    Some providers state that DHI does not require incisions33%Stated by 33% of the providers we surveyed. Including Estevitalya, Eldi Health & Beauty, World Plast Hair Center. prior to implantation. The implanter pen still makes an incision as it places each graft; what these clinics mean is that no separate channel is cut first.

    A minority of providers emphasize that DHI allows for higher precision in follicle placement11%Stated by 11% of the providers we surveyed. Including Eldi Health & Beauty., potentially leading to more aesthetically pleasing results. They also note that local anesthesia is used11%Stated by 11% of the providers we surveyed.

Some clinics claim that DHI results are permanent for life11%Stated by 11% of the providers we surveyed. Including Forever Clinica., though this may not account for all variables affecting hair retention.

    There are conflicting claims regarding safety. A minority describe DHI as a completely risk-free method11%Stated by 11% of the providers we surveyed. Including Forever Clinica., and some assert that no surgical application is performed11%Stated by 11% of the providers we surveyed. Including NIMCLINIC. during the DHI procedure. Neither statement is accurate. DHI is surgery: follicles are cut out of the donor area and an implanter pen makes an incision for every graft. Infection, folliculitis, bleeding, scarring, numbness and poor graft growth are all documented after transplant surgery, which is why other clinics say only that DHI reduces the risk of complications.

    Talk to a doctor or a qualified transplant surgeon before booking, and ask who performs each step.
