What should you know about a DHI Pro hair transplant?

Words such as Pro may describe a clinic, service package, clinician experience or marketing category; they do not by themselves identify a separate medical procedure. Ask what happens during extraction, storage and implantation, and whether a pen-like implanter is used throughout or only for a particular stage.

Hair restoration is most useful when the reason for loss is clear. [Male Pattern Hair Loss](/conditions/androgenetic-alopecia/) and [Female Pattern Hair Loss](/conditions/female-pattern-hair-loss/) require different planning in some patients, while [Traction Alopecia](/conditions/traction-alopecia/) may involve a history of repeated pulling. A transplant cannot correct every cause of shedding.

Ask for the clinician's full name and role, the diagnosis, the donor-area findings, the proposed hairline and a plain-language description of every stage. Confirm who provides local anaesthesia, who makes recipient sites, who places grafts and who handles follow-up. Be cautious when the consultation focuses on a package before examining your scalp.

Take photographs of your current hair from consistent angles and bring a list of medicines and prior procedures. Discuss medical options that may protect existing hair and compare the plan with general [Hair Transplant](/treatments/hair-restoration/hair-transplant/) care. If you prefer a non-surgical appearance change, [Scalp Micropigmentation](/treatments/hair-restoration/scalp-micropigmentation/) may be part of the conversation.

After treatment, report escalating pain, spreading redness, pus, fever, significant bleeding or swelling that interferes with vision or breathing. Seek urgent care for fainting, breathing difficulty or severe allergic symptoms. A clinician should review persistent numbness, scarring, darkening skin or poor healing rather than relying only on photographs.

Ask what Pro means at this clinic, which clinician makes the medical decisions, who performs each stage, how donor follicles are selected, how existing hair will be protected, and what support is available after the procedure.
