How many hair grafts do I need for a transplant?

How many hair grafts do I need for a transplant? This is one of the most frequently asked questions when thinking about the possibility of a hair transplant. On the internet, you can find many sites and clinics that offer online calculation systems for hair grafts; the problem is that these very rarely coincide, leaving the patient with more questions than answers. So how can you be sure of the amount of hair grafts you really need?

The DHI Panama Hair Clinic will answer in detail so that you do not suffer again from the confusion and misunderstandings that this topic can generate.

WHAT are HAIR GRAFTs?

The hair grafts are the set of follicles that are re-inserted in the areas that suffer from hair loss in the scalp. Although inconspicuous, these follicles do not grow single, most people have follicles made up of hair groups of 4,3,2 and 1. This set of hairs that make up a follicle is what is grafted onto the head.

At DHI Panama, we have high quality standards and excellent results to meet, so unlike other clinics we do not cut the follicles to divide them and we keep them to a minimum when handled.

WHAT DETERMINES THE NUMBER OF GRAFTs I NEED FOR MY HAIR TRANSPLANT IN PANAMA?

As mentioned above, each hair graft can have follicles of 1, 2,3 4. But the amount of each one found in the donor area depends on each patient.

Some factors that influence the number of hairs per follicle in the patient are:

• Type of alopecia you have.
• Degree of loss that presents.
• Quality of the hair in the donor area.

Other determining factors for the success of hair grafting are:

• The technique to be used in the procedure: DHI, FUE or FUT.
• And the prediction that the specialist has about the future hair loss.

what is the hair graft AVERAGE IN A HAIR TRANSPLANT IN DHI PANAMA?

DHI Panama has one of the Top 5 hair transplant specialists in the DHI Medical Group clinic set (with more than 75 clinics worldwide). Dr. Vlieg attends treatment update conferences each year and the results of his skills can be seen throughout our results section. In addition to these factors, the strict surgical protocols that we maintain have allowed us to transplant an average of up to 6,000 hairs in one day.

Remember, many clinics misjudge the number of hairs to be transplanted, with the intention of removing as many hairs as possible to be able to  charge more money. In addition to being dishonest, you take the risk of permanently damaging your donor area.

Hair grafting is not only a technique but an art that goes hand in hand with it. The patented DHI implanter allows the specialist to transplant hair at the correct angle, depth and direction, guaranteeing a success rate of up to 97%.
