FUE + Implanter Pen (DHI Technique) Cost in Korea

The FUE + Implanter Pen method, also referred to as the DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique, is a refined approach widely used in Korean hair transplant clinics. This technique allows for simultaneous channel creation and implantation using a Choi Implanter Pen, minimizing graft handling and maximizing follicle survival. It’s ideal for high-density restoration and precise hairline design, making it a popular choice among both local and international patients.
