Buy Cheap, Pay Twice

A cheap hair transplant with an unlimited number of grafts sounds appealing. But if you care about how you look, think it over carefully.

An unlimited number of grafts!

Your donor hair is not unlimited. The average person has around 10,000 grafts in the safe donor area. Of those, a maximum of 5,000 can be transplanted without leaving visible hair loss in your donor area. That is because hair loss only becomes visible to the eye once you have lost more than 50% of the hairs in that area.

In an FUE hair transplant your hairs are transplanted. That means the hairs are moved from one area to another. The hair that is moved then grows in the new area for life. Unfortunately, then, the myths about an unlimited number of grafts from your donor area are simply not true.

If you use up all of your precious grafts now, you will unfortunately have none left for your future hair loss. That means you will always have one area covered with hair and another left uncovered, because your donor area has been stripped bare.

Your future hair loss also has to be taken into account when choosing the right density. Unfortunately we often see cases coming in for a repair treatment where the density was not chosen correctly. As a result you end up with a lot of hair in one area and only a few thin hairs in another.

Coarse scarring and an irreparable donor area

You can imagine why an FUE hair transplant leaves virtually no scars. That is because we use very small hollow punches to move your grafts. In doing so we make sure that areas of hair always remain around the hair that is removed. If too many grafts are harvested in one treatment, the small holes that are drilled will connect with one another. The small wounds then unfortunately become one larger wound. This leaves your donor area with coarse, irreparable scarring. And that is the very last thing you want, isn’t it?

Quality care takes time

You can also imagine that the more grafts are transplanted, the longer the treatment ought to take. Yet unfortunately that is not always the case. So ask yourself the following: how can that be?

If too high a number of grafts has to be transplanted in one treatment, it takes time. More time than is available in a single-day treatment. That means the harvesting is rushed and several grafts are removed at once per extraction. This can permanently damage your precious grafts. And with too high a number of grafts there is also not enough time in a single-day treatment to check every graft for quality, thickness, number of hairs and colour. As a result you may end up with thick, multi-hair grafts placed in your hairline. Or with hairs that have been permanently damaged by rushed work. You may have received a high number of grafts. But ask yourself how many of them will actually grow into hairs.
