DHI Technique Hair Transplantation
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is a hair transplantation that has become widespread especially after 2016. In this method, the hair follicles are extracted from the donor area by FUE method, and they are loaded into a pen-shaped tool and implanted into the desired area by using of this tool. By means of DHI pen-shaped tool, opening channel and inserting hair follicles can be performed at the same time. Thus, the waiting time for the hair follicles can be reduced.
Travel, your stay and aftercare
How long do I need to stay in Turkey after the procedure?
Plan for 3 days in Antalya for this procedure. A final check-up takes place before you fly home — you are only cleared to travel after it. Combined procedures can require a longer stay.
When can I fly after surgery?
You are cleared to fly home only after your final check-up — for this procedure typically after 3 days. Do not fly earlier, even if you feel fine: your doctor decides based on wound healing. You are given guidance for the flight.
When can I go back to work and exercise?
For a mainly desk-based job, expect around 3 days. Physically demanding work, sport, sauna and swimming take considerably longer and are cleared individually at your check-up. Going back to full activity too early is one of the most common reasons for a poorer result.
What happens if I have a complication after returning home?
Contact your coordinator straight away — the same person who looked after you in Antalya, by WhatsApp or phone. Send photos of the area; the assessment is made together with the doctor who operated on you. We then work out whether it can be treated where you live — we provide your surgical records and medical reports for that — or whether coming back to Antalya makes sense. For acute symptoms such as severe pain, fever, breathlessness or sudden swelling, go to your nearest emergency department first and tell us afterwards.
