Here, we explain the differences and which option is best suited to different types of hair loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have researched hair transplants, you have probably come across the terms Sapphire FUE and DHI. Both methods are used in modern hair clinics today, but they do not work in exactly the same way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this does not necessarily mean that one method is better than the other.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best solution depends on your hair loss, donor area and the desired result. Therefore, each client is assessed individually before the treatment is planned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Sapphire FUE?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sapphire FUE is the most commonly used method in modern hair transplantation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the treatment, hair follicles are extracted individually from the donor area, typically at the back of the head, and then placed in areas where the hair has become thinner or has been lost.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The method makes it possible to transplant a large number of hair follicles with high precision and is therefore often suitable for larger areas of hair loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Sapphire FUE<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Suitable for larger areas<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>High density<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Natural results<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Short healing period<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The most commonly used method<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is DHI?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DHI stands for <strong>Direct Hair Implantation<\/strong> and is an advanced implantation method. With DHI, a special Choi Pen is used to implant the hair follicles directly into the scalp with high precision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The method gives the hair specialist additional control over the placement of hair follicles between existing hairs. DHI is particularly suitable for a second treatment when greater density is desired, as well as for smaller or thinner areas where more hairs need to be implanted with maximum precision. DHI can also be combined with the Sapphire FUE method to achieve the best possible result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of DHI<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Extra precision<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Can be combined with Sapphire FUE<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Possibility of high density<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Suitable for smaller areas<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>In some cases, only limited shaving is necessary<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difference lies in the implantation process itself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Sapphire FUE, the channels are created first, after which the hair follicles are placed. With DHI, the hair follicles are implanted directly using the Choi Pen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DHI gives the surgeon greater control over each individual hair, while Sapphire FUE is often the most efficient solution for larger areas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DHI typically requires more time and is therefore often slightly more expensive than Sapphire FUE.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which method is best for you?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single method that is best for everyone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some people, Sapphire FUE will be the obvious solution. For others, DHI will provide the best opportunity to achieve greater density. In some cases, a combination of Sapphire FUE and DHI is the best solution for achieving the desired density and precision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important factor is therefore not which method you choose, but that the treatment is planned according to your hair situation, donor area and long-term goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At H\u00e5reksperten, we always assess each client individually and recommend the method, or combination of methods, that is best suited to you and provides the best conditions for achieving a natural result.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sapphire FUE and DHI are the two most commonly used methods in hair transplantation.
