For many men, the beard is an aesthetic and masculine element, like the hair on the head, because a beautiful, strong beard gives the man a masculine aura. Self-confidence is strengthened, especially since an individual beard hairstyle underlines the character and type. Regardless of trends or ideals of beauty – beard hair has always been one of the basic needs of men.

The DHI Beard Transplant (short for Direct Hair Implantation) describes an innovative and new technique of the beard transplantation, which enables easier beard transplant than FUE technique. By DHI Technique a CHOI Implanter is used, which is a pen-like device with a hollow needle at the tip of it, connected with a tube and a plunger. During DHI beard transplant the grafts extracted from the donor region are first gently loaded inside the hollow needle of Choi implanter pen. Each graft is then transplanted directly into the desired area of the beard. The Choi pen is inserted at an appropriate angle into the beard area and implants the follicle by pressing down on the plunger. The direction of each transplanted graft can be easily adjusted with the patient’s own beard hair angle. Depending on the type and thickness of the patient’s hair follicle, there are CHOI pens that vary in size. Various Choi pens can be used during the beard transplant.

DHI CHOI PEN or Sapphire FUE Technique 

– By FUE beard transplant, the channels should be opened first. Very small cutters are used to open the channels. Then the grafts are inserted into these opened channels using a tool called a pen set. The number of channels is same as the number of grafts planned to be transplanted.
With the DHI beard transplant, the channel opening and the beard transplant are carried out at the same time thanks to the CHOI pen.

– By FUE beard transplant, these channels must be slightly larger than the grafts so that the hair follicles (grafts) can be placed in these channels. For comparison, the channels opened by DHI technique are the same size as grafts; because the CHOI Implanter opens the channel and put the grafts inside the beard area at the same time which means smaller channels than Sapphire FUE are opened by DHI Technique. That is why there is no loss of space with DHI CHOI PEN and a higher hair density can be achieved than Sapphire FUE beard transplant. The FUE method can add 45 to 60 grafts per square centimeter, while DHI can achieve 80 to 90 grafts per square centimeter.

– DHI beard transplant is less aggressive than sapphire FUE beard transplant.

Further advantages of the DHI CHOI PEN beard transplant

– Implantation on the beard area: The CHOI PEN Implanter used can open smaller channels and hair can be implanted without any problem and without damaging the natural beard hair.

– More natural transplanting: DHI method is the most suitable option for beard transplant. The direction of each beard hair can be conveniently linked to patient’s own beard hair. In this way, a more natural image can be obtained on the beard area. This achieves an aesthetically optimized and natural-looking result.

– With the DHI CHOI PEN method, the hair follicles have better survival rates.

– Faster recovery: The channels, which are as large as the grafts, allow healing to be achieved in less time.

– Minimal scarring occurs because DHI Technique is less aggressive than Sapphire FUE.

– The patient experiences less bleeding during the operation and there is less swelling after the operation. The patient can quickly return to his daily routine.
