Millions of people in the United States are affected each year by hair loss, shedding, and thinning hair. There are multiple products and services available that target this group of individuals, and it can be difficult to discern which treatments are the most promising. NeoGraft represents a long-lasting solution that uses state-of-the-art FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) to reinvigorate your locks and elevate your self-confidence.
What is NeoGraft?
German-designed NeoGraft is an innovative FDA-approved hair restoration system that uses advanced technology (pneumatic pressure) to extract and implant hair follicles. Local anesthesia is used to numb the scalp prior to treatment, but there is no need for general anesthesia. Most patients find NeoGraft relatively painless.
Are results with Neograft permanent?
When patients tire of over-the-counter solutions or prescriptions for hair loss, they often begin asking questions about NeoGraft, which is considered a long-lasting approach to
restoring a healthy head of hair. Hair restoration with NeoGraft is considered permanent thanks to the follicles being harvested from the sides and the back of the head, regions where baldness rarely occurs. The transplanted hairs will thus continue growing for years to come as the patient ages.
Am I a good candidate for NeoGraft?
NeoGraft is ideal for those patients in the early stages of hair loss who are experiencing thinning hair or shedding. The sooner patients address their declining scalp health, the more effective NeoGraft will be. Of course, there is no substitute for a private consultation with your hair restoration specialist, who will determine if NeoGraft is the best option for your unique goals and needs.
NeoGraft vs. the Strip Method
Today, there are two main approaches to hair restoration surgery: FUE and FUT. Follicular Unit Transplantation, also called the Strip Method, involves taking a portion of the scalp from the back of the head and sectioning it into smaller follicle-rich grafts that are then transplanted in key areas where hair loss has occurred.
Follicular Unit Extraction, the method used by NeoGraft, involves harvesting individual hair follicles from the donor regions. Grafts of 1-4 hairs are extracted using automated technology. This has several advantages to both FUT and manual FUE, which include:
- Efficient, precise follicle harvesting
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- No anesthesia, incisions, or scarring
- Expanded hairstyle options
- Minimal recovery time
What results can I expect after NeoGraft?
While it’s always important to have realistic expectations with any cosmetic treatment, most patients experience enhanced hair growth, fullness, and vitality after NeoGraft. Results can help boost self-confidence and provide security when playing sports, swimming, or navigating the outdoors.
After NeoGraft treatment, the transplanted hairs remain in the scalp for 2-3 weeks before they are shed as part of the natural hair growth cycle. During the next phase, new hairs arise. Most patients can expect to see thicker, stronger hairs within 3-4 months.
What is the takeaway?
NeoGraft is a technologically advanced and precision-oriented version of FUE hair transplantation that selects the most viable hair follicles for transfer and implants them in areas that require hair restoration. When performed by qualified, detail-oriented practitioners, NeoGraft treatment can produce aesthetically superior, long-lasting results that enhance your overall quality of life and allow you to feel more youthful and confident.
