What is the difference between 4500 and 5000 hair transplant procedures?

The difference between 4500 and 5000 hair transplant procedures lies in the quantity of transplanted hair follicles during the operation. In a 4500-follicle procedure, approximately 4500 individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and transplanted into balding or thinning areas. In a 5000-follicle procedure, this number increases to around 5000 follicles. The choice depends on the extent of hair loss and the desired coverage area. Typically, a higher follicle count provides greater coverage and density, making it suitable for individuals experiencing more significant hair loss. It is important to consult with a specialist to determine the appropriate follicle count.
