What percentage of the original transplanted grafts will regrow?

Rogers Medical | Hair Transplants & Cosmetics

On large procedures, 3000+ grafts, this regrowth rate is known to drop to 85%, so caution is advised before considering these. Body hair can be transplanted to the scalp and it will grow.

Will all the hairs be gone after one treatment?

Yael Halaas M.D.
No, since the hairs in a region can go into a resting phase, laser treatments need to be repeated monthly over a period of 4-5 months to insure that the maximal number of hairs have absorbed the laser energy effectively. Some areas need only three treatments. You will be better able to determine the number of treatments and the time of your consultation.

Do I need to grow my hairs for the treatment?

Yael Halaas M.D.
No. The laser is designed to pass through the skin surface and treat the hair root under the skin. It is much less effective if the hair is long and above the skin. Please shave before your appointment. Do not pluck, tweeze or use a depilatory cream however for three weeks prior to your laser appointment because you will remove the hair root which the laser needs to treat you effectively.

Ellipse IPL treatment destroys the hair follicles but the hairs remain in the follicles and are often attached to the epidermis. They will fall out after 1-3 weeks as the epidermis is renewed. During this period it will seem that the hairs are growing as the epidermis pulls them out. It is possible to show that the hair will fall out, by easily lifting it out with tweezers.

How many grafts will I get?

PAI - Hair transplant balding hair loss solutions hair trans...
One graft does not mean one hair. The PAI physician will harvest grafts with anywhere from one to five hairs, depending on the area of distribution, thus, 1200 grafts will mean an average of 5000 to 8000 hairs. This number of grafts, well distributed, will produce a natural hairline and the desired density and coverage. Be aware that when more than 1200 grafts are taken, or if the surgery takes longer than 4 hours, the percentage of successful growth may be drastically reduced.
