FUE vs DHI: Which Hair Transplant Technique Is Right for You?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) are both gold-standard hair restoration methods. FUE extracts follicles individually with a micro-punch, while DHI uses a Choi implanter pen to place grafts directly — skipping the channel-creation step. FUE is better suited for larger sessions and patients who want to keep their hair very short. DHI offers slightly higher density and faster healing in the recipient area. At Firma Clinic, our surgeons assess your hair type, scalp laxity and target density before recommending the best approach.
