Aura Medical Clinic offers DHI hair transplantation in Tirana for patients seeking an individual hair restoration plan. The technique aims to provide highly precise direct implantation, control over angle and direction, a natural appearance, increased density, minimal scarring and faster recovery.
What is DHI?
DHI, or direct hair implantation, is an approach to placing follicular units in the recipient area. Grafts are implanted according to the agreed plan for the hairline, direction and distribution.
DHI describes the implantation stage. The method of collecting follicles from the donor area is a separate part of the plan and is explained during the consultation.
Who may be suitable?
Assessment for DHI takes into account:
- the cause and pattern of hair loss;
- the quality and supply of the donor area;
- the area where implantation is required;
- existing hair and the expected progression of hair loss;
- goals for the hairline, direction and density;
- medical history and expectations.
The technique is recommended only after these factors have been assessed together.
How the procedure works
The process begins with a consultation, examination of the scalp and planning of the donor and recipient areas. After the follicular units have been collected and prepared, the grafts are placed using the DHI approach according to the individual plan. Instructions on protecting the area and follow-up checks are provided at the end.
Each step is organised to preserve the grafts and control the direction of implantation. The number of grafts and extent of the procedure depend on the case.
Recovery and care
Temporary tenderness, swelling, scabs or redness may occur after DHI. Patients receive specific instructions on washing, sleeping, activity, protecting the grafts and check-ups. Recovery varies according to the extent of the procedure and individual response.
Results
The aim is a hairline and distribution that suit the patient’s features. The result depends on the donor area, graft quality, the plan, healing and the progression of hair loss. Growth develops gradually and is assessed during follow-up.
New growth usually begins to become visible from the third month. It continues to develop gradually over the following months, and the final result is assessed at around month 12.
DHI cost
The cost is determined after the consultation. It depends on the area, complexity, planned number of grafts or sessions and the services included in the plan.
Frequently asked questions
Is DHI the same as FUE?
No. DHI describes the implantation approach, while FUE describes the individual extraction of follicular units.
Does DHI leave scars?
Aura describes the technique as offering minimal scarring, but any procedure may leave scars that vary with extraction and healing.
Does DHI guarantee a particular density?
No. Achievable density depends on the donor supply, the area and the individual plan.
