Breaking Down Types of Hair Transplant Techniques: FUT, FUE, DHI, & MHI Explained by Dr. Amit Agarkar

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 8: With hair transplants becoming increasingly common, more people are asking not just if they should do it, but how to do it right.

From comparing the hair transplant cost to worrying about natural-looking hair transplant results, the search for the perfect technique can feel overwhelming. That’s where Dr. Amit Agarkar steps in.

A trusted name in advanced hair restoration, Dr. Agarkar is known for blending medical precision with a personalised touch. He breaks down the four leading techniques: FUT, FUE, DHI, and the cutting-edge MHI (Modified Hair Implantation)—to help you determine what’s right for your hair and goals. “Choosing a hair transplant isn’t just about looks—it’s about reclaiming confidence,” says Dr. Agarkar.

Whether you’re exploring FUE vs FUT vs DHI / MHI or DHI better than FUE?, or hoping for an unshaven hair transplant with advanced Stem Cell PRP hair transplant therapy, this guide simplifies the science into real answers for real people.

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

FUT Hair Transplant involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, usually the back of the head, from which follicular units are removed and implanted in the balding area. This approach is economical and ideal for people with significant hair loss.

It can produce up to 4000 grafts every session and doesn’t involve shaving the head. Nevertheless, it usually requires a longer recovery of 10–14 days, resulting in a linear scar.

Best for:

Those with severe baldness, looking for a budget-friendly solution, and not concerned about scarring.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

FUE Hair Transplant is a less invasive treatment than FUT since individual hair follicles are removed using a micro-punch tool and inserted into tiny wounds.

This technique avoids stitches, and recuperation takes only seven to ten days. A higher density of roughly 60 grafts per cm2 permits up to 5000 grafts per session. Although it costs a little more than FUT, it is a fantastic choice for outcomes that seem natural and leave minimal scarring.

Best for:

Patients seek a minimally invasive procedure with a quicker recovery and better aesthetic outcomes.

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)

Employing a Choi implanter pen, the DHI Hair Transplant method advances FUE by enabling direct follicle implantation without requiring pre-existing incisions. It results in higher precision, particularly for regions like temples and hairlines.

With a high density of 70–80 grafts per cm2, it is renowned for causing less damage and promoting quicker healing. Depending on the patient’s inclination, they might choose to be wholly or partially unshaven.

Best for:

Those aiming for high-density, natural results in targeted areas with a faster, less painful recovery.

MHI (Modified Hair Implantation)

Dr. Amit Agarkar pioneered the MHI Hair Transplant method, which combines the benefits of FUE and DHI with cutting-edge instruments like a motorised extractor and the Lion Pen for implantation.

What distinguishes MHI is the use of cutting-edge scalp-optimizing procedures, including Stem Cell PRP, GFC PRP, and PDO threads. These treatments speed healing, increase graft survival, and improve recipient area health.

With the ability to handle up to 6000 grafts in one session and deliver up to 80 grafts per cm², MHI offers maximum density with quick, scar-free recovery. The procedure is discreet, with unshaven or partially shaved options available.

Best for:

Individuals seek the most advanced, high-precision, natural results with fast healing and scalp rejuvenation benefits.

  • FUT: Most affordable, ideal for severe baldness, leaves a scar, and has a longer recovery.
  • FUE: Minimally invasive, faster recovery, moderate density, slightly higher cost.
  • DHI: High precision, best for small, high-density areas like hairlines, fastest healing
  • MHI: Combines speed, precision, and regenerative therapies, offering top-tier results and comfort.

Nowadays, there is no one-size-fits-all method for hair transplantation. Thanks to medical innovations spearheaded by specialists like Dr. Amit Agarkar, patients can access customised solutions that fit their unique demands and lifestyles. The first step to a confident new you is knowing your options, whether your goal is full coverage or just repairing a receding hairline.
