This method of graft implantation has become popular worldwide, especially in Far East Asia. The technique is known under different names, such as Choi implanter pen, hair implanter pen, hair transplant pen, and no-touch hair transplant. Dr. Hakan Doganay is a leading specialist in the <strong>implanter pen method<\/strong> in Turkey. He has been successfully transplanting hair with this technique since 2009.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Together with its popularity in our country, the method gained an incorrect name too. DHI is the initial letter of the clinic name in Greece \u2018Direct Hair Implant\u2019 which practices hair transplants by the pen. <strong>There is no such technique as Dhi<\/strong>.&nbsp; We realize that the term is inappropriate, although we will refer to it further because it is commonly used by society. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>From 2009 till today we have been achieving excellent results by the Dhi hair transplant method. Dhi has many advantages compared to <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/fue-hair-transplant\/\" target=\"_blank\">FUE hair transplant<\/a><\/strong>. &nbsp;Together with the popularity of the FUE harvesting, the Dhi method gained rapid demand too. However, it is worth remembering that Dhi hair transplant is not a special application of FUE. It was successfully used with FUT harvesting for a long time. Unfortunately, not all surgeons can succeed with the Dhi implanter pen because it requires detailed technical knowledge and experience. Comparatively high equipment cost also makes the method less attractive for many doctors in Turkey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy

You can find more information about grafts extraction on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/fue-hair-transplant\/\"> <strong>FUE<\/strong><\/a> hair transplant page.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As previously mentioned the implanter pen is a regular pen &#8211; spring-like looking tool. Its protection layer is made of Teflon that thrives sterilization resistance up to approximately 130-140 degrees. The pen consist of 5-6 interbedded systems. Needle tips are located at the very end of the tool. They look the same as syringe, however, their tip is vertical and slit. This helps to place grafts inside of the tip slits before implantation.&nbsp; To operate quick and synchronous 4-6 implanter pens are needed for a surgery. There are 3 stages of Dhi hair transplantation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a_Placement_of_Hair_Roots_Into_the_Pen\"><\/span>a) Placement of Hair Roots Into the Pen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hair follicles are swiftly placed one by one into the needle tip of the pen by doctor&#8217;s assistants. Touching graft roots is forbidden; the hair should be pulled out by forceps and slid carefully into a slot. Grafts should not be kept inside of dhi pen for a long time because they may get dry and die. If necessary, the isotonic spray is applied to moisten the pen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"b_Replacement_of_Empty_and_Filled_Dhi_Pen\"><\/span>b) Replacement of Empty and Filled Dhi Pen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To prevent any pinprick accidents full coordination between the doctor and the assistants is expected during the replacement of empty and filled pens. In other words, the doctor places an empty dhi pens with the needle pointed towards him, while the assistants locate filled pens perpendicularly. There should be a 30-40 cm distance between full and empty pens. Thus the synchronous operation is managed in Dhi hair transplant; moreover, neither doctor\u2019s nor assistants\u2019 fingers are injured by the needles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There is an anther way where the surgeon uses only a hand wrist while the arm is in a stable position. The an assistant takes away an empty pen placing a filled one instead between doctor\u2019s thumb point fingers. This makes the Dhi hair transplant surgery much faster. Besides, the doctor\u2019s hand is less tired due to reduced movements. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"C_Implantation_of_the_Grafts_Placed_in_the_Pen_by_the_Surgeon\"><\/span>C) Implantation of the Grafts Placed in the Pen by the Surgeon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Grafts should be placed in the pen needles. Then dhi pen is pointed to the hairless skin area at an appropriate angle; the skin is pierced by the needle tip. Once the pen top button is pushed, the hair is slid by a thin needle into the slit. Simultaneously, the spring system enables the needle to withdraw off the skin and come back to its start position. This is how hair implant surgery is done. It is important to have neck relaxed otherwise bleeding may increase due to vascular compression.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The doctor should operate with a pen easily. Dhi pen is placed between the thumb and index finger, the rest fingers (3rd, 4th, and 5th) assist additionally. This filled pen pierces the skin to implant the graft. The top button of the pen is pushed by the index finger (to slid and implant the root). Simultaneously the pen should be pulled out of the skin quickly when the graft is implanted. The doctor easily gets accustomed to this operation rhythm and the Dhi hair transplantation becomes an automatized procedure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dhi_Hair_Transplant_and_7_Know-How\"><\/span>Dhi Hair Transplant and 7 Know-How<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Particular tips helps to get a very good dhi results.

