How is NeoGraft® different from other hair restoration procedures?

NeoGraft® is an automated hair transplant system which allows for faster and more precise harvesting of small groups of hair follicles, drastically improving the accuracy and success of hair transplantation over manual extraction techniques.

How do I know if I am a candidate for NeoGraft®?

Candidates for the procedure should have sufficient donor hair in the back of the scalp and exhibit moderate hair loss.  It is ideal for patients looking for a less invasive, natural-looking alternative to hair transplantation surgery. 

How is the procedure performed?

NeoGraft® uses controlled pneumatic pressure to slide the donor follicles out of the scalp smoothly, without the need for pulling and twisting.  Because the grafts are not touched, they are not susceptible to damage during the extraction, so they can be re-implanted more quickly, improving the success rate of the transplant and producing more natural and fuller-looking results.  

How long does the procedure take?

The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, and usually requires between 3 to 8 hours depending on the scale of the transplant procedure.  Because NeoGraft® automates the follicle extraction, harvesting 1-4 follicles at a time, this procedure is faster, safer, and more successful than manual extraction techniques.

How long before I see results?

Once the hair follicles have been transplanted into the desired areas of the scalp, they will stay in place for about 2-3 weeks before shedding.  The new hair growth will begin in about 3-4 months, at which point your hair will continue to grow normally.  

Is the procedure suitable for men and women?

Absolutely!  Due to the minimally invasive nature of the NeoGraft® procedure, it is a viable option for men and women who wish to restore a more robust and thicker hairline.
