Hair transplant pen used for

A hair transplant pen—commonly known as an implanter pen or Choi pen—is a specialized tool used during hair transplant procedures, particularly in the Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) technique.



🔍 Main Uses of Hair Transplant Pen:

Implanting Hair Follicles:



The pen allows surgeons to insert grafts (hair follicles) directly into the scalp without making pre-incision channels.



This makes the process faster and more precise.



Minimizing Damage:



The pen minimizes trauma to the scalp and surrounding tissues, helping to improve graft survival rate.



Better Angle and Direction:



It provides precise control over the angle, direction, and depth of each graft, which is critical for a natural-looking hairline.



Used in DHI Technique:



The pen is a core component of DHI, a variation of the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method.



🧰 How It Works:

The surgeon loads a hair graft into the pen.



Then, with one motion, the pen creates a slit and implants the graft simultaneously.



Multiple pens may be used with different needle sizes (e.g., 0.6mm to 1.0mm) depending on graft thickness.



✅ Advantages:

Faster healing



Higher precision



Reduced graft handling



Less bleeding and trauma



No need to shave the head fully (especially in DHI)

Choi implanter benefits

ChatGPT said:

The Choi implanter (also known as the Choi pen) offers several benefits, especially when used in the DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique. It is one of the most advanced tools for follicular unit implantation in modern hair restoration procedures.



✅ Key Benefits of the Choi Implanter:

1. Greater Precision

Allows for accurate control of angle, depth, and direction.



Ensures a more natural-looking hairline and density pattern.



2. Minimizes Graft Damage

Reduces handling of the hair grafts.



Grafts are directly implanted without forceps, lowering the risk of follicle trauma or damage.



3. No Premade Incisions Needed

With the Choi pen, the surgeon creates the incision and implants the graft in one step, which:



Saves time.



Reduces bleeding and scalp trauma.



4. Faster Healing Time

Smaller, more precise incisions mean faster recovery and less scarring.



Less risk of post-op infection and inflammation.



5. Higher Graft Survival Rate

Because follicles are exposed to air and handling for less time, they are more likely to survive and grow after implantation.



6. Ideal for Unshaven or Partially Shaved Procedures

Particularly useful for female patients or patients who do not want full head shaving.



Can be used selectively in thinning areas without affecting existing hair.



7. Better Density Control

Multiple pens with different needle sizes allow for dense packing of grafts in a controlled manner.
