Multi Implanter DHI method in Estethica 2026 — What Is It and Why Choose It This Year
To put it simply: Multi Implanter DHI is the most precise and gentle version of direct hair implantation, which is now used in Estethica (Istanbul). The main difference from regular DHI is a patented multi-implanter (multi-needle Choi pen), which allows placing several grafts simultaneously with perfect control over angle, depth, and direction. This results in higher density and a more natural look.
In 2026, this method is particularly popular among those who:
Want transplantation without full head shaving (especially women)
Are correcting the hairline, temples, or parting
Are transplanting beard or eyebrows
Are afraid of long healing times and want to return to normal life quickly
Graft survival rate in Estethica is consistently 95–98% — one of the best indicators among Istanbul clinics.
How much does it cost in 2026? Basic Multi Implanter DHI package — €1,640 All-inclusive (procedure + 2 nights in a 4* hotel + all transfers + breakfasts) — €1,720
Important point: the price in Estethica is fixed and without graft limits. That means they transplant as many as really needed for a good result, without extra charges for "additional 500 grafts."
The clinic is located in the Ataşehir district (European side of Istanbul), 35–50 minutes from Istanbul Airport by comfortable transfer. You only need to spend 3 days in Istanbul: arrival → procedure → departure the next day.
If you're interested in how many grafts you'll need personally and what dates are available — the easiest way is to send us a photo of the balding area. We'll respond in 5–10 minutes with an accurate calculation.
What Is the DHI Method and How Does It Differ from Other Techniques
DHI hair transplant method stands for Direct Hair Implantation (direct hair implantation). The key thing that sets this method apart from all others is that hairs are not placed into pre-made holes. Instead, a special tool called Choi Pen (or implanter) is used. It simultaneously opens a tiny channel and immediately places the graft into it. So, two actions happen in one puncture.
Let's break it down simply, how the process looks in different methods:
Classic FUE (the most common method)
Extract grafts from the donor area (back of the head)
Separately create many small holes/channels in the recipient area (this takes quite a bit of time)
Then manually or with tweezers place each graft into these ready-made holes
DHI (and its improved versions)
Extract grafts from the donor area
Immediately take the Choi Pen → open the channel → instantly place the graft at the right depth and angle
So, there's no separate "channel opening" stage. That's the core advantage.
Why Is This Considered a More Modern Technique?
Because the surgeon can control three most important parameters for each hair:
Depth — so the follicle sits exactly at the depth it grew before
Angle of inclination — so the hairs lie naturally, as they used to grow
Density — grafts can be placed closer together than in classic FUE
As a result, the outcome looks maximally natural, especially on the front hairline, temples, and parting.
And What About DHI Plus Gold and Multi Implanter DHI in Estethica?
Estethica previously promoted their own development called DHI Plus Gold — it was their patented implanter with a golden tip. Gold was used not for show, but because it:
Causes almost no tissue trauma
Has antibacterial properties
Is highly biocompatible (the body hardly notices it)
But in 2025–2026, the clinic switched to a more advanced tool — Multi Implanter DHI. Now it's not just one Choi Pen, but a multi-implanter with several needles at once. This allows:
Placing 2–3 grafts per approach
Working faster (procedure shortened by 25–35%)
Achieving even higher density
Maintaining the same precision in angle and depth
Essentially, it's an evolution of DHI Plus Gold — the same direct implantation principle, but with a more sophisticated tool.
Key Advantages of DHI / Multi Implanter DHI Over FUE
No separate channel creation stage → less skin trauma
Precise control of depth and angle → hairs grow in the right direction
Possible without full shaving of the recipient area (especially important for women)
Less swelling and faster healing
Higher density results in small and medium areas
In short: FUE is a reliable and versatile method for large areas. DHI / Multi Implanter DHI is more precise, gentle, and aesthetic for visible zones and those seeking maximum naturalness.

Who Is the DHI Method Suitable For: Indications and Limitations
DHI (direct implantation) and its modern version Multi Implanter DHI work best when you need a very natural and dense result in relatively small or medium areas.
Who Is It Ideally Suited For:
Men
Early and medium stages of hair loss (1–4 degrees on the Norwood scale)
Want to correct the hairline or make it lower and more natural
Need to add density to temples and crown
After injuries, burns, or unsuccessful previous procedures
Women
Diffuse thinning across the head
Hairline correction (often after childbirth, stress, or hormonal changes)
Increasing volume and density without full head shaving
That's why DHI is so popular among women — you can avoid shaving long hairs completely and work only in the needed area.
