Using a specialized micromotor with a tiny punch, the surgeon and their team carefully extract individual hair follicles one by one.

With <\/span><b>DHI<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, because the surgeon is working with the precise tip of the implanter pen, it is often possible to perform an <\/span><b>&#8220;unshaven transplant.&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This means the practitioner can carefully implant new grafts between existing long hairs without needing to shave the recipient area. This makes DHI an ideal choice for patients wishing to add density to thinning areas and for many female patients who want to maintain their current hairstyle during the process.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87cba41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"87cba41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Factor 2: Graft Handling and Survival Rate<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-811efb9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"811efb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a topic of much expert debate. Proponents of <\/span><b>DHI<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> argue that it offers a potential advantage in graft survival. Because the follicles are protected within the Choi Pen and are implanted moments after extraction, they spend less time outside the body and are handled less with forceps, which could theoretically lead to a slightly higher survival rate. Proponents of <\/span><b>Sapphire FUE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> argue that with a highly skilled and efficient team, the time grafts spend outside the body is already minimal and carefully controlled (kept in a special solution), making any difference in survival rates negligible.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b0d3be elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7b0d3be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Factor 3: Density and Control<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37b02d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37b02d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both techniques are excellent for achieving high density.
