Understanding Hair Transplants: Your Questions Answered
How Long Do Hair Transplants Last?
Hair transplants are typically considered a permanent solution to hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to balding, so they should continue to grow for a lifetime. However, it's important to understand that existing hair may continue to thin over time, which could necessitate additional procedures in the future.
Coverage and Graft Counts
Wondering how much area a certain number of grafts can cover? On average, 2000 grafts can restore hair to between one-third and half of the scalp. This estimate varies based on factors like hair density and individual characteristics.
The maximum number of grafts that can be transplanted in a single session depends on the chosen technique and individual factors. Generally, it ranges from 2000 to 4000 grafts.
If you're experiencing complete baldness, a full head transplant might require 4000 to 6000 grafts to achieve satisfactory coverage and density.
Pain and Discomfort
Thanks to modern techniques and local anesthesia, hair transplants are generally well-tolerated. While some discomfort is expected during and after the procedure, it's usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
