DHI New Zealand Microsurgery Hair Transplant Specialists

An expanding waist line, wrinkles, thinning hair, grey hair and hair growing out of places it shouldn’t! Getting older throws us curve-balls from all directions. Thankfully, the world of non-surgical cosmetic treatments that are now, more than ever before, tailored to men, gives us a realm of anti-ageing solutions to help keep our true age and our perceived age as far apart as possible. 

We are going to talk about thinning hair, receding hair lines and grey hair and just how much of an ageing effect they have.

For anyone impacted by hair loss, a tropical holiday and a new head of hair sounds very appealing, right? You would certainly think twice if you heard some of the horror stories we have dealt with to correct the poor procedures people have had done while overseas. Thailand is a popular choice for New Zealand’s when combining a holiday with a hair transplant. But are the risks worth it?

In this article, we discuss the risks with overseas hair transplants and what you need to know to make sure you are informed before you go ahead with any hair loss treatment procedure.

A traditional hair transplant procedure such as FUT or "strip surgery" does require time off work. This technique involves a large incision at the back of the head to remove a section of hair follicles, which is then stitched back together. Recovery and time off work (typically at least a couple of weeks) is needed to recover and let the scar heal. Thankfully, today there are more innovative, less invasive options. Today's most advanced hair transplant technique is so delicate, you may not need to take any time off work.

We explain the most delicate and advanced technique below and why it could save you a long recovery period.

What does it take to be the best? When you consider the top golfers or surgeons, inherently there is natural skill, but perhaps most importantly, there is a persistent drive to be the best and a technique that is improved and refined in every aspect, with the aim of achieving perfection.

With the impetus to be the best, over the past 50 years, DHI has evolved hair restoration processes and procedures to achieve the most refined hair transplant technique, referred to as DHI Microsurgery. There are 3 key “pillars” or benefits that are unique to DHI.

Do you sometimes make a joke about your progressing baldness, trying to make it sound as though it doesn’t bother you? Have you made wearing a hat an art form? As a man, finding a way to talk to your wife or partner about how you really feel about losing your hair can be extremely difficult. How do you bring up the subject? How do you explain the impact it’s having on you? What if you’re not taken seriously? Sometimes you may feel like it’s just easier to “grin and bear it”. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Many DHI patients find that once they discuss the impact of hair loss with their partner, they feel less anxious and more positive. We give you a few helpful tips to make broaching the subject with your loved one easier.

The signs of ageing include wrinkles, the slowing down of cell renewal, grey hair and of course, hair loss. Loss of hair occurs when hair follicles stop hair growth, also known as alopecia. Through the normal hair growth cycle, we typically lose 50-100 hairs a day, however loss can be more excessive than this and many people turn to medication as a solution. Just like any other medication, there are side effects that need to be considered and weighed-up against other forms of treatment. 

We discuss the main types of hair loss, the symptoms that you should consult a hair restoration specialist about, and the drawbacks of hair loss drugs.

Thinning hair can have such an impact on a person, it can cause stress, anxiety and loss of self esteem, making you feel like you’d do anything to remedy the situation. Making a rash decision on a hair transplant can have diabolical consequences for a number of reasons. Firstly, the result can be unnatural looking, you may have a low follicle survival rate and worse still, so much damage can be done to the donor area that corrective surgery may not be a possibility. 

Making the right decision on your hair transplant provider from the beginning is so important – to get a natural looking result and to protect the donor area from trauma. In this article we explain the difference between FUT, FUE and the DHI methods and why DHI NZ hair transplants stand head and shoulders above the industry in terms of process, quality and results.

One of the biggest issues bald people face when trying to understand baldness is the endless list of myths, peculiar ideas and strange ‘cures’ that bounce around the internet and social media.

For the answers, listen as DHI head of hair restoration and Trichologist Paul Green talks about the myths and explains which are true and which are myth. Most importantly, Paul talks about what you need to do to prevent hair loss.

Over the years, Ashley & Martin have successfully built a brand associated with hair loss treatment. According to the CEO of Ashley & Martin, “2010 data shows that 70% of hair loss industry marketing is Ashley and Martin’s.” This shows that they spend a huge budget on marketing and brand awareness, but what about the quality of solutions and results?

With today’s increasingly significant emphasis on health and natural solutions, taking hair loss medications or a daily hair loss prevention routine may not be suitable for everyone. We explain the similarities and differences between Ashley & Martin (A&M) and DHI NZ hair loss prevention and solutions.
