Why can't we harvest MORE than the typical 6-8,000 grafts from the donor region? If we need around 12,000 grafts to reach normal prebalding densities and average density of Caucasian hair is 85 grafts/cm2, why can't we take off around 45 grafts/cm2 from the entire donor area and move it all to the top?
If a human head contains about 100,000 hairs, thats 40,000 grafts. If 200cm/2 is the normal bald area of a mans scalp, then this requires about 12,000 grafts for densities that show no visible hair loss, but on average we have 80grafts/cm2, which means prebalding we'd have around 16,000 grafts there... so that means, outside of the 200cm/2 area we have 24,000 grafts to harvest from. So why can't we use up ALL the available hairs and cut it down to HALF the density on back and sides, which gives us, 12,000 grafts.
Since Pilofocus is supposed to be completely scarless and success rates are to be much higher, I expect Pilofocus to be able to achieve this. THOUGHTS?
