What is DHI hair transplantation?
DHI hair transplantation, also known as direct hair implantation, is one of the most beneficial hair transplantation methods due to its short recovery time and the possibility of performing a large number of hair transplants in a single session. This method aims to fill the bald spots without damaging the existing hair and healthy roots in the skin.
