Gender
Compare to the male hair loss pattern, female hair loss usually has diffused pattern, lower donor site density, and tighter scalp and shed more hair after surgery. Women can only use certain medication and have higher expectation than men.
We have different approaches to different gender.
Age
For mature people, hair restoration might be the only concern.
But for the young one, in addition to restoring the hair, preventing further hair loss is a very important issue. Because hair transplantation can not prevent hair loss.
Hair Loss Size
If the hair loss size is small then we can try to finish the surgery in one session.
If the size is huge then we will emphasize on how to use limited donor hair effectively.
Hair Loss Pattern/Location
Frontal area is always the most important part since people can see it right away. No matter how old you are, you need a decent hair on the frontal area.
If you have hair loss on the hairline/frontal region, surgery is the only choice.
For the vertex area, you have option for medication or surgery.
From your gender, age, hair loss size, location, and expectation, we will decide on the medication, surgery or combination treatment, the ratio of different graft size and the density of transplantation.

How many surgeries do I need?
The goal for hair transplant is to increase density and look natural. Today, the size of graft is very small and we can transplant very closely without any problem. A natural look can be easily achieved, so the only problem is the density.
To look natural you do not need 100% density.
For the frontal area, ninety percent of the patients will be satisfied by 50% to 70% of donor site density (include your own existing density). Since human eyes cannot tell the difference between 50% -70% and 100% density, therefore, after we reach the 50%-70% density goal, the donor site (100% density) and recipient site (50%-70% density) should look very natural and harmonious.
The vertex area needs 70% to 90% of donor density (include your own existing density).
If you have a completely bald area, it may take two or three surgeries to cover. If you have an area partially covered with hair, it may take only one surgery to fill in the area.
For a large area, we increase 25% to 35% of the donor’s original density in each surgery. After two surgeries, the density is at about 50 to 70 % which is often adequate coverage to satisfy the patient. The time between each session is usually four to six months in order to see how the hair is growing out and to provide more equal distribution.
For the smaller areas in the hairline region, we can increase 40% to 45% density in one surgery.
We use an easy way to ensure that you will receive the promised donor site density.
Here is an example:
If we want to transplant 35% donor site density to cover a balding/thinning area of 80-cm2, we need to remove a 28-cm2 strip of donor skin. (80 cm2 x 35% =28 cm2)
We then divide the 28-cm2 strip of donor skin into small grafts and implant them to the 80-cm 2 coverage areas. This way you will receive a 35% density increase in the recipient area.
