This allows precise control over depth, angle, and direction at the time of placement of hair to achieve maximum accuracy. DHI is the most preferred technique for a dense hairline.

Patients with successful FUE Hair Transplant Procedure
DHI is an advanced version of FUE with more precision in the implantation process. In DHI, the time between extracting the follicles and implanting them into the scalp is shorter, as grafts are placed side by side immediately on the scalp. The best technique depends on the hair loss pattern and density goals.
The follicles that have been transplanted are taken from resistant areas of the donor, which generally results in long-lasting, natural-looking hair growth.
It is done under local anaesthesia, so it is almost painless. Mild soreness may occur temporarily.
In many cases, only the donor area is trimmed. Depending on the graft and treatment area requirements, partial shaving options can also be discussed.
As for hair wash, the clinic provides an aftercare guide and usually starts within a couple of days.
