DHI stands for “Direct Hair Implantation.” In this method, hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area and placed directly into the prepared recipient area using a specialized implantation pen.

The main stages of DHI hair transplantation include:

• Donor area evaluation: The density and suitability of the area from which the hair follicles will be taken are assessed.
• Hair follicle extraction: Suitable hair follicles are individually collected from the donor area.
• Hairline planning: The hairline is designed by taking into account the patient’s facial structure, existing hair, and individual characteristics.
• Determining the implantation area: Areas with thinning or hair loss are evaluated.
• Direct placement of hair follicles: The prepared hair follicles are placed into the planned areas using a specialized implantation pen.
• Planning the direction and density of implantation: The direction and placement of the hair follicles are planned individually to achieve the greatest possible harmony with the existing hair.

In DHI treatment, the number of grafts is not the only factor considered. Hairline design, the direction of follicle placement, harmony with existing hair, and preservation of the donor area are also evaluated together.

At Arvinda, we perform a comprehensive evaluation before DHI hair transplantation to understand the patient’s hair structure and the characteristics of their hair loss.

During the initial stage, the distribution of hair loss, condition of the scalp, existing hair density, and donor area are evaluated. The patient’s expectations are also an important part of the planning process.

Based on this evaluation, the following are planned individually:

• Suitability of the DHI method for the patient
• Areas to receive hair transplantation
• Availability and capacity of the donor area
• Position and design of the hairline
• Implantation density
• Direction of hair follicle placement
• Procedure and follow-up process

At Arvinda, our aim is to provide a treatment process tailored to the patient’s existing hair structure and individual needs rather than applying the same standard hair transplantation plan to every patient.

For natural-looking hair transplantation planning, simply filling areas with hair loss or thinning is not sufficient. The hairline, facial proportions, direction of existing hair, characteristics of the donor area, and hair density should all be evaluated together.

In particular, hairline design, the direction of hair follicle placement, and implantation density vary from person to person.

For this reason, at Arvinda, we plan DHI treatment together with a personalized evaluation process. By taking into account the patient’s existing hair structure and expectations, we aim to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

At Arvinda, we approach the DHI hair transplantation process for international patients not merely as a procedure-focused service, but as a healthcare journey planned comprehensively from beginning to end.
