Hair statistics
Each microsurgical hair transplant performed using
the HSD method is fully personalised and designed
to achieve the best possible results for the patient.
That is why treatment varies so much from one individual
to the next.
Here are some interesting transplant statistics.
1 or 2 -> the number of hair
follicles removed and transplanted in one move.
Up to 2.000 -> the number of
hair follicles transplanted in one session.
From 1 to 4 hours -> the duration
of an average HSD hair transplant session.
2 -> the number of post-surgery
medications prescribed.
6 hours -> the average time
you spend in an HSD clinic.
7 days -> the time you normally
spend at home before returning to a normal social
life, required to eliminate the medication and wait
for the small scabs to fall off.
40 days -> the time you should
wait before exposing your head to the sun.
Generic hair statistics
100,000 -> the number of hairs
on the average head.
400 -> the average number of
follicles in 1 cm2 of scalp on a thirty year old
individual.
1,100 -> the average number
of follicles in 1 cm2 of scalp on a new born baby.
20 -> the number of hairs an
average bulb produces during its active life.
1 cm -> the monthly growth of
an average hair.
1 metre -> the maximum growth
that an average hair can reach in the anagen phase.
The actual figure varies significantly with sex
(women’s hair grows longer) and race.
50 microns -> the thickness
of an average hair: fair hairs are visibly thinner
than dark hairs.
