The DHI hair transplant, exclusive to Maison Lutétia, is a medical procedure requiring one or two full days of meticulous work, typically between 8 and 16 hours of intervention. From start to finish, it is performed by a highly specialized physician, manually extracting and implanting each hair follicle one by one. To care for the patient and assist the physician, an expert nurse is present throughout the operation. Their role includes preserving, categorizing, and preparing the grafts for implantation. The DHI procedure also requires two sets of high-precision single-use instruments, a biopreservation solution, HypoThermosol, and a semi-sterile operating room.
The DHI method is by far the most qualitative and effective. It avoids the disadvantages of traditional hair transplant techniques such as FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation, also known as the strip method), FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), or IFA (Automated Follicular Implantation).
Contrary to popular belief, the DHI hair transplant is not merely a non-invasive FUE, as some low-cost clinics might suggest! This method must be performed by medical staff specially trained in a precise procedure, following a standardized protocol that involves meticulously codified steps unique to Maison Lutétia.
For comparison, a rhinoplasty or breast implants typically require only 30 to 45 minutes in the operating room. Knowing the cost of such procedures makes it easier to understand the fair price of a high-quality hair transplant.
