Implanter Pen Technique or DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is to implant the hair follicles taken with FUE method to the skin by using the pen (Implanter). The method enables a more advanced, successful, painless and rapid recovery process in hair transplantation.

Hair follicles are transplanted one by one into the area to be planted with DHI technique. Each hair follicle is planted as the maximum living hair follicle with the DHI pen which was developed to enable implanting based on its specific angle, direction and depth. The planted hair will grow and dwell throughout the lifetime of the patient. The entire procedure is carried out by the physicians trained by DHI. In DHI Method, the hair follicles are removed one by one from the donor area and prepared as special pieces in 1mm or less. Follicles are maintained at the appropriate temperature and in special solutions without disintegration, cutting or touching. In the area where hair follicles are to be planted, 1 mm or less is planted directly with DHI pen technique without opening the holes and cuts. As a result of the application of depth, direction and angle in each graft, the patient regains the living hair follicles and growing hair throughout his life.

Advantages of Pen Technique

• Since the tips of the pen are thin, hair transplantation is performed more frequently.
• Since it is easier to give a direction (angle) to the hair planted with the pen, a more natural look is provided.
• Since there is no need to open channel, existing hair in the area is not damaged.
• Since there is no need to open channel, bleeding is less in the area of the plantation and therefore, recovery is more rapid. Scars in the scalp do not occur.
• It is not obligatory to cut the hair in the area where planting will be performed.
• The survival rate of tissues is higher.
• Less damage occurs in follicle transfer.
• Maximum frequency and natural appearance is obtained.

Application
Roots taken with FUE method are placed in pens by nurses. The doctor injects the root into the skin by adjusting the depth, direction and angle of the pencils. The needle automatically retracts and the follicle remains under the skin.
Since the pens are thinner than 1 mm, it is possible to implant the hair follicles between the dilute areas, beard and mustache areas without leaving any scars and troughs in the desired frequency, and if possible without cutting the existing hair. Besides, eyebrow restoration which looks completely natural can also be performed. We prefer two different sized needles for single use pens. We use 0.8 mm for 1 and 2 grafts; and 1 mm for 2, 3 and 4 grafts.
