Is hair loss affecting your confidence? You’re not alone. Hair implants have become the most effective treatment for hair loss, with results so natural no one will know you had a procedure. In this guide, we’ll explain everything—from how it works to what you should consider before deciding.

What Is a Hair Implant and Why Is It So Popular?

A hair transplant or hair implant) is a minimally invasive procedure that extracts resistant hair follicles from your donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) and implants them into thinning or bald areas. The key? These follicles retain their genetic resistance, ensuring permanent, natural growth.

Hair Transplant Techniques: FUE vs. DHI

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

One of the most widely used techniques. Hair follicles are extracted one by one and implanted directly into the desired areas. It's minimally invasive with fast recovery.

  • Ideal for: Patients wanting to avoid visible scars

  • Process: Follicles are individually extracted using a specialized micro-motor and implanted directly into target areas

  • Advantage: Minimally invasive with quick recovery (can resume basic activities within 48 hours)

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)

This technique uses a specialized tool that implants follicles directly without needing to create skin channels first, reducing recovery time and improving precision.

  • Ideal for: Delicate areas like hairlines or eyebrows

  • Process: Uses a Choi implanter to place follicles without requiring preliminary incisions

  • Advantage: Greater precision and density for small treatment areas
