The technique

FUE, DHI, and the step beyond: FUI

Most clinics offer one of two methods. FUI is the next step that combines the strengths of both, then adds the ability to work through your existing hair.

FUE

Follicular units are extracted individually from the donor area, leaving no linear scar. Sites are then created and the grafts placed as a separate step.

DHI

A Choi implanter creates the site and places the graft in a single motion, giving the surgeon close control over depth, angle, and direction.

FUI, our method

Precision extraction combined with direct implantation, using the Choi implanter to work through your existing hair. That last capability is what makes the Long Hair Transplant possible.

Signature option

The Long Hair (Unshaven) Transplant

Because FUI works through existing hair, most patients do not need their head shaved or cut at all. You arrive with your hair as normal, and you leave with that same hair already covering the treated areas.

The power of rotation

Why three surgeons, not one

A single surgeon working a long case tires, and precision drifts with fatigue. Three surgeons work in short, focused shifts, like relay runners, so the surgeon operating at any given moment is fresh.
The practical effect is consistency: the precision of the 2,500th graft matches the precision of the first.
This rotation is what lets us meet the standard set in The 6-Hour Rule without cutting corners.
Who holds the punch

Surgeons, not technicians

In many high-volume clinics, technicians perform much of the extraction and placement while a surgeon supervises several rooms. A career surgeon accumulates a depth of judgement, across thousands of cases and complications, that a technician's role is not built to develop.
At Dr. Top, every graft is extracted and placed by a board-certified surgeon. That is the standard, on every case.

The guarantee

Every graft, every case, placed by a surgeon

Not a technician working under supervision, and not a trainee. Three board-certified surgeons share your procedure from the first extraction to the last placement.

Common questions

3 Doctors FUI, answered

FUI (Follicular Unit Implantation) focuses on the implantation phase of hair transplantation – how grafts are placed for optimal survival and natural appearance. While FUE describes the extraction method, FUI emphasizes precision placement using custom-sized instruments matched to each follicular unit. At Dr. Top Hair Hospital, FUI is part of the 3 Doctors FUI protocol – three certified surgeons working in coordinated rotation using next-generation implantation technique, including Long Hair (Unshaven) Transplant capability.

Yes – FUI works beautifully across a wide range of hair types, including straight, wavy, and curly hair in Caucasian, Asian, and Afro-textured textures. With over 10,000 procedures across diverse ethnicities, Dr. Top adapts the technique to suit your specific hair.

FUI uses micro-punch extraction that leaves only tiny dot-like marks in the donor area – these heal and become virtually invisible within weeks. There’s no linear scar like the older strip-harvesting (FUT) method, and the Long Hair Transplant further conceals everything beneath your existing hair.

It lets you have a complete transplant without shaving or cutting your hair. You arrive with your hair as it normally is and leave with existing hair covering the treated areas. Transplanted long hairs are visible immediately, giving an instant preview of the result. It is one of the most requested features of a transplant at Dr. Top.

Of course! While the Long Hair (Unshaven) Transplant is our most popular choice, some patients prefer – or are better suited to – a traditional shaved approach. Either way, you get the same 3 Doctors FUI technique and the full Dr. Top Protocol.

Cost. Technicians are cheaper than qualified surgeons, which raises margins per procedure. In the high-volume model, a named surgeon often designs the hairline and supervises while technicians perform extraction and implantation. We believe the hands on your scalp should belong to qualified surgeons, on every case.

No – the three surgeons work in rotation, not all at once. Each one takes a short, focused shift at peak concentration, then steps out for a break while a colleague takes over. Think of it like a relay team – fresh hands at every stage.

A single surgeon or technician simply can’t work fast enough and precisely enough to complete a meaningful graft count in six hours. Three experienced surgeons rotating through focused shifts bring both the speed of deep expertise and the sharpness that comes from staying fresh.
