Enhanced DHI Hair Transplant in Albania
Enhanced DHI: our advanced DHI technique for a natural, high-precision result
Enhanced DHI is an advanced version of the DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique, designed to offer a high level of precision while the grafts are implanted.
The procedure uses a Choi Implanter Pen with a finer tip, which allows the doctor to work with greater precision during the insertion of the follicles.
The aim is a harmonious distribution of the grafts and a result that is as natural as possible, respecting the direction, angle and density of the existing hair.

How Enhanced DHI works
Enhanced DHI is carried out in several stages:
- Assessment and design. The doctor analyses the donor and recipient areas and defines the hairline design and the distribution of the grafts.
- Follicle extraction. Grafts are extracted one by one from the donor area, usually the back and sides of the scalp.
- Graft preparation. The follicles are checked and prepared for implantation.
- Implantation with the Choi Pen. The grafts are inserted directly into the recipient area with the Choi Implanter Pen, allowing precise control of direction and angle.
- Density distribution. The grafts are placed according to the plan set by the doctor, with particular attention to the hairline and to the areas that need more coverage.
FUE Sapphire, DHI and Enhanced DHI compared
FUE Sapphire
The FUE Sapphire technique involves extracting the follicles one by one and then creating the channels in the recipient area with sapphire-tipped instruments.
DHI
In DHI the grafts are implanted with a Choi Implanter Pen, allowing precise control during insertion.
Enhanced DHI
Enhanced DHI uses a more advanced version of the DHI system, with a finer Choi Pen tip and an approach geared towards maximum precision during implantation.
| Technique | How the grafts are placed | Main characteristic |
|---|---|---|
| FUE Sapphire | Channels opened with a sapphire blade, then insertion | Suited to large sessions |
| DHI | Direct implantation with the Choi Implanter Pen | Control of direction and angle |
| Enhanced DHI | Direct implantation with a finer-tip Choi Pen | Maximum precision, hairline and density |
The technique is not chosen simply on the basis of the number of grafts: the doctor individually assesses the donor area, the degree of thinning, the quality of the hair and the patient's goals.
The main advantages of Enhanced DHI
- High precision during implantation
- Control of the direction and angle of the follicles
- The possibility of working with particular care in the areas that need more density
- Attention to the naturalness of the hairline
- A technique tailored to the patient's situation
- Use of instruments designed specifically for direct implantation
The goal is not simply to add hair, but to create a harmonious, proportionate distribution of the grafts while respecting the existing hair as much as possible.
Who is a candidate, and how many grafts are needed?
Enhanced DHI can be suitable for different types of hair loss and thinning, but suitability must be assessed by the doctor.
The number of grafts is not set in a standard way for every patient. Based on the photographs and the medical assessment, the doctor considers:
- the size of the area to be treated
- the desired density
- the quality and availability of the donor area
- the characteristics of the hair
- any previous transplants
- the hairline, frontal zone, mid-scalp and vertex/crown
In many cases around 4,000–4,500 grafts may be needed, while some patients need more or fewer.
The priority is always to use the donor area responsibly and to avoid over-extraction.
The stages of the procedure
- Medical consultation. The doctor assesses the case and defines the surgical plan.
- Hairline design. A natural hairline, proportionate to the features of the face, is designed.
- Local anaesthesia. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia.
- Graft extraction. The follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area.
- Graft preparation. The grafts are checked and prepared for implantation.
- Enhanced DHI implantation. The grafts are placed directly in the recipient area with the Choi Implanter Pen, following the plan set by the doctor.
- Post-operative care and follow-up. After the procedure the patient receives all the instructions needed to care for the donor and recipient areas, together with our post-operative support programme.
Our goal
Every transplant is planned individually. There is no number of grafts or technique that is identical for everyone.
The goal of Enhanced DHI is to combine precision, naturalness and a harmonious distribution of density, respecting the individual characteristics of each patient.
To receive a personalised assessment, simply send us a few clear photographs of the front, profile, top and back of the head. Our doctor can then assess the situation and indicate the most appropriate technique and number of grafts. The price ranges of our packages are on the hair transplant cost in Albania page.
