Correct. Making an opening in advance is whats called 'pre-made slits'.

With DHI the 'slit' is created as the needle penetrates the scalp and the graft is immediately ejected into this opening within a second most likely. 

Unfortunately, DHI is being used to describe an implanter pen inserting into pre-made slits. 

For example, Cosmedica's top package, Dr. Acar does incisions and they still use implanters:

I didn't know some were doing this and calling it DHI to be honest! 

Seems like a strange move to go to the effort of making pre made slits and then using a pen to implant the grafts regardless

To implant a hair follicle, there has to be an opening of some kind.

I think his 'USP' as such, is a vacuum assisted punch he uses for extractions - @HugoX has had surgery with him, so he will be in a better place to help advise. 

Correct, extraction method is as mentioned vacuum assisted punch which there is some info about here, https://www.hairtransplantation.bg/index.php/en/hair-transplant/transplant-methods/the-ava-fue-technique-we-apply. 

The implanting is done as also mentioned with implanter pen, (no premade slits),. And he does all parts of the surgery himself, exept loading the implanter pens (obviously).

He did mention that he will in the future explain a bit more about his extraction method.
