FDI / DHI Technique: Hair Transplant in 3 steps

The doctor begins the follicle extraction by strategically and safely delimiting the donor area, located at the sides and back of the scalp.

The donor area is divided into a grid for dispersed harvesting. In this way, the extraction sites will be imperceptible and greater harmony of hair density is achieved in the donor area.

For this first stage, the doctor uses an e-puncher, an instrument consisting of a disposable cylindrical blade of extra-small calibre, which allows the follicle to be extracted precisely and completely. This optimises the use of the extracted follicles for subsequent implantation. The openings are minimal and practically imperceptible after the 2nd day.

In a second phase, the nurse separates, selects, organises and classifies the individually extracted hair follicles according to the number of hairs each one contains, the average being 2.2 hairs per follicle.

Using the most advanced preservation technique, the classified follicles are placed in a chilled solution (HTS). This stabilises the follicle's metabolism, preserving its full integrity. Throughout our procedure, we avoid anything that might represent any degree of aggression to the follicle. We dispense with any dissection of follicles, avoiding the use of a microscope so as not to expose them to harmful factors such as temperature differences and direct light.

The follicle implantation stage of the FDI / DHI technique follows a unique and meticulous protocol. Follicles containing only a single hair are injected by the doctor along the hairline, giving the transplant a natural appearance.

Multi-hair follicles, on the other hand, are injected into the inner areas to provide greater density. This innovative method requires no prior incision: the injector carries the follicle and inserts it to the exact measure of its size, preventing swelling and visible scarring on the scalp, consequences that occur with other techniques such as FUT and FUE.
