DHI, or Direct Hair Implantation, is an advanced hair restoration technique where each graft is implanted directly into the scalp using a specialised Choi Implanter Pen, without the need for prior channel creation.
This allows the clinical team to control the angle, depth, and direction of each graft during placement. The result can be a dense, natural-looking hairline.
At UniquEra, DHI is recommended only after assessing your hair loss pattern, donor area, and long-term goals. If another technique is better suited to your case, we will explain why before you book.
The cost of a DHI hair transplant depends on your clinical assessment, not simply the number of grafts. Before providing a quotation, our clinical team evaluates your hair loss, donor area, and the treatment approach most suitable for your case.
At UniquEra, you’ll receive a fixed, all-inclusive package price before you book, with no hidden charges or per-graft pricing.
Transparent pricing. No hidden fees. Custom quotes available.
Every eligible DHI procedure can be enhanced with regenerative support — PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and stem-cell-based solutions — to:
Both DHI and Sapphire FUE produce natural-looking results when performed by an experienced clinical team. The right choice depends on your hair loss pattern, donor area, treatment goals, and the number of grafts required.

At UniquEra, patients don’t choose the technique before their consultation. After assessing your donor area, hair loss pattern, and long-term goals, our clinical team recommends the approach best suited to your case. A healthy donor area is essential. We use trichoscopy (scalp microscopy) to evaluate donor follicle quality before recommending any procedure.
