Timing of sessions in hair transplantation

The issue of timing between hair transplantation sessions is explored. An interval of three to four months between the second and third and third and fourth sessions of transplanting is recommended. This allows the physician to see the pattern of hair growth in all previously placed grafts and enables him to completely fill the spaces left between transplanted hairs rather than between graft edges. Unsightly gaps can be minimized and the need for "fillers" can be markedly reduced if this course is followed.
