Hey guys

I'm about norwood 5.

Some clinics I've looked at are offering DHI treatments and FUE. Which will be more appropriate for someone like me ?

Thanks

How do you know if you are even a candidate for FUE? I researched it for years then went to a top surgeon in Belgium and he told me I didn't have the density for FUE. I would go to a top surgeon and see what your options are. You may not be a candidate for either one of them.

oral and topical minoxidil
oral castor oil
head massages (or microneedling, the goal is to draw blood to the scalp)
finasteride or dutasteride
no orgasming, no nicotine, no alcohol or dairy (to the best of your ability, discipline !!)

I bet u got on all those treatments just because of a slight mature hairline lmao. Ur really sick in the head. And stop spamming your regimen on every thread. This man looks for a hair transplant not turning into a woman like you.

why did you come to this site if you didn't want a solution that's actually conclusive? hair is much more valuable than either sex or alc
I have hair and I'm not willing to destroy my marriage and family over hair. The standard treatments available today are as far as I'm willing to go.
Do you have before and after pictures of your hair?
I come here like most people to see if anything new on the horizon and to try to help people from making bad decisions like going to Bosley at 24 for a hair transplant.

Both DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) are effective techniques, but for Norwood 5 cases—which involve extensive hair loss—the choice depends on individual goals, donor area quality, and the surgeon’s approach.

At La Densitae Clinic, here's how we guide patients:

FUE is usually more versatile for Norwood 5 cases. It allows us to extract a large number of grafts (often 3000–4000+) over one or multiple sessions, making it ideal for covering both the frontal and crown regions. It's also more scalable if future sessions are needed.

DHI uses a specialized implanter pen for direct graft placement, which may help with density and precision, especially in smaller areas like the hairline. But for extensive baldness, DHI may not always be practical if high graft numbers are required, unless the donor area is excellent.

Our recommendation:
  • For maximum coverage and flexibility, FUE is usually the better option for Norwood 5.
  • DHI can be used in combination for hairline detailing or small zones if needed.
Each case is unique, so we always suggest a detailed scalp assessment before finalizing the technique.

Happy to discuss your specific case if you have images or a graft requirement in mind.
