Methods and the number of clinics offering each here
| Method | Clinics | How grafts are taken | Donor area afterwards |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUE | 5 | Small round punches remove single follicular units one at a time | Small dot scars appear across the donor area, with no line |
| Sapphire FUE | 0 | This name belongs to the clinic and refers to FUE. It uses sapphire-tipped blades for the recipient cuts. | As FUE |
| DHI | 0 | This is the name the clinic gives its FUE method. An implanter pen places the grafts. | As FUE |
| FUT | 2 | Under a microscope, scalp from a removed strip is cut into units. | One linear scar results, usually hidden by hair above it. |
| Robotic | 0 | FUE with a robot-guided punch | As FUE |
No linear donor scar remains after FUE. By day 7–10, crusts usually disappear (Front Med 2026 review). Across 820 advanced FUE cases, scalp harvest averaged 2,956 grafts per case (Chouhan 2019 study). Only clinics here count if their own site names the method.
Graft counts used in published cases by Norwood stage
On the Norwood scale, male hair loss starts at I (none) and ends at VII, when only a band remains at the back and sides. Neither series provides a quote for your scalp; both report the graft counts surgeons actually used.
| Norwood stage | Grafts used | Men |
|---|---|---|
| II | 500–1,000 | 15 |
| III | 1,000–1,800 | 63 |
| IV | 1,500–3,300 | 67 |
| V | 1,500–4,000 | 13 |
Source: table 2 in Wang et al., BMC Surgery 2024. The men received FUE, and there were 158.
| Stage V–VII, area covered | Average grafts | Men |
|---|---|---|
| Front only | 2,982 | 308 |
| Front and mid-scalp | 4,164 | 352 |
| Crown only | 2,770 | 24 |
| Full coverage | 6,237 | 100 |

A stage by itself does not determine the graft count. In one study, two men graded Norwood 3V needed 3,900 and 6,150 grafts after their bald areas were measured (Pittella et al., 2024), so any quote given before your scalp is measured is guesswork.
Before you book, settle these five points
- Ask who handles each step, from making the incisions to taking and placing grafts. Find the names, then check them in the public register run by the national medical council.
- Ask for a written plan stating the graft count, zones, and price for that count.
- Ask the clinic to show its own patients at 12 months, using the same light and angle. Results show up at six to nine months for most people, and at 12 for some (AAD).
- Find out how poor growth is handled, including whether a second session is covered and how long that offer lasts.
- Include travel, time off work, medicine, follow-up visits, and the procedure when you price the first year.
