nice, yeah I have that retrograde alopecia so the bottom of the back of my head is thinning, there is just that one sweet spot in the back upper middle that luckily has stayed pretty well then, that was the number they gave it anyway

100 follicular units per cm2 is average so 80 is slightly below average.

hmmm I see, well that's a lot better than what I originally thought it would be, I remember posting photos here when my head was buzzed and people thought I was SOL (as did I )

80 is about average in follicular donor density. This means that there are 80 follicular units per square centimeter present in the donor area.

My opinions are my own. I am one representative of MyWHTC Clinic's European branch.

Really? I was recorded at 125 fu/cm.

 

Admittedly never asked what that actually meant for me long term. I thought it was just a better than avg #.
