How Many Hair Transplants do I Need?

Ever wondered how many hair transplants are necessary to restore a receding front hairline or the crown of the scalp? The answer depends on the extent of your hair loss and the number of follicles required.

One Session, Maximum Results

Our goal is to complete your hair transplant in Lima, Peru in just one session whenever possible. Performing a large, first procedure has many benefits, including less downtime, a more uniform result, and fewer follow-up surgeries.

Advantages of a Virgin Scalp

When a scalp has never undergone surgery before, it is considered a virgin scalp. This offers two important advantages:

✅ Skin elasticity is intact, which allows grafts to be placed more easily and securely.
✅ The blood supply is fully preserved, enabling grafts to be placed close together without affecting their survival.

These factors significantly improve the outcome of your hair transplant treatment, ensuring stronger growth and a more natural appearance.

So, How Many Hair Transplants do I Need?

There are social reasons for performing the restoration quickly. The sooner the restoration is completed, the sooner the hair transplant patient has a full head of hair again and can focus on other, more important aspects of his or her life.

For this reason, our intention is to complete FUE hair transplant treatments on just one, single full day session under sedation. This is possible with the two cases which follow:

To restore the front receding hairline, between 2000 – 3000 grafts are required. This treatment takes approximately five hours, under sedation.

To restore the front receding hairline and also the crown of the head, this will require between 3000 – 4000 grafts. Expect the appointment to take 8 – 9 hours, under sedation.

In a case such as this, it is important the patient has sufficient donation area in order to restore such a huge amount of hair loss. Two sessions are sometimes required on two consecutive days.

Are There Other Options for Hair Transplants?

❌ Not really! The hair transplant itself is the only permanent solution to restore lost hair.

✅ However, to reinforce and give additional strength to the transplanted follicles, we recommend PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy as a powerful complement.

What is PRP and Why is it Important for Hair Transplants?

✅ PRP is obtained from your own blood, making it 100% natural and safe.
✅ A small sample is taken, centrifuged, and separated into components (red cells, white cells, plasma, platelets).
✅ The concentrated plasma, rich in growth factors, is applied to the scalp.

This plasma stimulates tissue repair, accelerates healing, and keeps transplanted hairs stronger and healthier.

PRP with Hair Transplants in Lima, Peru

✅ Recommended during the hair transplant procedure in Lima, Peru for better integration of the new follicles.
✅ Suggested once or twice a year after surgery to give long-term resistance to transplanted hair.
✅ Works as an excellent complement to FUT, FUE, or DHI techniques.

How Many Hair Transplants Do You Really Need?

✅ The number of sessions depends on your degree of hair loss and the quality of your donor area.
❌ There is no one-size-fits-all answer.
✅ The only way to know is through a personalized consultation with our specialist.
