The amount of hair represented by 5000 grafts can vary significantly depending on various factors such as the thickness of individual hair, the density of the hair in the donor area, and the technique used for transplantation. As a rough estimate, 5000 grafts typically correspond to around 10,000 to 15,000 individual hairs.
Keep in mind that a graft can contain varying numbers of hairs. In hair transplantation, a graft usually refers to a small cluster of hair follicles that are harvested from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and transplanted to the recipient area (where hair loss has occurred). The number of hairs per graft can range from 1 to 4 or more, depending on the characteristics of the donor hair.
When considering 5000 grafts, it’s not just about the number of grafts but also about the total number of individual hairs that will be transplanted.
