DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) offers a minimally invasive solution for thinning hair. It uses a specialized pen to extract healthy hair follicles and implant them directly into bald or thinning areas, all in one step. This reduces follicles’ time outside the scalp, boosting their survival rate. DHI offers faster healing, minimal scarring, and a natural-looking, denser hair growth pattern compared to traditional methods.
At Mane Center for Advanced Hair Restoration, we use advanced technology to provide personalized consultations and ensure natural-looking results for effective hair restoration solutions.
DHI Hair Transplant: How It Works?
DHI Hair Transplant, an advanced adaptation of FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), involves harvesting hair follicles from the donor area (often the back of the head) and directly implanting them into the recipient’s balding areas.
Here’s how the procedure typically works:
Extraction: Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area using a fine-tipped tool.
Implantation: Follicles are implanted into balding areas using a Choi implanter pen without incisions.
Duration: The procedure typically lasts about 8 hours.
Hair Growth: Minimizes handling of follicles, promoting natural growth patterns.
Results: Natural hair growth is expected over 12 to 18 months, enhancing appearance with minimal scarring and quick recovery.

Dr. Burka is very knowledgeable and honest. This is refreshing in the hair industry. He did a great job with my transplant (I added the robot option). I could not recommend him further.

Dr. Burka and his staff did an amazing job of explaining all of the options for hair restoration and the pros/cons of each. They listened to my questions and needs and helped design a specific treatment plan without prescribing or forcing any specific procedure. Additionally Dr. Burka responded to my email questions prior to choosing to work with him. Highly recommend just for a consultation and certainly for any treatment as well.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Initially, I consulted with 7 different hair transplant clinics in the NoVa/DMV area and felt that Dr. Burka was the most understanding and least salesy. During our initial free in-person consultation, he really took the time to listen to my unique situation and carefully explain all my options to achieve my goals (In comparison, most others offered virtual or rushed in-person consultations with cookie-cutter recommendations of ~2000 graft FUE and no supplementary treatments). Further, Dr. Burka’s holistic approach – including medication and specialized Alma TED treatments prior to the surgery – have really improved the efficacy of my hair transplant. Even if you live farther away from his clinic (I live ~45mins away) you won’t regret the extra travel time.Now about the hair transplant itself: I did a 4500 graft FUT which is relatively more gnarly with the incision. Dr. Burka was very meticulous, and his team ensured I was comfortable throughout the day and felt as little pain as possible. The techs who harvested then placed the grafts clearly knew exactly what they were doing and were very friendly. They actually harvested more grafts than we anticipated, but didn’t rush anything and stayed until past 7pm to make sure everything went smoothly and all the grafts were placed correctly. Everyone involved was super professional and went above & beyond to make sure I was comfortable and that I’d get the best results possible.My followup appointments for the first hair wash & stitches removal went smoothly since Dr. Burka provided very clear instructions that I followed. I’m about 3 weeks post-surgery now and everything seems to be going according to plan. I was expecting more shedding of the newly implanted grafts at this stage, but the ALMA TED treatment I got on Dr. Burka’s recommendation seems to have minimized the shedding. I’m very grateful for his uniquely well-informed advice (no other clinic in the area provided me this insight) and look forward to seeing results gradually over the coming months.Last but not least – Dr. Burka’s team is super talented and friendly. Sarah and Valerie are awesome and make me feel welcome every appointment. I can’t thank you all enough for helping me restore my hair and confidence. I look forward to coming for routine checkups in the following months!
