Learn moreWHY DHI
DHI Medical Group has developed its proprietary technique Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) that gives natural results with maximum growth while ensuring Client safety. The DHI method of hair transplant depends on the use of a specially developed tools, implanters and punches that enable surgeons to have complete control on direction, angle and depth of hair implanted while also providing greater density.
DHI Medical Group has over the past 56 years treated more than 200,000 hair loss sufferers. The learnings have been captured and catalogued in Standard Operating Procedures that help us create the art of hair restoration into a replicable science. Every DHI clinic, surgeon and employee undergoes a comprehensive training on these protocols and must adhere to the processes in the SOPs certified by the UK's Care Quality Commission and ISO.
The DHI training program for surgeons is one of a
kind and participants must pass several tests before
they are certified to be able to perform procedures
in DHI clinics.
DHI Medical Group constantly monitors each
surgeon's adherence to defined DHI protocols even
after they are certified. Every single procedure is
assessed by a group of Medical Directors to drive
accountability in its surgeons.
Amongst the many principles that DHI follows to offer the best possible treatment to its customers is the promise that Doctors exclusively perform the entire hair transplant procedure. The nurses that work with the doctor are charged with assisting them only.
This is at odds with the industry's practice of getting nurses to perform parts and in many cases the entire procedure.

She doesn't have much pain. In terms of money, it is less than Turkey. No one needs to be afraid. The transplant will be done easily. I am confident of a positive outcome"

"I wanted to share my 1-year progress after my hair transplant at DHI with Dr. Amila and his amazing team. Over the past year, the results have exceeded my expectations. I previously shared photos from before the transplant, the procedure day, 14 days after, and my 1-month progress. Today, I’m excited to add my 1-year update photo, and I can honestly say I’m extremely happy with the outcome. My hair has grown in fully, the density looks great, and the hairline is very natural. Most importantly, the results blend perfectly with my existing hair, giving me a much more confident appearance. Friends and family are often surprised when I tell them I had a hair transplant because the result looks so natural. The entire journey—from consultation to aftercare—was handled professionally by Dr. Amila and the DHI team. Their expertise, attention to detail, and ongoing support made the experience smooth and stress-free. A big thank you to Dr. Amila and everyone at DHI for helping me achieve such an amazing transformation. I highly recommend DHI to anyone considering a hair transplant. This has been one of the best decisions I have made, and I couldn’t be happier with my 1-year results."

"I got my DHI hair transplant in around June 2024 while still in my early 20s. My parents and even the clerk at DHI told me it's too early or it doesn't look that bad but I was stubborn and insisted to get it. It was one of the best decisions of my life. I can't remember the exact details but what they do in order is: 1. Shave the entire back of your head and shave off 1 cm from the front of the head; the latter is done to increase the volume of hair at the front of your head in a natural-looking manner. They won't need to cut the hair at your sides or at the top of your head though. 2. They sedate the entire back of your head while you lie flat on your stomach on a stretcher. Anyway, after sedating your head, it will feel as if turned to stone lmao. The hair extraction is not painful and I was asleep through most of it. They took around 2000 hair follicles (3000 individual hair strands) from the back of my head within like 3 hours I think. 3. Afterwards they clean and bandage the back of your head, and then they sedate the front area of your head. While the sedation kicks in, you get a lunch break with delicious food. 4. For the next 3 hours or so, you'll be lying on your back on the stretcher. The nurse will hand the surgeon one follicle at a time and he will insert it into the front of your head. It's not painful but definitely a weird feeling. If you feel some pain, the surgeon will sedate that area more. The surgeon I had was really easy to talk to. We talked about anime for an hour or so while he did the transplant lol. The nurse was also really nice and pleasant. 5. After that's over, the nurse will give you painkiller pills because the physical pain of the transplant will start to set in as the sedation wears off. The back of your head won't hurt much but oh my god the front will be excruciating lmao so take many painkillers. 6. Before you leave, they will give you this big spray bottle of saline which you are supposed to spray on the transplanted region every 30 minutes or something. I was in too much pain to do it myself so I had to ask my mother to do it. 7. For the next 2 weeks, you're supposed to spray the saline every 30 minutes. You don't need to spray it while you sleep of course. When you sleep, you might need to tie yourself up because you don't want your hands or the pillow or anything at all to touch the tranplanted region because it's extremely sensitive and fragile for that time. Also it will be incredibly painful to move your eyebrows or your forehead during this time so don't move them. 8. After a week, the transplanted region will be covered with scabs but don't try to scratch it as it should be allowed to fall away naturally. Don't workout or sweat either. They'll give you a booklet explaining everything to do and to avoid. 9. After 2 weeks, you can return to normal life. The new hairs will start growing by the 3rd week or so. 10. It's good if you could take Finasteride 1mg everday from then on to prevent any future hair loss. I paid a total of around Rs. 600,000 for the whole thing, including an advance payment of Rs. 50,000. It's a lot but this is a LIFETIME procedure. It was COMPLETELY worth the money, time, and pain imo. Also I want to seriously praise DHI Colombo for how insanely professional and ethical they were. They told me exactly what they will be doing, how they will be doing it, what can be realistically achieved, etc from the beginning. One time the main doctor felt like I was having second thoughts, so he offerred to refund me the entire Rs. 50,000 I had paid as an advance if I wanted to cancel the procedure. I declined and did the procedure but him asking me that really showed that he cared more about his patients than money. I have attached the "before vs after" photos below. The "before" photos were taken a month before the transplant while the "after" photos were taken almost 2 years after the procedure to see the final permanent effect. It definitely does not take 2 years for your hairline to look like the "after" photos though; it'll take like 3 to 4 months iirc."
"I recently did my hair transplant through DHI and the staff is very friendly dr Amila who perform the surgery is very talented and friendly person who done the surgery with precision and less pain. The tratment was not painful as I thought and could be able to perform my daily work as usual from next day(with relevant to the after care guide lines)"
"The experience of getting a hair transplant at DHI was really good. While the transplant was being done, I had the opportunity to have a little chat with Doctor Amila. We talked a lot about what is happening in the industry, especially about music and dubbing. 😄 Doctor Amila also has great confidence that he can sing! 😂But I didn't say much about it, because I didn't want to hurt DCA's feelings. But I have to say one thing… The transplant was done by the Doctor! 👏😂 What a fun dial. The whole process was really a good experience. I was able to stay very comfortable. The work went smoothly, with full fun, and the process was smooth and easy. If anyone is afraid of getting a transplant, don't be afraid. DHI does the job beautifully. Amila is a great doctor. Finally, I would like to thank the entire team at DHI for giving me this wonderful experience. Everyone took good care of me and did the job professionally. Good luck DHI"
