1-We all very well aware that scalp exercises do work! But whats the percentage increase? I mean how much can a person increase their graft number?

 

2-Also some scalps are more elastic than others thats for sure.So for those who have elastic scalps, does exercises necessary or is it more you do is more you get at all circumstances?

 

3-Does all the doctors(I mean the ones that are recomended here) use all the laxity for big cases? I mean some like h&w and rahal are going up for 5-6k's and others are maximum at 3500-4000.If someone aims for 8k+ , which one is the right path in terms of usage of laxity? Megasession or small sessions?

 

I know most of the questions are depend on each individual, hair type bla bla bla.. But I'd love to get some more specific answers:)

There's been no scientific analysis on the exact effect of scalp exercises. However, all doctors seem to agree that they are helpful. Check out Severn's story. He dedicated sometimes 2 hours a day to them and he practically doubled the amount of the grafts he was able to harvest in one session.

Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008

Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013

Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020
