Treatment Overview
DHI with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Adjunct Therapy is a next-generation hair restoration approach that combines Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) with regenerative plasma therapy.
This dual method uses the Choi Implanter Pen to directly implant individual hair follicles while enriching the scalp with platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s own blood.
The result is faster healing, stronger graft survival, and thicker regrowth — a hallmark of Korea’s advanced regenerative aesthetic medicine.
Purpose & Benefits
The purpose of combining PRP with DHI is to enhance the success and quality of the hair transplant by naturally stimulating tissue repair and new hair growth.
Key benefits include:
- Accelerated recovery and reduced swelling
- Increased graft survival (up to 95%)
- Stronger, thicker regrowth due to growth factors
- Healthier scalp and improved blood circulation
- Long-lasting, natural hair density
Ideal Candidates
DHI with PRP is ideal for:
- Men and women seeking a natural, regenerative hair transplant
- Patients with weak or thinning hair follicles
- Individuals with scalp inflammation or poor healing capacity
- Those wanting faster recovery and denser results
- People preferring non-synthetic, biological healing enhancements
Possible Risks & Complications
The DHI + PRP combination is extremely safe, as PRP uses the patient’s own blood.
However, temporary effects may include:
- Mild scalp redness or tenderness at injection sites
- Temporary swelling that subsides in 24–48 hours
- Minor sensitivity around donor or recipient areas
Korean clinics use sterile, medical-grade PRP systems and cooling therapies to ensure comfort and optimal healing.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korea’s DHI with PRP integrates cutting-edge implantation precision with biological regenerative science for superior results.
Key technologies include:
- Choi Implanter Pens (0.6–0.8 mm) for direct follicle placement
- PRP Centrifugation Systems for pure, high-concentration plasma extraction
- Micromotor Extraction Tools for minimally invasive follicle harvesting
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for graft activation
- 3D Hairline Mapping Software for customized, natural results
These advanced systems make Korea a global leader in regenerative hair restoration.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step 1 – Consultation & Analysis:
3D scalp analysis and density mapping to design the target area and number of grafts.
Step 2 – Blood Collection for PRP:
A small sample of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to isolate growth-rich plasma.
Step 3 – Follicle Extraction:
Healthy hair follicles are extracted individually from the donor area using micro-punches.
Step 4 – Direct Implantation:
Each graft is implanted immediately with Choi Implanter Pens to ensure natural angles and density.
Step 5 – PRP Injection & Healing Therapy:
PRP is injected into the scalp and applied topically to boost healing and strengthen grafts.
The full procedure typically lasts 5–7 hours, depending on the number of grafts.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is faster and more comfortable than standard DHI procedures thanks to PRP’s regenerative properties. Most patients return to work within 2–3 days.
After-care guidelines:
- Avoid touching or washing the scalp for 48 hours
- Use mild shampoo after 3 days
- Avoid direct sunlight, exercise, or sweating for 1 week
- Follow up with PRP booster sessions every 4–6 weeks (recommended)
PRP reduces redness and swelling, helping the scalp heal naturally within a few days.
Results & Longevity
Hair growth begins at 3–4 months, with full density visible by 10–12 months.
Because PRP enhances blood flow and tissue repair, grafts grow stronger and faster, producing thicker and more natural hair.
Results are long-lasting, with improved scalp health and reduced risk of future thinning.
