multiple sessions

Multiple sessions in hair transplantation refer to undergoing more than one procedure to achieve the desired hair coverage, density, or results.

This approach may be recommended for several reasons, including:

1. Coverage Area: For patients with extensive hair loss, a single session may not provide full coverage. Multiple sessions allow the surgeon to strategically cover larger areas over time.

2. Desired Density: Achieving high-density results in one session can be challenging. Multiple sessions give surgeons flexibility to add density gradually without overwhelming the scalp’s blood supply, which supports better healing and graft survival.

3. Natural Results: For certain patients, layering grafts over multiple sessions can create a more natural look, allowing surgeons to assess growth from the previous transplant before proceeding.

4. Graft Availability: The number of available grafts depends on the donor area’s capacity. Some patients may need to wait for donor hair to “regenerate” or heal before undergoing another session.

5. Gradual Transformation: Patients who prefer a gradual change to maintain a natural appearance over time may opt for multiple sessions.

Each session typically involves a similar process
— graft extraction (FUE or DHI), preparation, and implantation
— but planning and expectations are adjusted based on previous results and remaining hair loss.
