Density levels

[chin up]

Has any clinic provided a portfolio of different density levels on the various Norwood levels? An example would be three nw3 patients planted at 40, 50 and 60 cm's thus showing what may be achieved.

I'm sure ... but honestly, would such a display be useful? IMHO, no. In fact, it would mislead unless you are very aware of how important hair characteristics are in determining coverage. The guy with thick, wavy, salt and pepper donor hair will get more hair coverage at 40 g/cm2 than the guy with fine, straight donor hair at 60 g/cm2.

When clinics show a great result and specify the density, take it mainly as a point of interest. The tendency is to look at a great result with x density and say, if I get x density then I will get the same result. Not so. Hair characteristics can literally double your result or halve it.

Good idea in theory but all patients/hair characteristics are different as already stated.
