Is it possible to have both DHI and FUE hair transplants at the same time?

Yes, it's possible to perform both Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplants on the same patient at the same time. Both DHI and FUE are techniques that are used in hair transplantation, and each has its own set of advantages and considerations. While DHI involves the direct implantation of individual hair follicles using a special pen-like device (after extraction of the graft using a micro-motor), FUE involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor area and then transplanting them one by one to the recipient area using a forceps.Some patients may be advised to use a combination of both techniques in order to achieve the best possible results, depending on the specific pattern of hair loss and the goals they have. This approach allows the surgeon to take advantage of the benefits of each technique to improve the outcome of the procedure. Hair transplantation may be a relatively straightforward procedure, but only a qualified and experienced doctor will be able to evaluate your individual case and recommend a course of action that best suits your needs.

However, there are several factors that determine your eligibility for a combination of FUE and DHI.


  • DHI is known for implantation without damaging existing hair, while FUE is suitable for implantation on a completely bald scalp. This combined technique is suitable for patients who have a complete pattern of baldness in one area of the scalp and still have some hair in another area of the scalp. FUE is used to treat total baldness, while DHI is used to treat areas where some hair remains on the scalp as a native hair.
  • To determine eligibility for a combination of FUE and DHI, it is best to consult with a qualified hair transplant specialist. They can evaluate the individual's specific situation and provide personalized recommendations based on their unique needs and goals.
