FUE vs DHI Hair Transplant Tijuana: Which Method is Best for You?

Escrito por Aydeth Olvera

When considering a hair transplant in Tijuana, one of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing between FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (outdated) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) or sapphire techniques. As an ISHRS-certified surgeon at The Restoration Room, I've performed over +200 successful transformations using both FUE + DHI methods. Let me help you understand which technique is right for your specific needs.

What is FUE Hair Transplant?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a specialized punch tool. At our Hospital Blue Medical Tower facility, we use advanced FUE techniques that leave no linear scar and offer faster healing times.

FUE Benefits:

  • No linear scarring

  • Faster recovery (5-7 days)

  • Can wear hair short after healing

  • Less post-operative discomfort

  • Suitable for all hair types, including Afro-textured hair

What is DHI Hair Implantation?

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses the same extraction method as FUE but differs in the implantation process. With DHI, we use specialized Lion Pen Implanters to place grafts directly into the recipient area without creating pre-made channels.

DHI Benefits:

  • More precise angle and direction control

  • Higher graft survival rate

  • Less handling of grafts

  • Denser hair placement possible

  • Minimal bleeding during procedure

FUE vs DHI: Its not about VS, they are the perfect combination

Why You Should Choose Them?

Choose FUE because:

  • You want a proven, time-tested technique

  • You prefer a slightly shorter procedure

  • You have a larger area to cover

  • Budget is a primary concern

Choose DHI because:

  • You want maximum hair density

  • You're covering a smaller, specific area

  • You prioritize the highest graft survival rate

  • You want the most advanced technique available
