Choi Pen (DHI) Technique
Choi Pen Technique also known as DHI (Direct Hair Implant) is the process of placing the hair follicles taken from the donor area with the help of special needles (implanters) in the less-dense area. FUE is the first method that comes to mind when it comes to hair transplantation with DHI, but there are a few noteworthy differences using Choi Pen in FUE method. Unlike the classic FUE, the DHI technique allows hair transplantation without shaving. Since the hair follicles are transplanted within 1-2 minutes after taking them from the donor area, in Choi technique, the hair follicles are not allowed to wait outside the body. It enables more intensive implanting.
