How many grafts do I need?
The number of grafts you will need depends on the extent of your hair loss and your desired results. Your surgeon will be able to give you a more accurate estimate during your consultation. Generally, patients who are just beginning to experience hair loss may only need around 1,000 grafts, while those with more advanced hair loss may need 2,000 or more.
How much area do 2000 grafts cover?
2000 grafts can cover an area of up to 2 cm². This will depend on the size and shape of the donor area and the recipient site. It is important to consult with a hair transplant specialist to determine how many grafts you will need to achieve your desired results.
What is the success rate of hair transplants?
The success rate of hair transplants is quite high. With modern techniques, the vast majority of patients (80-90%) are very satisfied with their results. However, it is important to keep in mind that individual results may vary. Some patients may require more than one transplant procedure to achieve their desired results.
What is the difference between transplanted hair and normal hair?
The transplanted hair is indistinguishable from normal healthy hair. The only difference is that transplanted hair is not subject to the same genetic factors that cause baldness or hair loss. Therefore, once transplanted, this hair will continue to grow for a lifetime just like the rest of your hair.
What is the average cost of a hair transplant?
The average cost of a hair transplant can vary depending on the number of grafts transplanted, the method used, and the location of the procedure. Typically, patients can expect to pay anywhere from $4,000 to $15,000 for a hair transplant. Consult with a hair transplant specialist to get an estimate of how much your procedure will cost.
Is financing available for hair transplants?

What is the difference between body hair and head hair transplants?
Body hair transplants (BHT) involve harvesting donor hair from other areas of the body, such as the chest, back, or legs. This type of transplant is typically used for patients who do not have enough head hair to harvest for a traditional head hair transplant. BHT can also be used to camouflage scarring from previous surgeries or injuries. Head hair transplants (HHT) involve harvesting donor hair from the head, typically from the back or sides of the scalp. This type of transplant is the most common and is typically used to treat baldness or hair loss on the head.
