DHI hair transplant for patients from Austria

With DHI, every graft is placed directly into the scalp with a fine Choi Pen. For patients from Austria we organise the whole stay in Istanbul – from photo analysis to aftercare at home.

Our head surgeon draws the new hairline before DHI

Every year many people travel from Austria to Istanbul for a DHI hair transplant. Flight time from Vienna, Graz and Linz is between 2 h 5 min and 2 h 20 min.

The ÖGK and private insurers in Austria usually do not cover cosmetic hair transplants. So you pay yourself – and with us a fixed price that already includes hotel, transfers, support and aftercare.

What makes DHI different

Classic FUE opens channels first and inserts the grafts afterwards. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) removes that step: the graft is already loaded in the needle of the Choi Pen and goes in with a single movement. Grafts spend less time outside the body, and the surgeon can work very closely between existing hair.

All about DHI hair transplant

Your stay

  1. Arrivals hall at Istanbul Airport
    Day 1

    Arrival

    Airport pick-up and drive to the hotel. In the evening your coordinator calls to go through the next day.

  2. Our head surgeon works on the patient’s hairline with magnifying loupes
    Day 2

    Analysis and procedure

    First comes a trichoscopy to analyse your hair and scalp, plus a blood test and an ECG. Then your individual hairline is drawn.

    This is followed by the extraction and implantation of the hair follicles. The procedure is carried out under sedation (“Sleep Deep”). Afterwards you receive a PRP treatment.

  3. Follow-up conversation with our head surgeon at the clinic
    Day 3

    Check-up, first hair wash and departure

    The head surgeon personally checks your donor and recipient areas and carries out the first hair wash himself. This is also included in the package.

    You then have your final consultation and receive all the medication and care products you need, with a detailed explanation of how to use them and of your aftercare.

    From the afternoon, after the final check-up, you can travel home.

Questions about this treatment

Is DHI better than FUE?

Not across the board. DHI has the edge for hairlines and densifying; FUE can place more grafts in a single session on very large areas. The head surgeon decides which fits after analysing your photos.

Do I have to shave my head for DHI?

The donor area at the back is usually trimmed short. The recipient area can often stay unshaven with DHI. If nothing should be shaved at all, Long DHI is the right variant.

Does a DHI hair transplant hurt?

We want your hair transplant to be as comfortable as possible. That is why we combine local anaesthesia with individually adjusted sedation – which we call the “Sleep-Deep method”. The sedation helps you relax and experience the treatment more calmly. The local anaesthesia ensures that the treated area is free of pain.

Does the ÖGK cover a hair transplant?

Usually not, as it counts as a cosmetic procedure. Exceptions are rare and concern hair loss after accidents, for example.
