What is SDHI Hair Transplantation?
SDHI hair transplantation is a cutting-edge technique designed to restore hair in areas affected by thinning or baldness. SDHI stands for Sapphire Direct Hair Implantation, which combines the precision of sapphire blades with the advanced direct implantation method. This approach allows for the creation of finer, more natural-looking hairlines and denser coverage, as each follicle is implanted individually without the need for pre-made incisions.
During the procedure, healthy hair follicles are harvested—typically from the back of the scalp—and then directly implanted into the target area using specialized sapphire-tipped instruments. This minimally invasive method promotes faster healing, reduces trauma to the scalp, and delivers natural, long-lasting results for both men and women experiencing hair loss.
Who is SDHI Hair Transplantation for?
SDHI Hair Transplantation is designed for individuals seeking a minimally invasive and natural-looking solution to hair loss. This advanced technique is particularly suitable for:
- Men and women experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) who desire fuller hair coverage.
- Patients with localized thinning or small bald patches, especially at the hairline, temples, or crown.
- Individuals who have sufficient donor hair at the back or sides of the scalp for transplantation.
- Those looking for a procedure with minimal scarring and a quicker recovery compared to traditional methods.
SDHI Hair Transplantation offers a precise and gentle approach, making it ideal for those who prioritize natural results and minimal downtime.
How is SDHI Hair Transplantation done?
SDHI (Sapphire Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplantation is an advanced, minimally invasive technique designed to deliver natural-looking, dense hair restoration with high precision. By combining the use of sapphire blades and direct implantation technology, SDHI offers faster healing, minimal scarring, and optimal graft survival rates.
-
Comprehensive Consultation and Assessment
The process begins with a detailed scalp analysis and discussion of your expectations. The specialist evaluates your hair density, donor area quality, and hairline design to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
-
Preparation and Local Anesthesia
The donor and recipient areas are carefully prepared and sterilized. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure maximum comfort throughout the procedure, making the process virtually painless.
-
Graft Extraction Using Sapphire Blades
Hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) using ultra-fine sapphire blades. These blades create precise, micro-incisions that minimize tissue trauma and promote rapid healing.
-
Direct Implantation of Hair Follicles
Extracted grafts are immediately implanted into the recipient area using a specialized implanter pen. This technique allows for exact control over the angle, depth, and direction of each hair, ensuring a natural hairline and dense coverage.
-
Post-Procedure Care and Recovery
After the procedure, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions and any necessary medications to reduce swelling and support healing. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.
Recovery and expectation?
The recovery journey after SDHI (Sapphire Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplantation is a gradual process, with each stage bringing you closer to natural-looking, permanent results. Understanding the recovery timeline will help you set realistic expectations and follow the best practices for optimal healing and hair growth.
-
Immediate Post-Procedure (First 7–10 Days)
In the first week, you may notice mild swelling, redness, and scabbing in both the donor and recipient areas. Tiny crusts will form around the implanted follicles and typically fall off within 7–10 days. It is crucial to avoid touching or scratching the scalp and to follow your surgeon’s cleaning instructions carefully. Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within 2–3 days, but should avoid heavy exercise and direct sun exposure.
-
Early Healing & Shedding Phase (2–6 Weeks)
During this period, the transplanted hairs often enter a shedding phase (shock loss), which is a normal part of the process. The underlying follicles remain healthy and will soon begin new growth. Any lingering redness or sensitivity usually subsides. Continue to avoid harsh hair products and protect your scalp from trauma or sunburn.
-
Initial Regrowth (2–4 Months)
New hair growth typically becomes visible by the end of the third or fourth month. The new hairs may appear fine and thin at first, but will gradually thicken over time. You can usually resume normal hair care routines, including gentle washing and styling, as advised by your medical team.
-
Noticeable Improvement (6–9 Months)
At this stage, significant hair growth and density become apparent. The transplanted hair blends more naturally with your existing hair, and you can enjoy greater styling flexibility. Any minor numbness or tightness in the donor area should have resolved. Regular follow-up visits are recommended to monitor progress.
-
Final Results & Long-Term Care (12–18 Months)
By 12–18 months post-procedure, full results are typically achieved—your transplanted hair will have matured, thickened, and settled into its permanent pattern. To maintain healthy hair and scalp, continue with good hair care practices and attend periodic check-ups as recommended by your specialist.
