The scalp has an approximate area of 500 cm2 (23 by 23 cms. Which is equal to 50000 mm2) and an average of 200 hairs per cm2 (80 to 100 Units, Follicular). Thus the non-bald scalp has an mm2 follicular unit and since each unit has an average of two hairs, then the total number of hair is around 100,000. These numbers vary depending on the patient and race.

At most, 50% of the hair donor area (occipital and temporal regions) can be removed so they do not look thin. In theory, in cases of moderate male pattern baldness (types V or VI), 12.5% of the scalp is safely available for transplantation, ie, 12,500 hair or approximately 3000 to 4000 follicular units.
The appearance of fullness has to do with the hair but which is related to the number of hairs, thickness of the individual strands of hair | texture, color and its ripple. In addition, the color contrast between the scalp and hair also has a significant influence on the illusion of fullness.

Most experts agree that the average capillary density in patients cabellos/cm2 bald is 200 (+ / - 70) and that only 50% of this number is required to achieve a semblance of normal density , ie 100 cabellos/cm2 (+ / - 35), or what is the same as an average of 45 FUs per cm2.
