THE PROCEDURE
What is DHI hair transplant?
A Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) hair transplant is an advanced procedure that restores hair growth by implanting healthy hair follicles directly into areas affected by thinning or baldness. The result is a fuller, natural-looking hairline and improved hair density that complements your facial features.
Unlike non-surgical hair loss treatments, a DHI hair transplant provides a permanent solution by using your own hair follicles. The specialised implantation technique allows precise control over the angle, direction, and depth of each graft, making it particularly suitable for restoring the hairline, increasing density, and treating men and women with pattern hair loss.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every DHI hair transplant is tailored to your hair type, pattern of hair loss, and desired outcome. Our experienced hair transplant specialists use advanced DHI techniques to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results while prioritising patient comfort, safety, and the exceptional value and care that have made Turkey a leading destination for hair restoration.

SUITABILITY
Are you a candidate for DHI hair transplant?
A DHI hair transplant may be right for you if you:
Are experiencing thinning hair, a receding hairline, or pattern baldness
Have sufficient healthy donor hair for transplantation
Want a permanent, natural-looking solution to hair loss
Are looking for precise hairline restoration or increased hair density
Are in good general health and a non-smoker, or able to stop before surgery
Have realistic expectations about the results and recovery process
Candidacy is always confirmed after a medical review of your hair loss pattern, donor area, medical history, and photographs. If a DHI hair transplant is not the most suitable option, we’ll honestly recommend an alternative treatment based on your hair characteristics and desired outcome.

RECOVERY
DHI hair transplant recovery timeline
Days 1–3: Mild redness, swelling, and small scabs around the implanted grafts are normal. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, and it’s important to avoid touching or washing the treated area unless advised by your surgeon.
Days 4–7: The scalp continues to heal, and most scabs gradually fall away. Light daily activities can usually be resumed, and most patients are able to fly home after 2–3 days, subject to their surgeon’s approval.
Weeks 2–8: The transplanted hairs typically shed as part of the normal healing process (shock loss). This is expected, while the implanted follicles remain healthy beneath the skin.
Months 3–12: New hair growth gradually begins from around 3–4 months, becoming thicker and denser over time. Most patients see significant improvement by 9–12 months, with final results continuing to develop for up to 18 months.
SAFETY FIRST
Risks & safety
A DHI hair transplant is a safe and well-established procedure, but like any surgery, it carries some risks, which we discuss openly during your consultation. These can include swelling, redness, temporary numbness, scabbing, itching, minor bleeding, infection, folliculitis, or uneven hair growth. In rare cases, some implanted grafts may not survive, resulting in a lower-than-expected hair density.
We minimise these risks through a comprehensive pre-operative assessment, advanced DHI techniques, and detailed aftercare with 24/7 support throughout your stay. Your specialist will explain your individual risk profile and provide personalised guidance to help ensure the best possible outcome.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is a DHI hair transplant?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced hair restoration technique in which individual hair follicles are implanted directly into the scalp using a specialised implanter pen. This allows precise control over the angle, depth, and direction of each hair.
How is DHI different from FUE?
Both procedures use individually extracted hair follicles. With DHI, the follicles are implanted directly using a Choi implanter pen without first creating recipient incisions, allowing for greater precision and potentially higher hair density in selected cases.
Is a DHI hair transplant permanent?
Yes. The transplanted hair follicles are typically resistant to pattern hair loss, making the results long-lasting. However, your existing natural hair may continue to thin over time.
When will I see the results?
The transplanted hairs usually shed within the first few weeks, which is a normal part of the healing process. New hair growth typically begins after 3–4 months, with noticeable improvement by 9–12 months and final results developing over 12–18 months.
Is the procedure painful?
No. DHI is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Mild soreness or tightness afterwards is normal and usually resolves within a few days.
Who is a good candidate for DHI?
DHI is suitable for many men and women with thinning hair, a receding hairline, or pattern baldness who have sufficient healthy donor hair. It is particularly effective for patients seeking precise hairline design or increased density.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey?
Most patients stay for 2–3 days, allowing time for the procedure, post-operative checks, and aftercare before returning home.
When can I wash my hair?
Your specialist will provide detailed washing instructions. The first wash is usually performed or supervised a few days after the procedure, after which you can continue gentle washing at home.
Will I need to shave my head?
This depends on the treatment area and your hair characteristics. While many DHI procedures require shaving the donor area, some patients may be suitable for partially shaved or unshaven techniques.
Will I need more than one DHI procedure?
Many patients achieve their desired results with a single session. However, those with extensive hair loss or progressive thinning may benefit from a second procedure in the future to increase density or treat additional areas.
