Sharp Implanter Pen Technology

Sharp hair transplant implanters are a cutting-edge innovation used in an FUE hair transplantation. These sharp implanter pens allow for meticulous control, reduced healing time and highly natural outcomes.

While the sharp implant technique relies on the support of a skilled medical team for successful results, only qualified hair transplant surgeons may carry out the actual hair transplant phase. Their expertise ensures both safety and precision throughout the procedure.

Sharp implanter pens deliver precise, natural-looking results in FUE hair transplant surgery. Learn more about the sharp hair implanter pen and its advantages.

Sharp Implanter Pens for Hair Transplants

Sharp hair implanters provide greater precision during placement, which results in natural-looking outcomes. These specialised instruments have changed surgeons’ approach to hair transplantation, particularly in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedures.

Understanding Sharp Hair Implanters

A sharp hair implanter is a precision instrument designed to create recipient sites and implant hair grafts simultaneously during transplantation procedures.

Where traditional methods use forceps for graft placement, the sharp hair transplant pen implanter enables improved control and accurate positioning of transplanted hair follicles.

How the Technology Works

The implantation process is elegantly streamlined.

Each device houses a single hair graft within its protective chamber.
When the surgeon activates the plunger, an internal stylus gently guides the graft through the device’s precision-engineered tip directly into the scalp.
This sharp, bevelled tip simultaneously creates the recipient channel and places the graft in one fluid motion.

What makes this particularly significant is how we protect your valuable hair follicles. In contrast to conventional methods that require forceps handling, our approach shields each graft within the hollow needle end throughout the direct placement process.

The protection provided by implant pens dramatically reduces the risk of graft damage when implanting hair while ensuring optimal survival rates.

Our Commitment to Excellence

At the Dr Bonaros Hair Transplant Clinic, we have moved beyond standard reusable Choi implanter systems to a more advanced method.

Our clinic exclusively uses state-of-the-art, single-use implanter pens in FUE hair transplantation. These sterile, disposable instruments provide enhanced safety protocols while delivering superior precision and efficiency.

The Clinical Process

The entire process flows seamlessly, allowing for rapid graft placement with reduced trauma to the recipient area.

Our experienced technician team carefully prepares each implanter by loading the harvested follicles with meticulous attention to detail.
These prepared implanter devices are then passed to Dr Bonaros, who expertly implants each graft, paying close attention to angle, depth and placement.

Benefits of Sharp Implanter Technology

At the Dr Bonaros Clinic, we observe several benefits of using sharp implanter pens during our FUE hair transplant procedures.

Precision & Control

Facilitates exact recipient site creation with minimal tissue disruption
Enables precise control over hair angle, direction and depth
Allows for natural hair growth patterns that imitate existing hairline

Improved Density & Natural Appearance

Allows for closer graft placement without compromising the blood supply
Higher density of grafts per square centimetre eventually blends with existing hair

Enhanced Graft Survival

Higher survival rate of transplanted follicles due to reduced handling
Minimises trauma to delicate hair follicles during placement
Reduces the time follicles spend outside the body, preserving their viability

Less Tissue Trauma

Less trauma to the surrounding scalp tissue compared to conventional methods
Smaller incision sites heal faster and leave minimal scarring
Decreased bleeding and swelling during and after the procedure

Simultaneous Site Creation & Implantation

Single-step process lessens overall procedure time
Minimises hair follicle exposure to environmental factors
Maintains optimal follicle hydration and temperature

Faster Recovery

Reduced surgical trauma leads to quicker healing times
Patients experience less post-operative discomfort

Professional Standards & Expertise for Implanter Pens

Sharp hair implanter devices are precision medical instruments that require specialised training and licensing. Only qualified hair transplant doctors may use these tools, as the surgery involves creating small incisions in the scalp tissue.

The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) has established comprehensive qualifications for scalp surgery that govern who may perform this hair transplant surgery. These regulations ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.

It is the only globally recognised board certification specifically for hair restoration surgery. This advanced credential confirms his specialised expertise and commitment to delivering world-class care.

Terminology Note

In commercial marketing materials, the use of sharp implanter pens is frequently referred to as Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). The term “DHI implanter pen” is simply another name for the sharp pen implanter itself.

However, the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) clarifies that “DHI hair transplant” is not a distinct transplant method. Rather, DHI represents a specific implantation technique utilised within FUE procedures.

This distinction is important for both practitioners and patients to understand when evaluating treatment options.

FAQs About Implanter Pens for Hair Transplants

Get answers to critical hair restoration questions from a renowned hair transplant surgeon.

What is more effective, FUT procedures or DHI hair transplants?

First, to clarify, there is no such medical procedure as a “DHI hair transplant.”

When comparing hair transplant effectiveness, let’s define the terminology. “DHI hair transplants” likely refers to Direct Hair Implantation, which is a specialised technique used during FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) procedures. The DHI hair technique is not a separate transplant method.

As you can see in this short video, modern DHI uses specialised implanter pens to simultaneously create recipient sites and place grafts. Traditional FUE involves making incisions first with blades or needles, then placing grafts separately.

The comparison should therefore be between FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE procedures, with DHI being one implantation technique within the FUE approach.

Why FUE is Generally Superior

FUE is the modern gold standard in hair transplantation, offering significant advantages over the older FUT strip method.

Patient experience is significantly improved with FUE’s less invasive approach, reduced complications, and suitability for active lifestyles. The procedure can be performed in smaller sessions, offering flexibility in treatment planning without significant lifestyle disruption.

Aesthetically, FUE eliminates linear scarring, allowing patients to wear short hairstyles without visible marks while providing faster healing, less pain, and more natural-looking results through individual follicle placement.

Technically, FUE offers greater graft selection and placement precision while better preserving follicle integrity. The method allows harvesting from multiple donor areas, including body hair, and when combined with the sharp (DHI) technique, provides superior control over specific angles and direction for exceptionally natural results.
