What is the highest density in follicular units per square cm that can be achieved with a hair transplant?
This is a question that is commonly asked. Though it is certainly a valid question, one has to be careful what they do with the answer. Often, there are false assumptions that are made when it comes to density. Before I answer the question, therefore, allow me to point out some of these false assumptions.
All of the above are false. Listed below are a few things one must understand about hair transplantation and hair density.
In my opinion, the ideal hair transplant patient to receive super high density hair transplants are those patients who are older with low levels of hair loss. Transplanting hair densely packed in an area on a younger patient is risky since hair loss is unpredictable, and dense packed transplanted hair on an older person with extreme loss might leave a patient with unnatural balding pattern.
All quality hair transplant physicians who offer ultra refined follicular unit grafting, can achieve high level of densities when appropriate for the patient, up to approximately 80 follicular unit grafts per square cm.
However, I believe that patients shouldn’t get too hung up on the numbers. Whereas higher numbers sound ultra-impressive – it doesn’t signify a superior hair transplant. Instead, work with a quality hair transplant physician to determine the best course of action for you.
