Assessment Comes First
A consultation helps assess the cause and pattern of hair loss, donor supply, scalp health and your goals before any procedure is recommended.

The DHI Method
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) describes placing prepared hair grafts into the recipient area with a specialised implanter pen. The grafts are commonly harvested using FUE, so DHI is an implantation approach rather than a separate way of extracting follicles.
The implanter allows the clinician to place grafts while controlling their angle, direction and depth. It is one option for hair restoration, not a guarantee of a denser or more natural result; planning, donor capacity, hair characteristics and aftercare all matter.
At Dr. AP Clinic, the first step is an assessment of your scalp, hair loss pattern and donor area. We discuss whether DHI, another approach, medical treatment or no procedure is appropriate, and explain the proposed plan and quote before you decide.
Understanding DHI
A consultation helps assess the cause and pattern of hair loss, donor supply, scalp health and your goals before any procedure is recommended.
In DHI, prepared grafts are placed with an implanter pen. The extraction method and the overall surgical plan are considered separately and tailored to the patient.
Growth and appearance vary with individual characteristics and aftercare. Before treatment, the clinic team should explain expected outcomes, risks, alternatives and follow-up.
What Guides Us
No treatment is recommended until we have examined your scalp under magnification and, where needed, checked thyroid, iron, vitamin D and hormonal levels.
A dedicated operating theatre, fresh single-use punches, blades and implanters for each patient, and protocols audited against standard surgical practice.
Hairlines are planned for how your hair loss will progress, so the result still looks natural a decade later — and your donor area is never over-harvested.
Your quote covers the procedure, medication, dressings and all follow-up visits for twelve months. Nothing is added later.
The Facility
A hair transplant is a six-to-eight hour procedure. The room you spend it in matters.
