How accurate is the hair transplant simulation?

The simulation models graft placement using Poisson-disk distribution at clinically realistic densities (25-50 grafts/cm²). It accounts for natural hair direction, angle, and density gradients from front to crown.

What is the difference between FUE and DHI?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) extracts individual grafts for later implantation. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a Choi pen for simultaneous extraction and implantation. Both achieve similar results; DHI may allow slightly higher density. Our simulator models final results regardless of technique.

How many grafts will I need?

Graft requirements depend on the area of hair loss and desired density. Typical ranges: hairline (800-1,500 grafts), crown (1,000-2,500 grafts), full head (3,000-5,000 grafts). The simulator lets you adjust graft count to visualize different coverage levels.

When will I see final results?

Hair transplants show minimal growth for 3-4 months (shock loss phase), early growth at 4-6 months, significant improvement at 8-10 months, and full results at 12-18 months. Our timeline slider shows this progression.

Overview

Hair transplantation involves extracting hair follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) and implanting them into thinning or bald areas. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) accounts for 75% of all procedures — individual follicles are extracted with a micro-punch (0.6–1.0mm). FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) removes a strip of scalp for graft dissection. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a Choi implanter pen for simultaneous extraction and placement.

Typical graft counts range from 1,500 to 5,000 per session. Natural scalp density is 60–80 follicular units per cm², with transplanted density goals of 30–50 FU/cm². Graft survival rates reach 90–98% for FUE. Hair grows approximately 1cm per month, with visible results at 6–12 months post-procedure.

Our simulator lets you design your new hairline shape, select coverage zones, adjust graft density, and preview results across an 18-month growth timeline.

Pros & Cons

Pros

+Permanent, natural-looking results with 90%+ graft survival rates (FUE)
+Multiple technique options: FUE, DHI, and FUT for different needs
+Modern FUE and DHI leave minimal to no visible scarring
+One-time procedure for most patients
+DHI recovery can be as short as 3–5 days

Cons

−Results take 6–12 months to fully appear as follicles go through shedding and regrowth
−Limited by donor hair availability — extensive baldness may not have enough donor follicles
−FUT leaves a linear scar visible with short haircuts
−Does not stop ongoing hair loss — may need additional medical treatment
−Expensive ($3,000–$15,000+) and typically not covered by insurance

Who Is This For?

Men and women experiencing pattern hair loss (Norwood 2-6), with sufficient donor hair density on the back and sides of the scalp.
