Even with the highest degree of male pattern alopecia (VII degree), there are 10 to 12 thousand follicular units left on the back of the head and behind the ears. Out of them, 6000 to 8000 follicular units can be taken for transplantation during one or several procedures. This amount of follicular units is sufficient for coverage of bald area of any size. Amount needed for achievement of certain cosmetic effect in individual patient is being determined during face-to-face consultation. The result depends on the structure of hair (diameter, colour, straightness etc.) rather than on the number of follicular units.