Here are the specifications of these needles:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>0,6 mm: <\/strong>is generally used for single graft <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/eyebrow-transplant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eyebrow transplant<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>0,8 mm: <\/strong>can be used to implant single or double follicles<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>1 mm: <\/strong>is used to implant 2-3-4 hair grafts<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pen producers paint the top of the pen with a specific color (green, red, blue, pink) which represents a certain needle tip diameter. This significantly simplifies our job as it helps to identify the pen immediately. Below you can see an example of sharp-tipped hair transplantation pens used in our country. The needle tips are 0.6, 0.8 and 1 mm. Our suppliers produce a variety of needles with the diameter up to 1,8 mm but we do not find appropriate using tips bigger than 1 mm in diameter for Fue hair transplant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/implanter-pen.jpg\" alt=\"implanter pen\" class=\"wp-image-25586\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On average, 700-1000 grafts can be implanted with a pen needle. However, this number varies because people have different skin elasticity. If the skin cambers and pop out the grafts during transplantation, needle tip must be changed. All in all, needle tip loses sharpness after every operation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-_Width_of_Needle_Slots\"><\/span>2- Width of Needle Slots <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A very tight slot can cause damage to the hair graft when transplanted, while a wide slot causes the decline of the graft before implantation starts. The diameter of slots must vary between 0,2 and 0,3 mm. In the picture below you can see 1 mm diameter needles in high resolution; they are produced by 3 different companies. The 1st needle has a wider slot and the hair root section inside of the needle is wide too (called bevel). In our opinion, this model is the most preferable in terms of safe hair transplant. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/hair-implanter.jpg\" alt=\"hair implanter\" class=\"wp-image-25587\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-_Length_of_Dhi_Pen_Needle\"><\/span>3- Length of Dhi Pen Needle <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One of the most important factors for hair implant is depth. Some dhi implanters have no depth control. Needle length should be adjusted according to patient&#8217;s hair in advance. Length must be adjusted to graft size.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The standard size of the pen needle is around 7mm. This length can be adjusted according to the graft size. If  bleeding is intensive, the needle length should be reduced. When the standard length 7mm is set to 6,5 or 6 mm, bleeding stops immediately. In opposite, if the needle size is too short, the graft may not be rooted properly and be declined. Finally, if the graft implanted too deep, there is a risk that the root does not grow; or the hair shape defects.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A mathematical ratio should be determined between the needle and the graft length. Needle size is to be 25-30% longer than graft size. An example application should be as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Graft size 6 mm \u2013 needle size is 8 mm (25% longer)<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Graft size 5 mm \u2013 needle size is 7 mm<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Graft size 4 mm \u2013 needle size is 6 mm (33% longer).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>An experienced doctor can easily adjust length in a few tries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-_Wire_Length_that_Pushes_Graft_Into_the_Skin\"><\/span>4- Wire Length that Pushes Graft Into the Skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This wire must not get over the Teflon spiral. If it comes out when the pen top is pushed or if it is easily visible, this means that the wire not only touches the graft\u2019s top but also contacts the hair itself. As a consequence root may be defected. The wire should not come to the surface. In the meantime, it must not be placed very high as well. The wire has to remain on the Teflon protector level. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/dhi_hair_transplantation.jpg\" alt=\"dhi hair implant\" class=\"wp-image-25589\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-_Needle_in_Skin_and_the_Depth_of_Implantation\"><\/span>5- Needle in Skin and the Depth of Implantation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There is no depth adjustment problem with stopper (depth control) implanter. The implanter pen needle without stopper should not be completely inserted into the skin. Implanting about 1 mm in is enough, otherwise, graft root ends up to be too deep in the skin. A lot of practice is required to get appropriate skills in dhi hair transplant method. Once the hair graft is placed into the skin the pen must be pulled off immediately. As far as we know, nobody practices depth controlled implanter pen in our country. To operate synchronically the surgeon must have sufficient experience. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are some consequences of deep grafts implantation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>a) Folliculitis and cyst: <\/strong>Small inflammations and sebaceous glands called cysts can occur at the hair roots.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>b) Curly hair growth <\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>c) Recess at the hair roots<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>d) Intensive bleeding after dhi surgery<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>e) The decrease in hair growth volume<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As a result, the regulation of proper depth for the Dhi hair transplant is one of the most significant stages of the operation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-_Needle_Direction_in_Hair_Implantation\"><\/span>6- Needle Direction in Hair Implantation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to our experience, the needle slot must be directed down (towards the skin) to achieve good hair transplant result. While a sharp part of the needle is inserted into the skin, the needle angle gets a slight horizontal position. The depth can be controlled better this way as well. Hair grafts also merge perfectly with fatty skin tissue and capillary vessels. Its another advantage is easy depth control in scarred and vertex areas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-_Skin_Streching\"><\/span>7- Skin Streching<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dhi implanter cause pressure when the needle enters the skin. This pressure can cause popping out of the other hair grafts. To decrease the risk to a minimum, the doctor or assistants should stretch skin. The assistant pulls the skin in general and the doctor stretches a particular parts of the recipient area. Stretching is especially important in frontal zones. Additionally, <strong>stretching helps to decrease hair implantation angle and achieve a more horizontal direction of the hair.