FUE or DHI? Which hair transplant method suits you

FUE and DHI both harvest follicles one by one from the donor area. The difference is in the second half of the operation: how the grafts go into the recipient area.

When FUE is the better choice

FUE lets the team place a large number of grafts in one session, so it is usually the first option for wide areas of thinning.

Which one is right for you

Frequently asked questions

Is DHI better than FUE?
Neither is better in general. FUE suits large areas; DHI suits dense packing in smaller areas.
Is recovery different?
No. With both methods most patients return to normal life within 7–10 days.
Can I have DHI without shaving?
In many cases yes, especially when the area to cover is small.
