No. Each follicular unit graft contains 1 to 4 hairs. This means if a patient has a 2,000 grafts implanted in one session, he may potentially have upwards of 6,000+ hairs transplanted.

The largest number of grafts the Hair Transplant Center can implant at one time may vary between 2,500 and 3,000. Larger mega sessions then this are rare since your doctor medical staff needs to allow adequate room in between each new hair graft for blood supply. In a subsequent hair transplant procedure, our doctor and staff can then implant new grafts in between the hair grafts from the first session to provide greater density and fullness.

In the first place this depends on the size of the donor area and on the possible existence of scars. Also the bleeding, hair color and the structure of the skin are important factors. In a normal progress of the treatment a minimum of 600 grafts (average of 2-3 hairs each graft) will be transplanted, the numbers can run up to 700-800.

The amount of grafts you will need ultimately depends on your degree of hair loss, now and in the future, and on how full you desire your hair to be.

Yes, within 10 days to 2 weeks following the procedure, the newly transplanted hairs fall out. It is only the piece of hair though and the tissue with the growth information remains.

Dr. Jones can do up to 2000 microscopically created grafts in a session. Each graft is an individual hair follicle, or can include up to 4 hairs.

We can provide a general estimate, but the doctor will inform you of the exact number he recommends. The answer depends on the desired density and the size of the balding area.

In one treatment 30-35 grafts can be placed in a cm_ (in an entirely bald area). The density can be increased in a next treatment with a maximum of approximately 50 grafts per cm_. By an average of 2-3 hairs each graft, the maximum hair density could be 125 hairs per cm_.

Certainly not. Take a good look at the grafts below. These are examples of of what are considered to be typical grafts. The photo is published in a recent textbook of Cosmetic Dermatology. Now compare the craftsmanship to The Hair Loss Center grafts pictured below them. Note the uniformity, precision, and attention to detail. Great looking grafts translate to great looking transplants!

In principle all of the placed grafts will grow. However, the first days after the treatment the grafts are the most vulnerable and some of them can get lost. You can reduce this to a minimum by following our instructions.

It is because this technique is using the donor area of which carries the characteristics of the ??Donor Dominance?? which means that no matter where the follicle has been transplanted to, the attribute of ??continuously grow and never falling?? will still be retained.

ndash;4 terminal (full thickness) hair follicles. Dr. Kurgis transplants hair in the same 'bundle" in which they grew previously. Individual hairs are often best for the frontal hairline and in "transition" zones where bald and hair bearing areas meet. However, density is achieved by placing naturally-occurring follicular groups that will provide the most coverage. Hair "plugs" are a thing of Dr.

Generally, hair transplantation is very reliable and 95-99% will regrow when performing smaller procedures. 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. However, it remains very controversial because the hair type is different and the "yield" of extraction is low, compared to scalp hair. This makes it still a very expensive last resort.

Any good follicular unit micrografting specialist, who puts large number of densely packed grafts, would charge for the actual number of such grafts transplanted. This is the most time tested and transparent criteria. However, many surgeons try to learn the technique by hit & trial on their patients. For achieving this, they usually charge a lumpsum amount as they themselves are not sure of the number of grafts they would be finally be able to transplant.

Nu/Hart can place up to 3000 grafts in one session using the traditional strip method, or up to 1000 using NeoGrafting or follicular unit extraction.

No. Currently, there is no way to transplant a whole eye. However, corneas have been successfully transplanted for many years.

You will only pay for what you receive during your hair transplantation or repair procedure. If you do not receive the number of grafts that you were scheduled for, a refund will be issued.

Unlike other forms of hair removal, Epilight leaves you free from any form of ingrown hair. In fact, Photo-epilation is particularly effective in treating ingrown hairs.

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.

Yes. You will only pay for what you receive during your hair transplant or corrective work. If your final number of grafts falls short of the scheduled amount; a refund will be issued.

In most cases, we do not have an equal ratio of the sexes. However, because we encourage changing of partners, every student has a chance to execute their newly-learnt dance patterns on a number of partners to attain perfection. This is practised in most dance schools both nationwide and worldwide.

There are several factors that determine how many grafts can be transplanted in one session. Everything from how large the bald and thinning area is to how loose the individual scalp is to how many follicular units reside in a given area. It's why a consultation is so important to determine the cost of the procedure. Even hair texture plays an important role. If you have thick,coarse hair, you may not need as many grafts harvested as someone with fine, thin hair.

Unlike conventional PTFE grafts which can not be accessed for a period of two to six weeks following surgery, the Vectra graft has self-sealing properties which enable the Vectra graft to be used for dialysis almost immediately after implantation since the graft seals itself after needle removal. Additionally, its self-sealing design reduces hemostasis time (the time it takes for bleeding to stop after needle removal) in comparison with PTFE grafts.

Can a portrait painter create a better portrait with a house painter's equipment i.e. by using a roller rather than a brush? The use of an artist's brush is analogous to the use of very small grafts. High-quality hair transplants require fine instruments and delicate, small grafts. These grafts must be distributed in a way that balances the facial features, hair characteristics, and goals of the individual patient.

No. Both newborns and senior citizens have been donors. Physical condition, not a person's age, determines suitability to be a donor. Because of disease or other problems, some people wishing to donate may be ruled medically unsuitable. This determination is best made by transplant specialists at the time someone wishing to be a donor has died.

Transplantation of retina tissue involves the task of connecting approximately 1.2 million photoreceptor nerve fibers to the optic nerve in precise order. This task is insurmountable at this time. It is possible to transplant fetal retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) to nourish and protect the photoreceptors, but this does not prevent or inhibit the damaging neovascular process of macular degeneration. Retinal and RPE transplantation is currently of experimental value only.
