Coverage with FUE

I’ve heard that 20 to 40 fue per centimeter is recommended.Is this true? Does this give someone enough coverage? What do you recommend? I hope I asked the question correctly.

Thank You

This is a good, but difficult question to answer. What you are really asking is: “What density of follicular units is enough to give you good coverage?” Whatever the harvesting mechanism used, (FUE or standard strip harvesting) the amount of density achieved reflects fullness as modified by hair and skin color, hair thickness of each hair shaft, and the character of the hair (curly or straight). The health of the scalp determines just how close you can place the grafts (for scalp that is atrophic and lost its infrastructure of blood vessels, glandular structures and fat less densities are often better).

The normal density of a person is 100 follicular units per square centimeter (200 hairs), so clearly the amount that is placed will depend upon what you buy, the size of the balding area, etc. For blonde people, low density is often able to look full, while in a black hair person with white skin, higher densities are often needed.
