Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is a specialised hair transplant technique that focuses on the controlled placement of individual follicular units using an implantation device. Unlike conventional implantation methods, DHI allows follicles to be implanted directly into the scalp without creating prior recipient incisions.
DHI at Esmée is offered as a precision-led surgical option for selected candidates where controlled placement, angle accuracy, and density refinement are clinically advantageous. The technique is integrated into a medically guided treatment plan that prioritises donor preservation, natural aesthetics, and long-term hair strategy.

Hair loss pattern, donor density, and long-term progression are evaluated. Hairline design and density are planned conservatively

Follicular units are extracted individually from the donor area, typically using FUE techniques.

Extracted follicles are implanted directly into the recipient area using a specialised implanter device, allowing precise placement.

Implanted grafts are reviewed to ensure alignment with planned angles, direction, and density.

Scalp condition and graft stability are assessed before discharge.
