DHI worth the extra cost over regular FUE?

PostOpGuy

I'm getting quotes for both regular FUE and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). The DHI is almost double the price. The clinic claims DHI has better survival rate, denser packing, and faster healing. Is this just marketing or is DHI really superior to regular FUE? Has anyone done DHI and felt it was worth the extra cost?

I had DHI and honestly don't think it was worth the extra cost. The results are similar to regular FUE but you pay almost double. The main advantage is faster healing and less scabbing, but the final result is the same. Save your money and go with regular FUE from a good surgeon.

DHI is just marketing hype. The survival rate claims are not backed by solid studies. I had regular FUE and my results are excellent. The key is surgeon skill, not the technique. Many top surgeons still prefer traditional FUE because it's proven and reliable.

In my experience, I chose DHI over regular FUE because I wanted a more precise and natural-looking result. The main difference for me was the cost - DHI was definitely more expensive than regular FUE. However, I felt that the extra cost was worth it for the advanced technology and expertise involved. One concern I had was that the recovery time for DHI was a bit longer compared to regular FUE, but the final outcome was fantastic. So, if you're willing to invest a bit more and have the patience for a slightly longer recovery, I would say DHI is worth the extra cost for a more seamless and natural result.

Hey there! In my experience, I have tried both DHI and regular FUE procedures. DHI definitely comes with a higher price tag compared to regular FUE. I found that DHI provided a more precise and faster procedure, as the grafts are implanted simultaneously as they are extracted. This resulted in less trauma to my scalp and quicker recovery time. However, I did have some concerns about the cost of DHI compared to regular FUE. It really comes down to your budget and how much you value the potential benefits of DHI over regular FUE. I would recommend consulting with a few different clinics to get a better sense of the costs and benefits of each procedure for your specific needs. Ultimately, the decision is up to you and what you feel comfortable with. Good luck on your hair transplant journey!
