Scalp Unit Density refers to the number of hair follicles present per square centimeter of the scalp. This measurement is a critical factor in planning effective hair restoration procedures, as it determines the level of coverage and density achievable.

The assessment of scalp unit density begins with a thorough examination of both the donor and recipient areas. Surgeons use magnification tools and imaging technology to measure follicular density and identify areas requiring restoration.

In the recipient area, achieving optimal density involves balancing the placement of single-hair and multi-hair grafts to create a natural appearance. High-priority areas, such as the hairline and crown, often require increased density for enhanced aesthetics.

Patients benefit from careful planning based on scalp unit density, as it ensures that the restored hair blends seamlessly with existing hair. This precision-driven approach delivers natural and long-lasting results.
