Which specialist performs DHI hair transplant?

DHI, or direct hair implantation, involves removing follicular units from a donor area and placing them into planned recipient sites using an implanter device. A qualified doctor should assess the cause and pattern of hair loss, donor supply, scalp health, and the design of the hairline. Depending on the clinic, trained assistants may help with preparation or handling grafts, while the doctor performs or supervises the medical parts of the procedure. The exact division of work should be explained before consent.

Ask for the operating doctor’s name, medical credentials, hair-transplant training, and experience with your type of hair and scalp. Request a consultation that includes examination of the donor area rather than relying on photographs alone. Discuss whether ongoing hair loss needs medical treatment, how many grafts may be appropriate, the likely recovery stages, and who will provide follow-up. Tell the team about scalp disease, medicines, allergies, smoking, and previous procedures.

Before treatment, seek assessment for sudden shedding, painful scalp inflammation, sores, or unexplained patchy loss because the cause may need treatment first. After implantation, contact the clinic for increasing redness, worsening pain, pus, fever, heavy bleeding, or swelling that interferes with breathing or vision. Do not assume every change is part of recovery; the treating team can distinguish expected healing from a problem that needs review.

Ask: Who will extract and implant the follicles? Who supervises the procedure? Is DHI suitable for my diagnosis and donor area? What result can my existing hair support? What is the wound-care plan, and how will later hair loss be managed?
