Ultra DHI Hair Transplant – A Natural Remedy for Hair Fall
Hair loss can emotionally hit a person and attach itself to the level of esteem and quality of life. Most men and women who look for baldness or undesired thinning out of hair feel compelled to find restoration ways that will be effective. However, hair loss remedy is not always a success with impulsively made decisions. Nevertheless, with innovation and development when it comes to hair restoration techniques; some (such as Ultra Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)) can be both entirely secure and non-invasive but milk out expert & ultrasmooth results.
At Care Well Medical Centre Delhi, this concept is taken a step further through our revolutionary DHI technique called Ultra DHI which can significantly enhance growth rates and maintain hairs for longer periods of time. Everything you wanted to know about ULTRA DHI; advantages of it supported with science, who is a candidate for it and Direct Hair Transplant vs Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). For instance, we will look into key studies and references.
What is DHI (Direct Hair Transplant)?
At the core of DHI is Follicular Unit Extraction, taking that a step further to usher in the latest hair transplant method. In here the approach focuses of reducing the amount of time hair follicles are exposed to environmental condition, which has proven significance for graft survival. Everything else which was not be on the scalp for more than four hours, dried up pretty well. The solution is toxic, it could partly make the cells of each graft lose and human cells unhealthy.
Studies indicate that this cellular damage occurs quickly, limiting the duration of these grafts. To achieve good outcomes in a transplant, the time spent outside of the body must be minimized.

DHI takes advantage of the fact that, in the DHI process used at Rejuvenate Hair Restoration, every graft is implanted from donor directly to recipient area with no handling, maximizing very high graft survival and growth potential. Ultra DHI in Care Well Medical Centre fine-tunes the process for speedier growth and long-lasting results.
Who is Eligible for DHI?
There are various usages of DHI, which includes:
- Androgens: Localized baldness Androgenic alopecia: frontal and/or vertex baldness in men or women hair loss.
- People with Alopecia: it fits alopecia a potent but common disease that leads to gradual, yet at times spontaneous loss of hair.
In adults over 25, when hair loss patterns are likely to be established, DHI tend to offer longer-lasting results.
You would positively try to vet each candidate with so much DHI being an ideal. A verified beautician/plastic surgeon/hair-transplant specialist must undertake this assessment.
This is going to be adjusted on a case by case basis, which the specialist will take cognizant of. This is made up of a receiver area, in adding to the receiver location another crucial issue for the success of DHI hair loss process and its 2 vital parts which is Dry Hair Loss Size & Donor fullness side by side.
How The Ultra DHI Treatment Works?
Ultra DHI is a multi-step procedure, where each step of this method has been crafted to ensure your graft survives and looks more dense and natural.
Preparation
Local anesthesia is done after sterilization of the donor area. Next, the area in which hair is being taken from, usually located on the back or sides of your scalp, is shaved down so that doctors can have easy access to those hair follicles.
Slit Creation
The recipient area will have tiny incisions, or “slits,” to receive the grafts. Each incision is made with a specially crafted blade that precisely matches the graft size. This is the step that keeps natural angles, depth and direction of hair can be placed. According to a study, the development of this technique has resulted in smaller slits being made, which reduces additional trauma to the scalp and makes for better natural alignment of each hair.
Extraction Phase
Follicles are removed from the donor area with a punch device that is 0.6–0.9 mm in diameter. Have grouped under based on the number of hairs from the extracted follicles.
Implantation Phase
On using the no-root-touch method, grafts are immediately placed in the recipient area after extraction. It has been scientifically proven to enhance graft survival and density by reducing handling and minimizing air exposure. DHI has been proven to preserve the vitality of grafts, budding an impressive 90% survival rate for each graft, as studies show that implanting them in a timely manner enhances cellular life.
The grafts are bandaged after the procedure for protection.
How DHI Differs from FUE
One of the key differences between DHI and classic Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is graft transit time. FUE allows for 3-5 hours of graft time outside of the body. Therefore, they need to be stored in different types of solutions to help retain them as cells. In sharp contrast, DHI further reduces this ectopic time to about 30 minutes, bypassing preservation solutions and improving graft viability. As per clinical studies, the shorter transit time associated with DHI can enhance graft success rates by as much as 20% relative to FUE.
The main difference between Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the process of extracting hair grafts and implanting method.
- Procedure Flow:
- Whereas FUE involves three independent stages: extraction of grafts, incisions on the scalp and implanting grafts. The extra carry-out time outside the body for each graft may prolong since every graft is harvested and stored individually.
- In DHI, the extraction and implantation are performed more or less at the same time. And every graft is immediately implanted post-extraction, minimizing the time each follicle remains outside of the human body. Such a short period may enhance the survivability of the graft.
- Tools and Technique:
- An FUE typically can require slits to be made in the scalp before the grafts are implanted into them.
- DHI employs a unique implantation device (like tweezers) that enables direct graft placement into the scalp, with unparalleled control of angle, depth and direction and minimal handling of follicles.
- Efficiency and Recovery:
- DHI is also a faster process with less downtime suited for quick recovery since it is non-invasive in nature.
- If a high number of grafts are needed, FUE can be time-consuming.
