Below is the mathematics of hair transplant:-
* In a normal lifecycle an average person has 50000 - 1 Lakh follicular units.
* 50% of these units can be lost without an obvious modification.
* Due to Androgenic Alopecia 75% of the follicles are expected to be misplaced.
* This obviously conveys that 37500 out of 50000 will be discarded and we are left with only 12500.
* Out of these 12500 only 6250 are available for transplantation.
* Thus 6250 units will cover an area where at least 37500 were covering earlier hair density.
