Patient Case Studies

Scott’s Giga Session

12,500 Grafts

This incredible transformation was achieved using a total of 12,500 grafts, carefully planned and extracted across multiple donor sources to maximise density and coverage:

10,000 grafts from the scalp donor area
evenly distributed to maintain a natural donor appearance while providing maximum yield.

1,500 grafts from the beard
used strategically to add volume and density, blending seamlessly with scalp hair.

1,000 grafts from the chest
An additional reserve to boost overall graft numbers and complete the restoration.

A single Giga session, using scalp, beard and body hair, restores lasting density and confidence—proof of what expert planning and technique can achieve.

James’ Giga Session

7,655 Grafts

James underwent a 7,655 graft Giga Session, focusing on rebuilding his hairline, restoring density through the mid-scalp, and adding strong coverage to thinning areas. By carefully extracting only from the scalp donor, our team achieved an impressive transformation while keeping the donor site natural and balanced.

The Result

  • 7,655 scalp grafts transplanted in one sitting
  • Natural, defined hairline with age-appropriate density
  • Restored mid-scalp and crown coverage for a fuller look

Doctor-led care throughout surgery and aftercare

James’ result shows how a well-planned Giga Session can restore both density and confidence — without the need for beard or body grafts.

Thomas’ Giga Session

10,455 Grafts

Thomas underwent a 10,455 graft Giga Session, designed to achieve maximum coverage and density in a single procedure. Using only the scalp donor, our surgical team carefully extracted and placed each graft to restore his hairline, fill the mid-scalp, and achieve strong density across the crown — while keeping the donor area natural.

The Result

  • 10,455 scalp grafts transplanted in one sitting
  • Comprehensive restoration: hairline, mid-scalp, and crown
  • Balanced donor management for a natural appearance

Doctor-led aftercare with follow-ups and PRP support

Thomas’ transformation highlights the full potential of a Giga Session — restoring youthful density and redefining his overall look with one advanced procedure.

Niki’s Giga Session

10,320 Grafts

Niki underwent a full Giga Session, where 10,320 scalp grafts were transplanted in one procedure. Using careful, even extraction, our team restored density across the hairline, mid-scalp, and crown — while keeping the donor area looking natural.

  • 10,320 scalp grafts placed with precision
  • Full coverage from front to crown

Doctor-led care with long-term aftercare included

Niki’s transformation is proof of what’s possible with our advanced techniques: a natural hairline, strong density, and restored confidence — all achieved in a single sitting.

The Art and Science of Natural Results

Every giga session begins with a detailed plan of how many grafts are placed into each part of the scalp.

Not every area needs the same density — we tailor it carefully to achieve the most natural, balanced result while preserving your donor supply for life.

Frontal Hairline Zone

40–55 grafts per cm²

This is where density matters most for a natural appearance. We build a strong, defined hairline that frames the face.

Mid-Scalp

The crown naturally swirls, so it requires fewer grafts to look dense. This also conserves grafts for other key areas.

To achieve stronger coverage and a fuller swirl pattern

Your donor area (the permanent hair at the back and sides of your head) is the foundation of every successful hair transplant. In a giga session, careful donor management is essential.

Instead of overharvesting one area, we divide the donor region into multiple zones. Grafts are then extracted evenly across these zones, keeping the donor looking natural while providing the maximum number of grafts for transplantation.

Donor Area

Balanced Extraction
We spread graft removal across all donor zones to create a consistent harvest and look.

Sustainable Results
The donor area heals evenly, maintaining a natural look for the future.

High Yield
By carefully planning each segment, we can safely harvest 8,000–10,000+ grafts without compromising appearance.

Expert Technique
Our doctors use micro-punch tools for precision, allowing maximum density.

Options
Additional grafts can we used from beard and body hair if the scalp donor is lacking.

This strategic approach allows us to create a truly transformative result while preserving your donor supply for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn the answers to common questions
before you choose us.

General

A giga session is an advanced procedure where up to 10,000+ grafts are transplanted, restoring maximum coverage and density in a single treatment plan.

Breaking the procedure into 2 days ensures patient comfort, extracting the hairs on day 1, then channelling and implantation on day 2. It also reduces fatigue for both patient and surgical team, and increases graft survival rates.

Men with advanced hair loss (Norwood 5–7) and a strong donor supply are the best candidates. Suitability is confirmed during consultation.

Each day typically lasts 6–9 hours, with breaks built in for patient comfort.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic. Patients are awake and comfortable throughout.

At Merchant City Medical Group, all giga sessions are doctor-led, with the surgeon performing all critical parts of the procedure.

Procedure

Up to 10,000+ grafts from the scalp. If more are required, we can also supplement with beard and body hair.

5. many grafts are removed?
No. We use even extraction across multiple donor zones, ensuring the donor heals naturally and maintains a uniform appearance.

Yes. Beard hair is particularly strong and blends well with scalp hair for density. Chest hair may also be used in advanced cases to boost graft numbers.

Absolutely. These grafts are carefully placed in areas where their texture is best suited — for example, beard hair is often added to the mid-scalp and crown for extra density.

We use micro-punch extraction tools that leave tiny, dot-like scars less visible to the naked eye once healed.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients look presentable within 7–10 days. Any redness or scabs fade in 1–2 weeks.

12 months of follow-ups with your surgeon

Light walking is fine immediately. Gym workouts and heavy exercise should be avoided for 2 weeks.

You’ll receive detailed instructions. Typically, patients begin gentle washing after 4 days, using foamer shampoo provided in the aftercare kit.

Results

Shedding happens in the first few weeks. New growth begins around 3–4 months, with major density by 6–9 months and full results in 12–15 months.

Most giga session patients achieve a full, life-changing result in one procedure. However, some patients may choose refinement surgery years later as natural aging progresses.

Donor hair is genetically resistant to balding, meaning once transplanted, it should last for life.
