Does a trichology perform DHI hair transplant?

DHI, or direct hair implantation, describes a method in which prepared follicles are placed directly into recipient areas with an implantation device. The method does not remove the need for medical assessment, careful donor planning, sterile technique, and follow-up. Trichology can contribute knowledge about hair growth, scalp disorders, and the pattern of loss, but the provider’s exact qualifications and role should be confirmed before treatment.

Have the scalp and donor area examined in person. Ask whether ongoing hair loss, inflammation, medication effects, or scarring could change the plan. Confirm who diagnoses you, who extracts and implants follicles, what medical training they hold, and where the procedure takes place. Discuss hairline design, density goals, recovery, washing instructions, and the plan for future thinning so your decision is based on a complete picture.

Before treatment, seek medical review for sudden shedding, painful or inflamed scalp, heavy scaling, sores, or patchy loss. Following implantation, contact the clinic about increasing redness, pus, fever, severe pain, marked swelling, or bleeding that persists. Urgent assessment is needed for breathing problems, faintness, or rapidly worsening swelling.

Ask whether DHI is suitable for your pattern of loss, how grafts will be protected, who will perform each technical step, and how the hairline will be designed. Clarify recovery milestones, possible visible changes during regrowth, follow-up arrangements, and what options remain if native hair continues to thin.
