FUE, DHI and BHT hair transplants abroad

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique has revolutionised the world of hair surgery by eliminating the main drawback of previous hair transplant techniques: the linear scar. With FUE, the extraction of the hair follicule no longer required to bear a lifelong a scar as stigma of the surgery (even if the scar of a FUT is thin). This is the so-called "Scarless" technique. This method uses punches (cylindrical blades) to isolate the hair root directly in the patient's scalp, and extract the follicles that produce the hair. The size of these punches (0.7 to 0.9 mm in diameter) is so small that the skin closes in a few hours and almost no visible traces remain on the skin.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is a refinement of the FUE method that changes how grafts are placed into the scalp. While extraction follows the same follicular unit extraction process as standard FUE, the implantation phase uses a specialised pen-like instrument to insert each graft directly.DHI employs the Choï implanter, a device developed in 1991 by Dr Choï in South Korea. This tool creates the recipient site and deposits the follicle in one movement, reducing the time each graft spends outside the body. Though the combined action might suggest a faster procedure, loading each graft into the implanter takes roughly as long as the time saved by merging the two steps. The technique works best with straight hair and suits patients seeking minimal handling of grafts during placement.

Beard transplantation is an aesthetic procedure that improves the density and appearance of beards in men. Whether for aesthetic reasons or to fill in bald areas, beard transplantation offers a natural and lasting solution.

Hair transplantation abroad offers two distinct models: procedures led by medical technicians and those directed by qualified doctors at every stage.When a doctor oversees the entire process, they personally handle the most delicate phases—extracting follicles, creating recipient sites, and mapping the hairline. This hands-on involvement ensures precision that reflects years of medical training.The difference between a doctor-led procedure and a technician-driven one is not merely administrative. It shapes the level of individualised care, the complexity of cases that can be treated, and ultimately the naturalness of the outcome.
