Does DHI require shaving the head?

DHI is often the preferred method for unshaven transplants because the Choi pen can place grafts between existing long hairs without needing a full shave.

Which method is more painful during recovery?

Can I get 4000 grafts with DHI in one day?

DHI is a slower process and usually limited to about 2,500 to 3,000 grafts per session. For larger counts FUE or a multi day DHI session is required.
