniques are used for hair transplantation. For the canal technique, first canals are opened for the obtained grafts to be implanted. Whereas with the DHI technique, the follicles are implanted directly without opening canals.

• What is the FUE ( Canal Technique ) technique? How is it performed?
Nowadays, the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, which yields highly natural and satisfying results is the most preferred method. With this technique, the follicles are taken one by one and implanted to the area lacking in hair. The follicles may be collected from the area between the ears, behind the head. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia. With the FUE technique, up to 5000 follicles can easily be implanted in a single session. As it is a surgical procedure performed in an operating room with local anesthesia, it could be considered a tissue transplantation. It is a procedure that needs to be performed under hospital conditions

• What is the DHI ( CHOI PEN ) Technique? How is it performed?
Known as the "pen technique" or "Choi Pen", it is not a hair transplantation technique, but a method of implementation. DHI pen (Choi Pen) hair transplantation is a technique where the follicles collected from the donor area are transplanted to the designated area with the help of DHI pens.

• What is the difference between the FUE and DHI?
The FUE technique is carried out after opening canals for the follicles to be implanted. Whereas the DHI is carried out directly, without opening canals. In the FUE technique, a tumescent solution is administered to the area where canals will be opened, this isn't done for the DHI technique. The local application of both is the same. Recuperation is faster for the DHI technique. This there is no tumescence, the circulatory problems are kept to a minimum. With the DHI technique, the grafts remain outside for a shorted period. In terms of density, the DHI technique is more efficient for local hair loss.