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unexpected_Situations_that_May_Occur_after_Dhi_Hair_Transplant\"><\/span>Unexpected Situations that May Occur after Dhi Hair Transplant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dhi hair transplant is not that easy as explained in theory. Sometimes, surgery goes like a knife through the butter but can result in bad hair transplant. We will give a few examples and solutions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Bleeding<\/strong>: <strong>If bleeding is more extensive than expected, patient\u2019s sitting position should be checked. <\/strong>Bleeding increases if the neck is under the pressure. Once the neck position is changed, bleeding stops. Sejant position under 45 degrees is ideal for hairline transplant and 60-70 degrees are more favorable for crown hair implantation. We also mentioned above that the needle length can cause bleeding.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Popping<\/strong>: During hair implant, earlier transplanted hair <strong>grafts located nearly should not pop out due to the pressure<\/strong>.&nbsp;It is the least desired situation&nbsp;in Dhi hair transplantation. When roots start popping out, the needles should be replaced immediately. The less elastic skin is, the more hair popping chances are. This problem is commonly met among elder people, those who actively sunbathed or have scars. Skin must be stretched carefully during implantation to prevent the popping. Additionally, the needle has to firstly slit the skin softly, then be injected from a certain angle. In this case, the needle is inserted deeper into the skin and the pressure is reduced.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dhi_Hair_Transplant_on_Scar\"><\/span>Dhi Hair Transplant on Scar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Among people willing to undergo the Dhi hair transplant are those, who have scars from the FUT method or gone though accidents. <strong>Hair transplantation on injured area is different from regular implantation<\/strong>. This is because the skin is rougher and more pressure is needed to insert the needle. <strong>We find it more appropriate to make a channel for the graft by needle tip first on the scarred skin.<\/strong> Both, hypodermic needle or the empty pen needle can be implemented. Special attention must be paid to opening a proper channel suitable to hair grafts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once channels are made, grafts are implanted by the classic Dhi hair transplant method. All these methods help to prevent graft popping during the surgery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_Dhi_hair_transplantation_give\"><\/span><strong>What does Dhi hair transplantation give?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Increase the density of rare hair by <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/unshaven-hair-transplant\/\" target=\"_blank\">unshaven hair transplant<\/a> <\/strong>method.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>By Dhi best <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/hair-transplant-from-beard-to-head\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Beard hair transplant<\/strong> <\/a>results are achieved.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Dhi implanter is the ideal technique for whisker and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/beard-transplant\/\" target=\"_blank\">beard hair transplantation<\/a>, we give detailed information on relevant pages.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>The best hair transplant method <strong><a class=\"rank-math-link\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/hair-transplant-in-women\/\" target=\"_blank\">for women  <\/a><\/strong>which does not require shaving.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>It is certainly the best option for eyebrow transplantation.

All of us ever been put ourselves on a drip at least once in life. Have you ever saw any sign of it after recovery?

There is also no need for isotonic liquid or saline serum to swell the haired skin. Therefore swelling after the hair transplant &nbsp;is very little.<\/p>\r\n<p>*Ultimately, there is no necrosis-like effect due to adrenaline injection in the Dhi hair transplantation.<br>*Comparing to other methods, the shock popping rate is considerably low&nbsp;(the reason why adrenaline is not used).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_Dhi_Hair_Transplant_More_Expensive_Thank_FUE\"><\/span>Is the Dhi Hair Transplant More Expensive Thank FUE?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hair transplant with pen implanter is more expensive than other methods, and the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/hair-transplant-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\">cost<\/a> of the equipment is higher as well. Here is a list of reasons:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The needle of the pen implanter is single-use. It absolutely must not be used in another patient. Even if you try to re-use the needle, it is not possible because it loses sharpness after some amount of implanted grafts. Approximately 8-10 needles are required to transplant around 2500 grafts. The average cost of a needle is 25 USD and for one procedure at least 8 needles are needed. The total price of these 8 needles is 200 USD. On the other hand, in channel method (FUE) blades which cost few cents are used. In addition to that, a pen implanter costs around 150 USD without a needle. 4-6 pens are needed for one surgery (implanter pens are not disposable). <strong>The Dhi transplant is more expensive compared to the FUE<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Qualified doctor\u2019s assistants are required <\/strong>for the Dhi hair transplantation. In many cases, the reason for unsuccessful outcomes is the lack of the technical knowledge and experience of a doctor and his assisting personnel. Assistant placing grafts into the pen should be highly qualified, which impacts the total surgery cost.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>If we are not mistaking, some clinics offer a transplant of 5000-6000 grafts per day with the classic method. However, transplantation of more than 2000-2500 grafts with pen implanter at once is not appropriate. Therefore, implanting 5000-600 grafts may take up to 3 days.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Based on the reasons listed above, it is normal that the Dhi hair transplantation is a little more expensive than the classical method.
