Activated DHT (Direct Hair Transplant) in Mumbai
Doctors who acquire experience in FUE techniques use small punches. There are many hair transplant surgeons in Mumbai who are using 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 & 0.9 punches depending on the size of the follicle.
But the size of the punch depends on the size of the follicle. Also, a small-sized punch means good healing. The size of the punch should larger than the size of the hair follicle for taking out the complete hair follicle.

Now, DHI is a very old method and it was invented for the direct implantation of hair. It means the hair grafts/follicles are extracted and immediately implanted.
The purpose of DHI was to reduce the time of hair graft stored outside the body. It was necessary to reduce the ischemia time and prevent the graft from going into a shock after surgery. Well, preserved grafts are accepted by the body which makes the DHI treatment a successful one.
What are the disadvantages of the DHI procedure?
Positioning
Strategic placement of grafts is important
Proper cleaning of grafts does not happen in DHI
When grafts are extracted, they are covered with clotted blood. If the grafts are not cleaned properly, they are likely to hamper the blood supply when implanted.
What is activated DHT?
- In this method, we extract grafts with appropriate size punch (0.7, 0.8, or 0.9) depending on the size of the follicles.
- Once we know grafts are coming out good then we do all punching of grafts. The grafts are left in the hole to ensure that they continue to receive blood supply. This takes care of the ischemia time. In scientific terms, it is known as in-vivo preservation.
- We create slits for single follicles in front than for double follicles and then for triple follicles. This helps in implanting the grafts according to the size of the follicle. This prevents the problem of Cobblestones.
- Activated DHT assures the desired density of hair and is much better than the DHI treatment where only the implantation of the graft is possible without no assurance of the desired density of hair.
- After proper cleaning grafts are placed in ATPase solution or PRP solution so that the survival of grafts increased. This process is called the Activation of the follicle.
- In DHI implantation is done with an implanter which has two major disadvantages –This method cannot give good density because while pushing the implanter surrounding follicles may come out. The use of an implant increases the cost of the procedure.
- Once the slitting process is over, the punched-out grafts are extracted. They are cleaned properly with Ringer Lactate solution to make sure the grafts survive after the implantation. This cleaning of the extracted hair follicles removes the clotting of blood around it and ensures that they receive blood supply and increases their chance of survival.

Hence we have modified the implantation method –
First, we create a slit with a CTS blade so that minimal trauma is done. We do implantation with a NO ROOT TOUCH technique. In this technique, we do not touch the root of the hair follicle. We hold the follicle at the opposite side of the root (i.e. tip) while implanting. This increases the growth rate as well as the percentage of follicle survival.
