How can hairs be transplanted densely?

Normally, there are 70-100 follicular units per square centimeters (FU/cm²) in scalp. According to the results of scientific studies, hair loss becomes noticeable when hair density decreases by 50%. This may also be termed as “felt density”,which is different from mathematical density.

Hair with a normal density is made up of 70-100 follicular units per centimeter (FU/cm²). According to the results obtained in scientific studies, hair loss becomes visible when the number of hairs decreases by 50%. This may also be termed as “felt density”,which is different from mathematical density.

According to this result, in a hair restoration operation, 50 follicular units per centimeter will be enough. If the donor site allows it, “Dense Packing” is used in Transmed. That is to say, a maximum number of hair follicles are transplanted to a recipient area, which means transplanting more than 65 follicles per centimeter.

“Optic density” is not solely dependent upon the growth rate or the curls but the structure of the hair together with the surgeon’s ability to carefully plan follicular unit distribution beforehand.

That is why while some patients need less than 30 follicular units per centimeter for a more natural and denser result, some others need more than 65 follicular units per cm for a natural apperance.

For a natural look, how the channels where follicular units are placed are opened and the instruments used in this procedure are of crucial significance. In Transmed, we get the most natural results using Micro Lateral Incision technique.
