Treatment Overview
The Ultra-Short Hairstyle DHI Hair Transplant is a next-generation technique specially developed for patients who prefer or maintain an ultra-short haircut (0.5–3 mm) and still want natural, full coverage. Using Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) technology, Korean surgeons can extract and implant follicles precisely — without visible scarring or density disruption in the donor zone.
Unlike traditional methods that require longer donor hair, this advanced approach uses micro-DHI pens and high-magnification systems to safely harvest grafts from a very short donor area while ensuring an even, invisible finish. Korea’s DHI centers lead the world in this innovation, offering minimal downtime, natural results, and total discretion.
Purpose & Benefits
The purpose of Ultra-Short DHI is to allow natural hair restoration for those who keep their hair very short — including buzz-cut styles — without showing any trace of surgery.
Key Benefits
- Perfect for hair lengths under 3 mm
- No visible donor scarring or density gaps
- High-density, natural results even in close-cut styles
- Minimal trauma and rapid recovery
- Permanent, lifelong regrowth
- Ideal for both men and women maintaining cropped hair
Ideal Candidates
You may be an ideal candidate for Ultra-Short Hairstyle DHI if you:
- Prefer to wear your hair extremely short (0.5–3 mm)
- Have mild to moderate thinning or temple recession
- Want a scar-free and discreet procedure
- Have limited donor area or tight scalp elasticity
- Need quick recovery and minimal downtime
Possible Risks & Complications
This is a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure. Temporary effects can include:
- Mild redness or swelling for 1–2 days
- Short-term shedding (shock loss phase)
- Slight sensitivity around donor or recipient sites
Korean clinics minimize these with PRP therapy, regenerative scalp serums, and microscopic DHI control systems.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean surgeons employ advanced micro-DHI systems designed specifically for short donor zones, ensuring no scarring and uniform density.
Advanced Techniques Used in Korea
- Micro DHI Implanter Pens (0.6–0.7 mm): Enables ultra-fine extraction and implantation.
- Digital Density Mapping: Balances graft spacing to maintain donor uniformity.
- No-Shave DHI Method: Allows treatment with hair as short as 0.5 mm.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: Boosts graft survival and healing.
- Regenerative Growth-Factor Boosters: Strengthen follicles for denser regrowth.
Korean hair-design specialists combine medical precision with aesthetic engineering, ensuring realistic results even under bright light or short styles.
Treatment Process in Korea
- Consultation & Hair Design: Scalp analysis and short-style density mapping.
- Extraction: Micro-punches remove follicles with minimal scalp disruption.
- Implantation: Grafts are implanted directly via DHI pens — no channels needed.
- PRP / Growth-Factor Application: Stimulates rapid healing and graft stability.
- Aftercare: Cooling therapy and scalp protection protocols provided.
International patients benefit from private procedure rooms, multilingual care, and luxury recovery facilities for total comfort and discretion.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is fast and simple:
- Mild redness subsides in 2–3 days
- Return to work in 2–4 days
- Shampooing after 3 days
- Avoid shaving or trimming for 10–14 days
- Early regrowth in 3–4 months
- Full results within 10–12 months
Korean clinics provide laser scalp therapy and nutrient-boosting care kits to optimize regrowth and texture.
