DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) and Sapphire hair transplant are two different hair transplant techniques, but they are often mentioned together because both are newer and advanced hair transplant methods that use specialized tools to create the hair follicle incisions.
DHI hair transplant involves extracting hair follicles from the donor area, usually at the back or sides of the head, using a specialized tool called a Choi implanter pen. The Choi implanter pen has a hollow needle that is used to extract the hair follicles and create the recipient sites for transplanting the hair follicles. The extracted hair follicles are then immediately implanted into the recipient sites, without the need for creating separate incisions or channels. This technique allows for a high degree of control over the angle, depth, and direction of the implanted hair follicles, which can result in more natural-looking results.
Sapphire hair transplant, on the other hand, is a variation of the traditional FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, where the incisions for the hair follicles are created using a specialized blade made of sapphire. The sapphire blade is known for its sharpness and precision, which allows for the creation of smaller and more precise incisions. This can result in less damage to the surrounding hair follicles and a faster healing time. The use of sapphire blades can also lead to a higher success rate, with more hair follicles surviving and producing new hair growth.
In summary, DHI and Sapphire hair transplant are two advanced hair transplant techniques that use specialized tools to create the hair follicle incisions. DHI involves using a Choi implanter pen to extract and implant the hair follicles, while Sapphire hair transplant is a variation of the traditional FUE technique that uses sapphire blades for creating the incisions. Both techniques can produce natural-looking results with minimal scarring and a short recovery time.
