FUE and DHI are methods in which follicles are removed from the donor area one by one. The main difference lies in how the follicles are placed in the recipient area. DHI can use a special implanter pen. This page compares the two methods and explains what is considered when choosing between them. The information is general and does not replace a personal assessment.
