Hair-transplant marketing sometimes compares FUE and DHI as if every part of the procedures were completely different.
Is DHI better than FUE?
Not automatically. FUE commonly describes follicular-unit extraction, while DHI often refers to an implantation approach or tool. Technique choice should follow the case.
What matters most?
Extraction, graft handling, site creation and implantation all affect the procedure.
- Donor harvesting
- Implantation method
- Graft handling
- Hairline design
- Recipient density
- Team experience
Why the answer can be different for each patient
A specific implantation device does not remove the need for good donor management and hairline planning.
What should you ask during consultation?
- How are grafts extracted?
- How are recipient sites planned?
- Who performs each stage?
- Why is this technique being recommended?
Technique labels do not guarantee outcome; surgical planning and donor preservation are critical.
DentGen approach