Additional Areas Where DHI Shows Excellent Results in Estethica
Eyebrow transplantation — restoring shape after over-plucking or loss
Beard and mustache — creating a more masculine and dense look
Eyelashes — after injuries, chemotherapy, or just for aesthetics
When DHI Might Not Be the Best Choice (Contraindications and Limitations)
Absolute Contraindications (procedure cannot be done):
Active inflammations or infections on the scalp
Blood clotting disorders (hemophilia and similar)
Severe mental disorders
Age under 25 — hair loss process is not yet stabilized
Relative Limitations (procedure possible, but needs discussion):
Very large balding area (6–7 degrees on the Norwood scale) — usually transplant up to 3,500–4,000 grafts per session
Weak donor area (few hairs on the back of the head)
Very thin, light, or strongly curly hairs — the tool is harder to use, result may be less predictable
Active phase of hair loss — better to stabilize first with medications
If you have thin or curly hairs — it's not a sentence, but the surgeon must be very experienced to achieve good density.
Stages of Multi Implanter DHI in Estethica — How It All Happens in Practice
Arrival Day (Day 0) You're met at the airport (Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen), taken to a 4* hotel in Ataşehir district. Usually, it's 4–6 minutes walk to the clinic. On this day, you can just rest, eat, stroll around.
Procedure Morning
Examination and Consultation (30–45 minutes)
Check the scalp, take photos
Examine hairs with a special analyzer
Take blood tests (if not done in advance)
Discuss the desired result and draw the hairline
Planning (10–15 minutes)
The surgeon marks the areas together with you
Calculate approximately how many grafts are needed
Anesthesia (15–20 minutes)
Needle-free + light sedation
You lie comfortably, feel almost nothing
Graft Extraction (1–2 hours)
Taken from the back of the head with a micromotor
Grafts are sorted by number of hairs and placed in Hypothermosol solution (their own development — nearly 100% viability)
Multi Implanter DHI Implantation (2–4 hours)
Simultaneously open the channel and place the graft
Control each hair — depth, angle, direction
End of Procedure Day
Apply golden mask (Estethica patent) — helps sleep comfortably
Do PRP (blood plasma) + ozone therapy
Treat with golden cream
Give a full care kit and instructions
The Next Day First head wash in the clinic, examination, documents, guarantee — and you can fly home.
Advantages and Real Disadvantages of Multi Implanter DHI
What Really Works Well
95–98% graft survival
Very natural angle and direction of growth
Minimal damage to existing hairs
Possible without shaving the recipient area
Fast healing — you can wash your head after 3 days
You can return to office work after 1–2 days
Objective Disadvantages
Longer time than regular FUE (5–8 hours)
15–30% more expensive
Not suitable for very large areas in one go
Works best with straight and medium-thick hairs
Results — What to Really Expect Month by Month
Days 1–3: slight swelling, redness, crusts
Days 7–14: crusts fall off, donor area heals
Weeks 2–4: shock loss of transplanted hairs (normal)
Months 3–6: first new hairs start growing
Months 6–9: already 70–80% of the final result
Month 12: full result + lifetime guarantee on transplanted hairs
Transplanted hairs never fall out — they are taken from a zone genetically resistant to balding.
Why Choose Estethica for Hair Transplantation with Multi Implanter DHI
Estethica isn't just another clinic in Istanbul. It's one of the few networks that since 2007 has been working exclusively in aesthetic medicine and specializing in hair for over 15 years.
Here's what makes it special for those choosing DHI / Multi Implanter DHI:
They have their own patented tool for direct implantation (previously it was the golden tip DHI Plus Gold, now — the more advanced Multi Implanter). They don't use Chinese copies; they really invested in development.
First clinic in Turkey to receive Class A status back in 2014. That's the highest accreditation level.
International JCI accreditation (Joint Commission International) — the same standard as top hospitals in the US and Europe.
Over 28,000 hair procedures — huge experience.
Lifetime written guarantee on transplanted hairs (issued to every patient on the procedure day).
24/7 English-speaking support — not just a translator, but a personal coordinator who handles all issues from start to a year after.
Fixed price without hidden extras for grafts — as many as needed, that's how many they transplant.
How Estethica Differs from Most Other Istanbul Clinics
Many clinics now offer DHI or FUE from €1,400–1,800, but the difference is often in the details:
Some have a limit of 3,000–3,500 grafts per procedure (then pay extra)
Others have no lifetime guarantee or it's just verbal
Many lack proper English support after departure
Most have Class B or C, not A
In Estethica, that's not the case. They're not the cheapest on the market, but not the most expensive either. Here, you pay exactly for what you get: fixed price, full package without surprises, really high graft survival rate, and support until the hairs grow fully.
