Injecting the roots taken by the FUE method into the skin by means of a pen is called the Pen method (Implanter Pen Technique) or DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). This method has a more painless and faster recovery process.
The roots taken by the Fue method are placed in the pens. The doctor adjusts the depth, direction, and angle of the pens before injecting the root into the skin. After the needle is retracted, the root remains under the skin.
With pencils thinner than 1 millimeter, it is possible to transplant without cutting any hair and between the areas where the hair is less or between the beard and mustache areas without leaving any mark or divot.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF PEN METHOD COMPARING TO CLASSICAL METHOD?
In the classical transplanting method, channels are opened to the scalp with a blade or needle. Roots are placed in channels opened with special tweezers. Largely opened cause marks that can be noticed during the recovery period. This distorts the natural appearance and makes hair transplant visible.
Whereas,
- In pen method, hair transplant can be applied more densely since pen tips are thin.
- Hair transplanted with a pen is easily angled. This makes the appearance extremely natural.
