Advanced FUE vs DHI Hair Transplant – Which Is Better?

Introduction

Hair loss can affect your confidence and appearance, but advanced hair restoration techniques are making it easier than ever to regain a natural look. Among the most popular and effective options today are Advanced FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). If you’re considering a hair transplant in Chennai, it’s important to know how these two methods differ and which one may be right for you.

What is Advanced FUE Hair Transplant?

Advanced FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant method where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and implanted into thinning or bald areas.

Key Features:

• • Uses micro-motor punches (0.7 – 1 mm)
  • Minimal scarring and faster healing
  • Allows large number of grafts in one session 
  • Allows fully customized hairline design

  • 90 – 95% graft survival rate with proper care

Why FUE is Better Than Other Techniques

While techniques like DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) are available in some clinics, FUE offers a proven balance of quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness. At DermisCare, we focus exclusively on Advanced FUE because:

Key Features:

                     FUE offers excellent density and natural-looking results
                   It is less expensive than DHI but delivers comparable (and often better) outcomes when done by experts
                   The procedure is gentle on the scalp, leading to quick recovery
                   It allows flexibility in hairline design and coverage of larger areas in a single session

Which One is Right for You?

                Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why does DermisCare recommend FUE over DHI?
Because FUE offers excellent results, is more affordable, and allows flexibility for larger sessions, making it ideal for most patients.

2. How long is the recovery for FUE?
Most patients resume normal activities within 2–3 days, with full healing in about 7–10 days.

3. Is FUE painful?
No — we use local anesthesia to make the procedure completely comfortable.

4. When will I see results?
Initial hair growth begins in 3–4 months, with visible improvements by 6–8 months. Full results appear within 12 months.

5. Is FUE permanent?
Yes. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the hormone that causes hair loss, so the results are permanent.
