500 graft hair transplant results 2025 — what areas 500 grafts cover, before and after results, cost and candidacy.

What 500 grafts achieves

500 grafts typically yield 1,000–1,200 individual hairs depending on follicle grouping. This is appropriate for: early temple recession (Norwood I–II), eyebrow restoration, filling specific patchy areas in the beard or hairline, or adding density to a localised thin zone. 500 grafts is not sufficient for coverage of a significant bald area — it is a precision refinement procedure.

Procedure overview

Duration: 2–4 hours. The smaller session size makes 500 grafts one of the most manageable procedures available — minimal downtime, low donor impact, rapid healing. FUE or DHI can be used. Local anaesthetic only. Same-day departure possible for most international patients.

Before and After — What to expect

Recovery follows the standard FUE timeline. Crusts shed by Day 10–14. Shock loss at weeks 2–4. New growth from Month 4. Final result Month 10–12. For a 500-graft frontal hairline refinement, the change is typically subtle and natural — a softened hairline, filled temples, improved symmetry — rather than a dramatic transformation. The goal of a small session is to look natural, not operated-on.
