What is SDHI Hair Transplant?
SDHI hair transplant is a cutting-edge hair restoration technique that combines the advantages of Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) with Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). This method utilizes ultra-fine, sapphire-tipped blades to create precise incisions in the scalp, minimizing tissue trauma and promoting faster healing. The extracted hair follicles are then implanted directly into the recipient area using a specialized implanter pen, allowing for meticulous control over the angle, depth, and direction of each graft.
SDHI hair transplant is renowned for producing natural-looking hairlines and dense coverage with minimal scarring. It is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or baldness, offering a minimally invasive solution with rapid recovery and long-lasting results.
Who is SDHI Hair Transplant for?
SDHI Hair Transplant is best suited for individuals seeking a minimally invasive and highly precise solution for hair restoration. This treatment is particularly recommended for:
- Men and women experiencing mild to moderate hair loss, especially in localized areas such as the hairline, temples, or crown.
- Patients who desire natural-looking results with minimal scarring and a quick recovery period.
- Individuals with sufficient donor hair at the back or sides of the scalp to ensure successful graft extraction.
- Those who have realistic expectations regarding the outcome and wish to enhance hair density or correct thinning patches.
SDHI (Sapphire Direct Hair Implantation) is ideal for those prioritizing precision, comfort, and a natural appearance in their hair restoration journey.
How is SDHI Hair Transplant done?
SDHI (Sapphire Direct Hair Implantation) Hair Transplant is an advanced hair restoration technique that combines the precision of sapphire blades with the direct implantation method. This approach offers minimally invasive, natural-looking results and is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair loss.
-
Comprehensive Consultation and Hair Analysis
The process begins with a thorough consultation where your hair loss pattern, scalp condition, and donor area are assessed. The surgeon discusses your expectations and creates a personalized treatment plan, including the number of grafts needed and the desired hairline design.
-
Preparation and Local Anesthesia
On the day of the procedure, the donor and recipient areas are cleaned and shaved as needed. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort and a pain-free experience throughout the process.
-
Graft Extraction with Sapphire Blades
Using ultra-fine sapphire blades, the surgeon delicately extracts healthy hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp). Sapphire blades minimize tissue trauma and promote faster healing compared to traditional steel tools.
-
Direct Implantation of Hair Follicles
The extracted follicles are immediately implanted into the recipient area using a specialized implanter pen. This direct method allows for precise control over the angle, depth, and direction of each graft, ensuring a natural hairline and dense coverage.
-
Completion and Immediate Aftercare
Once implantation is complete, the scalp is cleaned and checked for optimal graft placement. The medical team provides post-procedure instructions, including how to care for your scalp, medications to reduce swelling, and tips to support healing.
-
Follow-Up and Recovery
You will attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and hair growth progress. Most patients can return to daily activities within a few days, and new hair growth typically becomes visible within a few months, with full results in 9–12 months.
Recovery and expectation?
The recovery journey after a SDHI (Sapphire Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplant is a carefully guided process, designed to maximize both comfort and results. Understanding each recovery phase will help you set realistic expectations and follow the best practices for optimal hair growth and scalp health.
-
Immediate Post-Procedure (First 3–5 days)
During the initial days, you may notice mild swelling, redness, and slight discomfort in both the donor and recipient areas. Tiny scabs will form around the implanted follicles. It is crucial to avoid touching or scratching your scalp and to sleep with your head elevated. Your surgeon will provide gentle cleansing instructions and may prescribe medications to manage discomfort and prevent infection.
-
Early Healing Phase (1–2 weeks)
By the end of the first week, most swelling and redness will subside. Scabs will begin to fall off naturally—do not pick at them. You can typically return to non-strenuous work and light daily activities. Avoid direct sun exposure, heavy exercise, swimming, and wearing hats or helmets that may disturb the grafts.
-
Shedding and Resting Period (2–8 weeks)
It is normal for the transplanted hairs to shed during this time—a natural part of the hair growth cycle called "shock loss." The follicles remain healthy beneath the surface and begin preparing for new growth. Your scalp will look and feel more normal, and you can gradually resume more regular activities, but still avoid harsh hair treatments or vigorous rubbing.
-
Early Growth Phase (2–6 months)
New hair will start to emerge from the transplanted follicles, initially appearing thin and fine. Over the following months, these hairs will thicken and darken. You may notice patchy growth at first, but this is normal. Continue to follow your surgeon’s advice on gentle hair care and scalp hygiene.
-
Full Results and Maturation (6–12 months and beyond)
By 6–12 months, most patients see significant improvement in hair density and appearance. The transplanted hair will continue to mature, blending seamlessly with your natural hair. At this stage, you can return to all normal hair care routines, including haircuts, styling, and coloring, as advised by your specialist.
