What can 1000 grafts cover?
1000 grafts typically covers early-stage hair loss or a receding hairline (Norwood scale 2-3). This is ideal for: filling in a receding hairline, adding density to the frontal area, or covering a small bald patch. Each graft contains 1-4 hair follicles, so 1000 grafts provides approximately 2000-3000 hairs.
Is 1000 grafts enough for me?
1000 grafts is suitable for patients with mild hair loss, early receding hairline, or those wanting to add density to a specific area. During your consultation, the surgeon will assess your hair loss pattern, donor hair density, and goals to determine if 1000 grafts is sufficient or if you need more.
How long does a 1000 graft procedure take?
A 1000 graft FUE procedure typically takes 4-6 hours. FUT may be slightly faster at 3-5 hours. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, and most patients can return home the same day.
What is the recovery time for 1000 grafts?
Initial recovery takes 7-10 days. Scabs fall off within 10-14 days. Most patients return to work after 5-7 days. Full results are visible at 12-18 months when all transplanted hairs have grown through their natural cycle.
