Hair transplant technology has advanced significantly, and the two most popular methods — FUE and DHI — each offer distinct advantages.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to the recipient area. It's the most widely performed technique worldwide.
Pros: Minimal scarring, shorter recovery, can transplant large numbers of grafts (3,000-5,000) in one session.
Best for: Patients needing extensive coverage, those who wear short hairstyles.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)
DHI uses a specialized Choi implanter pen to extract and implant follicles simultaneously. This allows for more precise angle and depth control.
Pros: Higher density possible, no need to create recipient channels first, slightly faster healing.
Best for: Patients wanting maximum density, hairline refinement, beard or eyebrow transplants.
Recovery Timeline
Both methods have similar recovery times: 7-10 days for initial healing, with full results visible at 12-18 months as transplanted hairs grow through their natural cycle.
Cost at Clinic Group
FUE starts from €1,500 and DHI from €2,000, depending on the number of grafts needed. Both include consultation, the procedure, PRP treatment, medications, and follow-up.
