Technique guide

Understand FUE, DHI and Sapphire FUE

A technique name alone does not guarantee a result. The right method depends on hair-loss pattern, donor capacity, graft target, hair caliber and team experience.

Common hair transplant techniques

The main difference is often not graft extraction, but how recipient sites are prepared and grafts are placed.

FUE

Large areas and flexible planning

Grafts are extracted individually and placed into pre-opened recipient sites.

DHI

Density and controlled placement

Grafts are placed with an implanter pen; a no-shave option may suit selected cases.

Sapphire FUE

Recipient-site planning

An FUE approach using sapphire blades during recipient-site creation.

Female hair transplant

Diagnosis-first approach

The cause of loss should be investigated and diffuse thinning assessed carefully.

How is a technique selected?

01
Diagnosis and examination
The hair-loss pattern and risk of progression are assessed.
02
Donor analysis
Density, caliber and a safe extraction limit are measured.
03
Design and target
A natural hairline, coverage area and long-term plan are defined together.

Be cautious with marketing labels

Terms such as robotic, premium or gold may not describe a standardized medical technique. Who performs each step and under which protocol matters more than the device name.

Ask clinics better questions

Compare procedure stages and team responsibility beyond the technique label.
