Before and After Gallery (Images + Stories)

Case Study 1: Rohan, Age 28 – The Early Receder

Before:
Rohan began experiencing hairline recession in his early 20s. By the age of 26, significant thinning around the temples gave him an older, fatigued appearance, affecting his self-esteem and confidence in social situations.

After (8 Months Post-DHI):
Thanks to DHI’s advanced and precise implantation technique, Rohan now enjoys a fuller, more youthful hairline. The density and texture seamlessly blend with his existing hair, making the results virtually undetectable, even up close.

Rohan’s Words:

“I never thought I’d feel this confident in photos again. DHI gave me my youth back.”

Case Study 2: Amit, Age 45 – Midlife Hair Thinning

Before:
Amit experienced diffuse thinning across the crown and the top of his scalp, a common issue in men entering their 40s. Despite trying PRP sessions and prescribed medications, the results were minimal and short-lived.

After (12 Months Post-DHI):
Using DHI’s precise implantation technique, over 3,000 healthy follicles were transplanted, focusing on crown coverage and overall volume restoration. Today, Amit enjoys a much fuller head of hair, reminiscent of how it looked in his early 30s.

Amit’s Words:

“It looks completely natural. Even my barber was surprised when I told him it wasn’t my original density!”

Case Study 3: Nikhil, Age 35 – High Forehead & Hairline Reshaping

Before:
Nikhil had always had a naturally high forehead, but by age 33, he began noticing visible thinning around the temples and mid-scalp. This subtle recession affected the overall balance of his face, making it appear longer and less proportionate.

After (10 Months Post-DHI):
DHI’s team of experts designed a customized, age-appropriate hairline to suit Nikhil’s facial structure. With seamless implantation, they restored fullness around the temples and reshaped the frontal zone. The result is a more youthful, symmetrical appearance that enhances his facial harmony.

Nikhil’s Words:

“The implantation was artistic. DHI didn’t just give me hair, they gave me balance and proportion.”

Case Study 4: Farhan, Age 60 – Restoring What Was Lost

Before:
Farhan had been bald for over 20 years. With limited scalp donor availability and age-related challenges, most clinics had deemed his case unsuitable for transplant. Despite this, Farhan remained hopeful for a solution.

After (14 Months Post-DHI):
DHI specialists crafted a strategic plan, utilizing beard grafts along with optimized scalp donor zones to achieve a remarkably dense and natural-looking frontal hairline. The transformation not only enhanced Farhan’s appearance but also significantly boosted his confidence and presence.

Farhan’s Words:

“I thought I was too old to benefit from hair restoration. DHI proved me wrong.”

How Long Does It Take to See Results: Realistic Timeline

One of the most common questions is:
“When will I start seeing new hair growth?”

Here’s a breakdown based on DHI clinical data and hundreds of real-world cases:

• Month 1–2:
  Slight shedding of transplanted hair is completely normal; this is called shock loss. The follicles remain alive and healthy beneath the scalp.
• Month 3–4:
  Early regrowth begins. New hair sprouts as fine strands, gradually increasing in thickness.
• Month 6–8:
  Major improvements in density. Around 60–70% of the final result is usually visible by this stage.
• Month 12–14:
  Outcome achieved, fully natural density, matching texture, and no visible signs of surgery.

Why DHI Results Are Superior

• Over 90% follicle survival rate
• No-touch technique ensures follicle viability
• Direct implantation avoids pre-made slits or incisions

Why DHI’s Natural Results Stand Out

When it comes to hair transplant before-and-after results, the difference lies in the details, and DHI International has mastered them all. Here’s why thousands of patients across the globe trust DHI as their preferred hair restoration partner:

Exclusive DHI Technique

DHI International utilizes the revolutionary Direct Hair Implantation (DHI®) method—a minimally invasive, patented technique that sets a new standard in hair restoration.

Unlike traditional FUE or FUT procedures that require incisions or stitches, the DHI technique implants each follicle directly into the scalp using a specialized implanter. This provides full control over the angle, depth, and direction of each hair—resulting in:

• Natural hairlines
• Even density
• Undetectable results, even from up close

Certified Doctors, Not Technicians

At DHI, every procedure is performed exclusively by trained and certified doctors, never by technicians or junior staff. This commitment ensures:

• Higher graft survival rates
• Safer procedures
• More predictable, consistent outcomes

This is a key differentiator: no delegation, no shortcuts, only expertise.

One of the Highest Graft Survival Rates in the Industry

Thanks to its precision technique and medical-grade instruments, DHI achieves a graft survival rate of 90% or higher, among the best globally. That means:

• Maximum hair regrowth
• Minimal follicle wastage
• Better value from every graft transplanted

No Scars. No Stitches. Minimal Downtime.

With DHI’s non-invasive approach, patients benefit from:

• No visible scars
• No stitches or linear marks
• Fast recovery, return to normal activities in just a few days

It’s hair restoration without disruption, ideal for professionals, public figures, or anyone who values discretion and convenience.
