Hair transplant is a relatively safe procedure, and the benefits are many. One such benefits include denser and natural-looking hair. However, there is a lot of confusion about hair density and how it is achieved in a hair transplant. This article will clear up some of that confusion.
Hair density is the amount of hair per square inch in a hair follicle. Several factors can affect density, including age, race, and genetics.
Hair density is lower in thin hair and higher in thick hair.
How is Hair Density Achieved in a Hair Transplant?
Hair density is achieved in a hair transplant by harvesting hairs from different areas of the scalp and combining them. This will create a denser hair transplant result.
What are the Differences Between Hair Density and Hair Thickness?
There are a few key differences between hair density and hair thickness. Hair density measures the number of hair follicles per square inch of skin, while hair thickness is a measure of the total length of hair. Density is more important when considering hair transplants because it affects how many hairs can be transplanted. For example, if you have very low hair density, only a few grafts can be used to cover the entire bald area. If you have a high hair density, more grafts can cover the same area, resulting in a more natural-looking result.
There are many reasons why someone may want denser hair.
