How Many Grafts of Hair Can Be Transplanted in One Session?

The transferred tissues are called grafts. In other words, they are the hair follicles to be transplanted. Hair transplantation prices are regulated according to the number of grafts in the centers, and the session is the number of transplantation procedures to be applied to the person. On average, the desired transplant result can be achieved in one session, but as a result of sessions that are not sufficient, 2-3 more sessions can be applied to the person.

Hair transplantation is an important operation and many reasons affect the process of this operation. First of all, the number of sessions and the method to be used in hair transplantation are determined by the hair density of the person, the more the hair density of the patient, the more hair follicles (grafts) to be taken. However, if the hair is sparse, the root to be taken decreases accordingly. The more grafts are taken and transplanted in the hair transplantation process, the more natural the result will be, but irregular roots to be taken from the donor area in order to plant more roots may cause sparseness in that area, in this case, it creates an image disorder.

The number of grafts to be taken in hair transplantation also varies according to hair transplantation methods. The roots to be taken in the Fut method are related to the looseness of the scalp in the nape of the person and the density of the hair. Since the roots are taken and transplanted collectively in the Fut method, 2000 – 3000 grafts can be taken and transplanted.

In the Fue technique, the roots are taken one by one and transplanted one by one. It is a longer procedure than the Fut method. It can take an average of 6-9 hours and the number of roots taken in a single session is around 3000-4500 grafts. However, if the desired result is not achieved after the procedure, the 2nd and 3rd sessions are applied to reach the desired amount of follicles.

One of the most important issues in hair transplantation is to take hair follicles without damaging them and not to create sparseness in the donor area. In the Fue method, if the hair density in the donor area is high, 3000 grafts can be taken around 2000 grafts if the hair density is low. Of course, taking 3000 or more hair follicles in one session is a laborious task, it is very important for the patient to be patient and for the doctor and his team to be experienced, skilled and professional. For this reason, the transplantation center and doctor should be chosen well. What is important in hair transplantation is how many of these grafts become permanent hair strands rather than the number of grafts. The hair follicle is a tissue that requires a lot of care and if care is not taken, the tissues may die. It is very important that the doctor who will perform hair transplantation performs the application without damaging the hair follicles, and placing the grafts at certain angles and correctly in the channels will directly affect the result. The grafts can be single, double and triple hair follicles, thus 2-3 times more hair strands are obtained than the number of grafts taken.

If hair transplantation is performed in the right hands and in the right way, the desired amount of grafts can be reached in 6-9 hours in one session, and the experience, talent and dexterity of the doctor who will perform the transplantation process are very important in this.
