FUE and DHI Hair Transplant Techniques: Which One is Right for You?
Hair loss is a common problem faced by millions of people around the world. Thanks to the constantly developing techniques in the field of hair transplantation, it is now easier to treat hair loss and it is possible to achieve natural-looking results. In this article, we will discuss the two most preferred methods in the world of hair transplantation, FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Transplantation), in full detail and provide information on which one may be more suitable for you. We will also explain the unique services offered by Turkeyana in the field of health tourism.
What is FUE Hair Transplantation?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplantation technique in which hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area (usually the nape of the neck) and transplanted to hairless or sparse areas. This method does not require stitches or large incisions, unlike the traditional strip method. Each follicle is taken with the help of a micromotor or a manual tool and placed in the area to be transplanted. FUE allows patients to achieve a natural look with minimal scars.
Advantages of the FUE Technique:
Minimally Invasive: It does not require stitches and leaves minimal scars.
Natural Looking Results: Hair follicles are placed in accordance with the natural growth direction, thus achieving a natural hair appearance.
Fast Recovery: Patients can quickly return to their normal activities after FUE. The recovery process is usually fast and problem-free.
Use of a Larger Donor Area: FUE makes it possible to take hair follicles from different parts of the body other than the nape area.
What is DHI Hair Transplantation?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is one of the newest techniques in the world of hair transplantation and is considered a variation of the FUE method. In this method, the hair follicles are taken from the donor area and placed directly into the transplant area with the help of a special pen called the Choi Implanter Pen. DHI minimizes the time the roots spend outside after being taken, ensuring that the roots remain healthier and offering a faster recovery process.
Advantages of the DHI Technique:
No Shaving Required: In the DHI method, the area to be transplanted does not need to be shaved. This is a great advantage, especially for patients who do not want to cut their short hair.
High Root Adhesion Rate: DHI increases the root adhesion rate by reducing the time the roots spend outside after being taken from the donor area.
More Dense Hair Transplantation: DHI is an effective method especially in small areas where hair needs to be transplanted more densely.
Natural Looking Results: Since the hair roots are placed directly, at the right angle and depth, the results are extremely natural.
FUE and DHI: Which One Should You Choose?
When choosing between FUE and DHI, your hair loss condition, expectations and budget should be taken into consideration. FUE is an excellent option for hair transplantation in large areas and offers natural results. DHI is an ideal method for naturally thickening hair in smaller and denser areas.
Turkeyana directs you to contracted healthcare institutions with the most experienced surgeons in both techniques. Thus, your hair loss problem will be addressed in the best way and will help you determine which method is most suitable for you.

Comparison of FUE and DHI Techniques
1. Method:
FUE: Hair follicles are taken from the donor area using micro motor or manual tools and placed by opening holes in the area to be transplanted.
DHI: Immediately after the hair follicles are taken, direct transplantation is done with the Choi pen, which eliminates the need for opening holes.
2. Shaving Requirement:
FUE: The donor area usually needs to be completely shaved.
DHI: The recipient area may not need to be shaved, which provides a more natural look and a less noticeable appearance after the procedure.
3. Density:
FUE: Suitable for large areas, but may provide slightly lower density than DHI.
DHI: Provides higher hair density in small areas, which is especially advantageous in the hairline and narrow areas.
4. Healing Process:
FUE: Healing is seen in approximately 5-7 days. Minimal scars remain during the healing process.
DHI: DHI can provide faster healing than FUE. Hair loss may be less due to the short time the follicles spend outside.
5. Suitability:
FUE: Ideal for patients whose hair loss has spread over a larger area.
DHI: More suitable for patients who want to renew their hairline or have transplants done in smaller and denser areas.
Our patients from all over the world have the opportunity to discover Turkey both medically and touristically, while also gaining a renewed appearance.
