Direct hair transplantation is a modification of FUE technique. In normal FUE the all hairs (grafts) are harvested from donor area and kept them in graft holding solution, and then after making holes in recipient area these graft implantation done. So in normal FUE grafts are remains outside body for 1-4 hrs.
In DHT hairs are harvested with same technique as in FUE but grafts are implanted to recipient area without delay (grafts are implanted simultaneously with the extraction), it further reduces the total time of surgery and also out of body time of grafts. It improves the results of hair transplant
The most important advantage of direct hair implantation is, it reduces “out of body time” of follicles to increase graft survival rate.
Many factors of low survival, graft drying and desiccation, hypoxia, infection, heating, storage injuries are bypass in DHT.
