    Glossary Donor Density

    number of hair follicles per square centimeter in donor area

    Donor density refers to the number of hair follicles available in the donor area of the scalp, typically the back and sides, which are resistant to hair loss. This measurement is crucial for hair transplant procedures, as it determines how many grafts can be harvested and transplanted to balding areas without compromising the appearance of the donor site.