In summary: DHI provides a rapid process with better graft survival rates and accurate placement, which is why people prefer it to other methods of hair restoration. Both methods are effective, but one may be better than the other for any particular set of hair restoration needs.
Ultra DHI — A Case of a Patient from Care Well Medical Centre
In order to showcase the results of DHI, we bring you a case of a 30-year-old male patient who approached Care Well Medical Centre with hair loss in his crown area and receding hairline. After analysing the state of his hair loss, the doctor suggested an Ultra DHI procedure due to the high degree of coverage needed and continued precision required to recreate a natural line.
All of that was done in a separate session, with around 5 good numbers of grafts cast in one go for full coverage. The patient returned to regular activities after two days without visible pain and scarring. In six months, he had a thick tuft of hair over the transplanted parts, and after one year, he was able to grow an entire head of hair with continual growth in each graft with natural density. The patient was very satisfied with the outcome which resulted in a considerable increase of confidence.
Key Benefits of Ultra DHI
Here are the benefits of the Ultra DHI method at Care Well Medical Centre, supported by scientific data and patient case studies:
- Less Traumatic: Ultra DHI is less traumatic on the scalp, causing a small amount of bleeding.
- Graft Survival Rate: The graft survival rate is more than 90% due to less handling of graft and immediate implantation due to pre-surgical preparation.
- Natural Results: The angle, depth and direction of each graft are meticulously controlled to create a natural appearance.
- Fast Recovery: Most patients return to normal activity in two days or less following the procedure.
- Non-invasive quick session: The procedure takes about 6-7 hours in total, and you don’t need to go through multiple sessions.
- Long-lasting Results: The hair that is not susceptible to further loss and therefore gives you permanent results.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Direct Hair Implantation has a lower risk of complications compared to other surgical procedures. You will experience common and mild side effects such as slight swelling, redness, or tenderness at the surgical site; these usually last a few days. Infrequently patients can get infections that are treatable with antibiotics and good aftercare. Complications after DHI are fewer in number than other methods.
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is considered a safe technique, but some side effects can be observed temporarily:
- Mild pain or discomfort: Slight tenderness at the donor and recipient sites, which can be controlled with analgesics.
- Swelling: Usually occurs around the forehead and goes away within a week.
- Skin Care: A natural reaction of the skin that disappears in 5-7 days.
- SHOCK HAIR LOSS: Transplanted hair commonly sheds after 2 to 4 weeks but grows back in approximately three months.
- Infection: It is also very rare with good aftercare but it is possible to see a doctor if you notice redness, pus, or fever.
- Itching: Very normal while the scabs are lifting and your grafts must not be scratched!
- Numbness or Tingling: Temporary and resolves over weeks.
- Scarring: Very little as we use very sharp instruments & healing will leave only tiny blemishes.
How to Minimize Side Effects
- Adhere rigorously to post-operative instructions.
- Do not undertake any form of strenuous activity for one week.
- Use your prescribed medications and keep the scalp clean.
These side effects are mild and temporary. If symptoms do not overcome or become more severe, contact your doctor. With the proper care better results and an efficient recovery is guaranteed.

Grafts are taken out to store before implanting them in FUE, increasing time grafts are outside of the body. DHI, on the other hand, reduces this time frame by only implanting individual grafts after its been extracted, thus increasing the survival rates of each follicle while resulting in a process that is faster and aseptic.
DHI is ideal for men and women aged 25+ suffering from partial baldness, recession alopecia or other forms of alopecia. Candidates must possess acceptable donor hair on the scalp, beard, or chest.
No, DHI is comparably. The scalp is then anesthetized, so the patient does not feel discomfort with the entire process.
Typically, the complete Ultra DHI process requires 6-7 hr to finish, and enables graft placement of up to 4,000 INR to 6,000 INR consistently in one sitting.
You may notice sprouts in 3–4 months and expect to see complete results in about 9–12 months as the transplanted hair matures and grows fuller.
Most of the grafts survive, as DHI involves very little handling and is immediately implanted — unsurprisingly, survival rates exceed 90-95%.
The hair that’s transplanted itself is usually there for life and will have an immunity to the natural type of loss most new hair goes through. Ultra DHI method provides extra durability for implanted hair.
It is imperative that after DHI care guidelines are followed, the patient should refrain from heavy physical activities within the next 4 days, apply any direct topical treatments prescribed by Doctors and keep the scalp away from direct sunlight. Patients return to their normal activities in two days.
After a week you may begin donning soft hats. Do not wear a hard helmet or hat for 1 month so as to avoid any pressure on grafts.
There are few side effects, although some patients may have mild redness or swelling or tenderness that will typically resolve over a few days.
DHI is a cosmetic procedure, therefore it will not be covered by your medical insurance. Although, a lot of clinics such as Care Well Medical Centre have financing solutions with low-cost.
DHI costs higher than conventional methods such as FUE because it uses advanced technique and precision. The costs differ from clinic to clinic, based on the experience of the surgeon as well as on the number of grafts.
Yes, DHI is also used in beard transplantation, moustache hair restoration and eyebrow restoration with the same success as scalp hair.
