What is Robotic DHI?
Robotic DHI is a patented hair transplant system invented by Lütfi Keçici. Follicles are extracted one by one with 0.6-0.7 mm micro-punches and moved straight into the device's +4°C preservation solution, where they stay until implantation. Each graft is then placed by hand with a DHI Choi pen, which opens the channel and implants the follicle in one motion.
Robotic DHI vs classic DHI
Both methods implant grafts with a Choi pen, so the hairline is designed and placed by hand. Robotic DHI adds a patented device: every graft stays in a medical-grade +4°C solution inside the robotic arm for the whole procedure, to minimize room-temperature exposure, and density is planned per cm². This protocol supports the clinic-documented 98%+ graft survival rate when it is followed in full.
What it means for you
- No linear donor scar: fine 0.6-0.7 mm punches leave small, discreet marks in the donor area.
- A natural hairline: each graft is placed by hand at angles planned for your face.
- Shorter recovery than sapphire FUE: most patients return to social life in about 11 days, and the usual restrictions end after about 3 weeks. Smaller 0.8 mm channels, instead of 1.4 mm, make the difference.
- 98%+ documented graft survival: clinic-documented results when the full protocol is followed.
One patient a day, with the inventor at every step
Lütfi Keçici treats one patient a day at his clinic in Istanbul. He takes part in every step, from your density plan and hairline design to extraction, implantation and follow-up. Clinics in Istanbul, London, Dubai and Kosovo have bought the Robotic DHI device, but treatment from its inventor is only available at his own clinic.
What affects the cost of Robotic DHI
There is no fixed price, because every plan starts with your own scalp. The number of grafts you need, the size of the area, your donor capacity and the density planned per cm² all shape the final cost. Your free analysis ends with a written plan that includes the recommended technique, an estimated graft count and a review of risks, before you commit to anything.
Recovery and results
Results grow in over months. New hair usually starts to appear around month 3, and final density shows at 8-12 months. Healing varies from person to person.
Answer first
What should patients know before choosing Robotic DHI Hair Transplant?
Before choosing Robotic DHI Hair Transplant, the most important factors are candidacy, donor suitability, angle planning, tissue handling, and follow-up. At Lütfi Keçici's Istanbul clinic, each treatment starts with a medical review and cm²-based density plan rather than a fixed graft promise. The goal is to match the restoration area with the patient's anatomy, donor capacity, hair characteristics, and natural growth direction. Robotic DHI and DHI Choi placement are used to reduce out-of-body time, support graft preservation, and place follicles at controlled angles. Results still vary by healing, existing hair, skin response, aftercare, and the safe number of grafts available. Patients should compare real cases, understand the recovery timeline, and ask which technique fits their expectations before booking. A free analysis is the first step toward a written plan, technique recommendation, graft estimate, and review of risks.
How the Procedure Works
- 1
Free Consultation & Hair Analysis
We begin with a full hair loss assessment: cm²-based density mapping, donor area evaluation, and a personalized graft plan. You receive a written procedure outline before making any commitment.
- 2
Customized Procedure Design
Your hairline or restoration area is designed with golden ratio proportions calibrated to your facial geometry, so each design is drawn from your own features.
- 3
Follicle Extraction
Follicles are extracted individually using 0.6–0.7 mm Micro-FUE punches. Each graft is immediately transferred to the Robotic DHI device's integrated +4°C cooling chamber to minimize room-temperature exposure.
- 4
Graft Preservation in Robotic DHI System
Extracted grafts are stored in the +4°C preservation solution inside the robotic arm throughout the entire procedure. This protocol supports the clinic-documented 98%+ graft survival rate.
- 5
Simultaneous Channel Opening & Implantation
The Choi pen opens the recipient channel and implants the graft in a single motion. Combined with 0.6–0.7 mm punches and cm² spacing, this avoids a linear donor scar and reduces visible tissue disruption.
- 6
Post-Procedure Care & Follow-Up Protocol
You receive a written aftercare protocol and access to our 12-month follow-up program including PRP support sessions. Return to social life is typically possible within 10–11 days.

Expert Answers
What is the difference between Robotic DHI and DHI?
Both place grafts by hand with a Choi pen. Robotic DHI adds a patented device that keeps every graft in a +4°C preservation solution inside the robotic arm for the whole procedure, together with cm²-based density planning. Lütfi Keçici, who invented the system, treats patients personally at his Istanbul clinic.
Does the robot implant the hair?
No. The robotic system protects the grafts between extraction and implantation. Every graft is implanted by hand with a DHI Choi pen, so the angle and direction of each hair are controlled by the person performing the procedure.
How long is recovery after Robotic DHI?
Most patients return to social life in about 11 days, and the usual restrictions end after about 3 weeks. Temporary shedding in the first weeks is normal. New growth usually starts around month 3, with final density at 8-12 months.
