Which is the Best Hair Transplant Method?

According to these, the best and most preferred method will be the DHI technique. In this method, the healing process is faster compared to others and patients can resume their daily lives in a short time. DHI hair transplantation is more preferred especially for regional tightening and small areas. In some people, more permanent and useful results are achieved by applying DHI method and FUE technique together. For this, the procedure must be approved by the doctor.
When Do the Results of DHI Hair Transplantation Start to Appear?
The results of successfully applied DHI hair transplantation may vary from person to person. On average, healing is completed between one week and ten days and the transplanted hair falls out. Within 15 days, the scalp returns to its previous appearance and rests for three months, after which new hair begins to grow slowly. Hair growth increases by 10 percent every month. In the ninth month after transplantation, almost 90 percent of the transplanted hair grows and it takes a month for all of them to grow. After the application, the patient returns to his/her normal life in an average of two days and can continue his/her life without any problems during the period when the hair will grow again.

- Recovery Process After DHI Hair Transplant
Generally, the healing process after DHI hair transplantation progresses rapidly in patients. Within a few months after the operation, changes such as pain, soreness, scabbing, shedding occur and new hair begins to form at the end of the process. After the transplantation, the patient returns to his/her old life within a few days. During the healing of the scalp and the emergence of new hair, there is no negative impact on the patient’s life. In order for the healing period to be positive due to the structure of the DHI technique, the patient must fully comply with the directives given by the doctor. Thus, the healing process will end in a healthy way and the patient will achieve the hair appearance he/she dreams of without any problems.

After the procedure, the patient can return to his/her daily life after about two to three days. However, in this process, the patient must fully comply with the recommendations given by the doctor. Otherwise, the healing period will progress in an unhealthy way and the possibility of obtaining the desired results will decrease.
