How Many Roots Should Be Planted Per Cm2 in Hair Transplantation?

Hair follicle density in hair transplantation is usually expressed as “graft/cm²” or “follicle/cm²”. This measurement indicates the density of hair follicles in the area of hair transplantation. However, the density of the hair here varies according to the hair quality and hair loss status of the person, their suitability for hair transplantation and the calicity of the hairy area.

The hair density in the donor area of the person who will have hair transplantation is evaluated and decides how many hair follicles will be planted according to the size of the area to be transplanted. The number of roots to be transplanted per cm² is generally evaluated by the hair transplant specialist according to the density of the hair in the area to be transplanted and is determined in line with the patient’s preferences.

During the analysis, our Doctor and Specialist decides how many roots will be taken from the donor area, depending on the hair density of the area to be transplanted, the aperture of the forehead and the quality of the roots. For this reason, the number of roots to be planted per cm² may vary according to the individual situation and the region to be planted.

It is not possible to give an exact number about hair transplantation. Because this is an issue that requires a completely personal evaluation. Therefore, it is important to see a specialist and evaluate your hair loss situation and your suitability for transplantation in order to get a more successful result.
