The Advantages of the FDI / DHI technique

With our protocol (FDI / DHI), the follicles are implanted by injection, eliminating the need to make holes beforehand, lessening the trauma of the procedure and reducing the amount of anaesthesia and medication.

This implantation technique allows a faster recovery, since there is no swelling (oedema), making it possible to return to daily activities the very next day and avoiding the need to “use up your holidays” to recover from a hair transplant.

At Attica, hair transplants are performed exclusively by doctors and nurses. These professionals are trained and certified in hair restoration and are subject to continuous audits. In our clinics, only the doctor works on the patient's head.

Given the specialisation of our teams, it is possible to perform a hair transplant without the need to shave the hair, ensuring greater discretion for the procedure.

The FDI / DHI technique uses extra-small-calibre instruments, which makes all the difference in terms of marks and scars after the procedure.

In the extraction phase, the e-puncher we use leaves no marks, allowing faster healing.

In the implantation phase, we use a follicle injector. This high-precision instrument gives the doctor full control over the depth, direction and angle of each follicle. This is what ensures that the hair keeps the desired orientation.

With this injector, the specialist doctor performs the implantation to the exact measure of the follicle, without causing fibrosis, marks or scars. It also allows the follicles to be implanted close to one another, producing a denser and more natural aesthetic result.

At Attica, our mission is not only to meet the patient's current needs but also to safeguard their possible future needs.

We believe it is our duty to offer the highest follicular survival rate through a less destructive extraction from the donor area. Therefore, with us, you will never be advised to undergo a hair transplant with excessive extraction.

At Attica, patient safety comes first, which is why the instruments used on the patient are disposable, with no need for sterilisation. At the end of the session, the patient witnesses their destruction.

The FDI / DHI technique protocol requires the follicles to be preserved in a solution (HTS) that ensures their survival throughout the entire process.

Furthermore, in Attica hair transplants, we avoid anything that might represent possible aggression to the follicle. This is why we do not perform follicle dissection and also avoid using a microscope. In this way, we protect the follicles from exposure to harmful factors such as light or temperature differences.
