PolishOn the day of the procedure, both the donor and recipient areas are numbed with local anesthesia to ensure a completely painless experience. The hair in the donor zone is trimmed short for better visibility, and graft extraction then begins.
Hair loss is a very personal experience, which is why its solution should also be individualized. At Vatanmed, we understand that each patient’s journey is unique, which is why we offer personalized techniques such as DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). Unlike other hair transplant methods that involve multiple steps between extraction and implantation, DHI streamlines the entire process, allowing hair follicles to be implanted directly into the scalp using the specialized Choi implanter tool. This streamlined approach provides greater control, more natural density, and a shorter healing time, provided it is used on suitable candidates and performed by experienced specialists.
Konsultacja OnlineDHI is an advanced form of FUE hair transplantation, developed to increase precision during the implantation stage. In the classic FUE method, the procedure involves a separate step of creating micro-channels before placing the grafts into the scalp. While this is an effective and still widely used technique, the DHI method was developed to reduce the time grafts spend outside the body and to minimize tissue trauma during implantation.
The Choi implanter plays a key role in this technique. Originally developed in Korea for surgical applications, the Choi pen is a pen-shaped device with a hollow needle at the tip. Each harvested hair follicle is carefully loaded into the implanter by qualified medical staff. The surgeon then inserts the tip into the recipient area and implants the graft in a single motion, simultaneously controlling the depth, angle, and direction of each hair’s growth.
The principle behind this technique is simple: preserve the viability of the grafts, maintain natural hair growth patterns, and eliminate the need for pre-made incisions. It is a method that requires high technical skill and aesthetic sensibility, areas in which Vatanmed surgeons have advanced and specialized expertise.
As with any surgical procedure, proper preparation is crucial. Before performing a DHI hair transplant, our team at Vatanmed conducts a comprehensive consultation. This includes a scalp analysis, review of your medical history, and a detailed discussion of your expectations.
During the consultation, we assess whether the donor area has sufficient density to allow for an effective transplant. If DHI is the right choice for you, we develop a personalized plan that takes into account facial proportions, hair growth direction, and natural hair density.
On the day of the procedure, both the donor and recipient areas are numbed with local anesthesia to ensure a completely painless experience. The hair in the donor zone is trimmed short for better visibility, and graft extraction then begins.
Similar to the FUE method, hair follicles are removed one by one using a micromotor, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. The key difference appears in the next step. Instead of placing the grafts into containers and later inserting them into pre-made channels, each hair follicle is immediately loaded into the Choi implanter.
Once loaded, the surgeon begins direct implantation. The implanter gently inserts the graft into the scalp at a precisely chosen angle and depth accurately replicating the natural hair growth direction. Since there’s no need to create channels beforehand, the entire process is cleaner, faster, and more controlled.
This level of precision is especially important when designing the hairline, temple areas, or beard region, where each follicle must be placed at a very specific angle to achieve a natural look. At Vatanmed, we treat every graft like the final brushstroke on a portrait because that’s exactly what it is.
The Choi implanter is a groundbreaking medical tool that has revolutionized modern hair transplantation. Its unique design allows for direct implantation of hair follicles with high precision and minimal scalp trauma. By combining channel creation and graft placement in a single motion, it ensures a shorter procedure time and exceptionally natural results.
With full control over the angle and depth of each graft, the results are dense, aesthetically pleasing, and perfectly tailored to the individual characteristics of the patient.
As a key instrument of the advanced DHI technique, the Choi implanter also allows for transplant procedures without shaving, making it an excellent choice, especially for women.
Reduced tissue damage, faster recovery, and maximum graft survival make the Choi implanter unmatched in effectiveness.
Each hair is implanted like a work of art because true perfection lies in the details.
Thanks to the minimally invasive nature of the DHI method, the recovery process is usually gentler than with other techniques. Patients may experience slight redness or swelling during the first few days, but these symptoms typically subside within a week.
Unlike traditional methods, very few scabs or crusts form, and since no pre-made incisions are required, the scalp heals faster. You can expect:
Shedding of transplanted hair (“shock shedding”) occurs during the 2–4 week period — this is a natural phase.
The appearance of the first new hairs around the 3rd month,
Visible improvement by the 6th month,
And full results within 9–12 months.
During the postoperative period, you will receive detailed instructions on washing your hair, protecting the grafts, and avoiding excessive strain. Activities such as swimming, sauna use, gym workouts, or wearing tight headgear should be limited for at least 2–3 weeks.
At Vatanmed, you are never alone after the procedure. Our post-care team maintains regular contact, answers your questions, and supports your recovery process from day one up to the twelfth month.
Choosing the right clinic is just as important as selecting the proper technique. At Vatanmed, we don’t believe in a “one technique fits all” approach. We believe in personalized solutions based on science, experience, and transparency.
If the DHI method is right for you, you will experience a procedure in which each graft is placed with full awareness, aesthetic sensibility, and meticulous attention to detail — precisely in line with the Vatanmed philosophy.

I highly recommend the clinic in Warsawa. A professional approach from the very beginning to the end of the procedure, as well as care and follow-up contact afterward. I am 4 months after the transplant and my confidence has returned to the level it was when I had a nice, full, and dense hairline. After a bit of patience, the hair has grown and will continue to grow. I can definitely recommend both the procedure and the clinic.

The results exceeded my expectations the hair looks completely natural, and I receive lots of positive comments from people around me.
I underwent the procedure at VATANMED at the beginning of July 2025. The procedure lasted about 6 hours, and throughout that time I received full care from the clinic staff. Overall, I rate the procedure, the post-procedure care, and the contact with the clinic positively. The price of the procedure is very attractive compared to the competition. Nearly three weeks after the procedure, everything looks good :) I recommend it.
I wholeheartedly recommend Vatanmed Warsaw! From the very beginning, I felt I was in good hands. The service is at the highest level — professional, polite, and always ready to help. Every stage of the procedure was explained to me in detail, and the hair transplant itself went smoothly and without any problems.
I have already had my second hair transplant procedure, which was performed at the beginning of January. I remember both procedures very positively. The staff is kind and helpful. The specialist was highly involved in the hair transplant. Unfortunately, I still need to wait a few months for the final results. Greetings to the entire team and thank you for a smoothly performed procedure.
My experience with Vatanmed Clinic from the very first visit was truly excellent. The staff in both Warsaw and Wrocław rose to the occasion. I immediately received a professional consultation where all my questions were answered. I was also informed in detail about the next steps.
