Why is it important to sterilize the pens used on the scalp during DHI hair transplantation?
Choi implant pens are used in the DHI method. These pens directly touch the scalp. Non-sterile instruments can increase the risk of infection and prevent the attachment of the transplanted hair follicles. For this reason, disposable or sterilized pens should be used in every procedure.
Does the size of the hair affect the quality of transplantation during DHI hair transplantation?
Yes, shaved hair 1-2 mm in length is generally preferred in DHI method. Transplanting with very short or long hair can make it difficult to place the grafts. Therefore, the risk of error increases. Having the right length of hair both facilitates the operation and provides a more precise placement.
