Well first off, I'm gonna make it very clear that maths was never my strongest subject, but I'm gonna give this a go anyways...
Looking at the subject photos that have an actual size scale on them like this one:

You can clearly see the 2mm scale in the bottom right of each image, so assuming that the 2mm scale in the photos actually does represent 2mm scale correctly then the area of scalp shown in that picture is approximately 15mm across.
If a 4mm diameter results in 25 hairs then by my shoddy maths (anyone is free to show me how I've calculated this wrong) but a 15mm area would produce an average of 93.75 hairs (4mm x 3.75 = 15mm, so 25 hairs x 3.75 area increase = 93.75 hairs).
In the patient above he actually has 97.5 more hairs after 5 months (433 - 335.5)within a 15mm area of his scaslp so that 2mm = 25 new hairs figure actually seems correct. Assuming again i'm working this out right....
If they only did one injection per site though as I thought they had, then I have no idea where these findings are coming from spread over such an area. It seems the 25 hairs per 2mm radius may be right, but this area of positive effect being 2mm i can't see considering the posted results so far. Unless they did more than one injection or something?
