DHI - Direct Hair Implantation Procedure

Question

Few articles had advocated the merits of the Direct Hair Implantation “DHI” where hair follicles are implanted directly to the thinning area using the so called the DHI Implanter I have underwent one FUE/FUT that was performed by a renowned Turkish Surgeon. I am very happy with the outcome of such process so far On day 1, I knew that one more procedure will be needed for the crown & to increase the frontal density. Is DHI a procedure to consider as final touchup? Donor area is Rich

The term DHI, which stands for Direct Hair Implantation, is another name for the sharp implantation technique. Its distinctive feature is that it employs hair implanter pens that create the recipient sites and simultaneously transplant the grafts, instead of creating premade incisions.
