S5089 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hello Experts, I would like to ask about DHI clinics, I have approached one in my country based on a friend who had his hair transplant and the results looked really good. The DHI advisor explained to me that they do not have a specific doctor doing the procedure but rather its the specialist who does it. And he said usually they travel from country to country depending on the load as they have many branches world wide. But what he said is that the results are consistent And all of the specialists are the same. Because i asked about the name of the specialist who will perform the hair transplant on me but he asked me to confirm the date first then they will be able to tell the name. But in all cases, they are not famous i think. They questions I have 1) What do you think of DHI method in general? Does it give consistent good result? 2) Do you think for DHI clinics, the specialist name is not important and all of them are the same as the advisor claimed? 3) Considering my budget around 8k dollar maximum, where is the best clinic you recommend me to have my hair transplant - I live in middle east and i am norwood 2 or 3 and i am 32 years old. I am planning to have my hair transplant on mid November 2022. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jackdaniels Posted October 10, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) DHI method is the use of sharp implanter to implant the grafts without making incisions firstly. Spanish clinics like dr Lorenzo, dr de Freitas, dr juan Couto, Villa, use DHI method with Choi implanter to implant the grafts without incisions. The advantage is that the doctor himself implants the grafts and not the techs. Also with Choi implanter there is less trauma to the scalp and the grafts are more safe and with less probabilities to get damaged during implantation. Dr turan also uses DHI method and he implants the grafts by himself. Edited October 10, 2022 by Jackdaniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted October 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2022 Are there any downsides to DHI? I'm sure this has been discussed ad nasueum but a search didn't reveal much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is difficult to change your method when you were trained with the other one and also DHI method is more time consuming method for the surgeon. Elite Spanish doctors such as Couto, Freitas, Lorenzo, Ximena Vila use the DHI method with sharp Choi implanter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ticker Posted October 10, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 10, 2022 I thought "stick and place" method is more time consuming and complex and its more suitable for "diffuse" thinners. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member StillAlive Posted October 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2022 Some clinics may also employ a hybrid approach. I had my surgery with Dr. Yaman and the first stage of the operation was him performing the incisions, then the final stage was implantation with choi pen in the pre-made slits.
