I would appreciate if anyone can answer my question. How many hair grafts do I need to have a decent looking hair, with the help of DermMatch and Toppik? I only want to have a nice hairstyle, which I can't achieve at the moment. Not even simple hairstyles work with me. I have some type of diffuse thinning, which I hope is not DUPA, and I'm planning to visit a good doctor in America/Europe after doing my research. Age: 26 Family history: My father, who is 47 years old, looks like a NW6 person.

Answer: How many grafts do I need? The way I quantify hair graft needs is based on area. In an area devoid of any hair, I need 350 grafts per square inch. In an area with some hair and scalp is easily seen, I need 300 grafts per square inch. In an area with hair and scalp is not easily seen, I need 250 grafts per square inch. A square inch is slightly larger than a postage stamp. You can measure it yourself. See how many postage stamps fit on the area you want thickened. Based on the photos, I feel you need 250 grafts per square inch. It looks like 12 square inches roughly. Therefore I would estimate your need as 3000 grafts.

Answer: 26 year old male with balding You need to be assessed with a one on one consultation with a doctor to answer your questions. Maybe the drug finasteride alone might handle your problem but it would take a year to find out. The presence of DUPA requires a microscopic examination of your donor area. I wrote the original article on DUPA and define the term in the medical literature.
