There is no way to say if the density would be "enough" because everyone has their own standard in what is "enough".  1500 may be enough for someone but may not be enough for you if you have a different set of expectation.  This is something you need to clear up with your doctor (ideally before surgery).

Hello,The donor area after FUE, whether by hand or ARTAS, takes some time to heal.  Most patients heal atraumatically over a period of weeks.  As your hairs begin to grow, the donor area becomes harder to see.  Daily washes with mild soap can help keep the donor area clean.  If scabs form, mild soap and water can be helpful.  We use PRP in the donor area to facilitate healing as well.  Best, Anil Shah

İt should be done denser than that...You may need a revision for denser hair.  You may start to wash your transplant area at second day of surgery with care and massage the transplant area gently so the scabs will fall off... After two weeks of hair transplantation  it is acceptable  to wash hairs as normal /preoperative period of surgery. All scabs should be cleaned with pressured (not gentle) massage to transplant area  after 2 weeks .Dont forget that you may wash your head with normal pressure and if you need you can use a wet towel with soap for massage the scabby area, it Works very well to remove scabs .Patient may feel free to loosen any scabs on his/her head by massaging and that will not  damage the grafts after 2 weeks .

1 week after 1400 grafts and it looks fine. The results will take about 8 months , on average, for 80% of the results to show
