FUE Hair Restoration

You may feel light pressure or a mild tugging sensation during follicle extraction or placement, but there’s no scalp cutting, stitching, or major trauma. After the procedure, it’s common to experience minor soreness, redness, or tightness in both the donor and recipient areas. However, these effects typically resolve within a few days and can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Because NeoGraft is a minimally invasive technique, the post-procedure discomfort is dramatically lower compared to traditional strip-harvest hair transplants.

The number of appointments you’ll need for FUE hair restoration with NeoGraft depends on your degree of hair loss, the density of your donor area, and your personal hair restoration goals. For many patients, just one session is enough to restore a noticeably fuller hairline or patchy areas on the scalp. Each session typically lasts 4 to 8 hours, and the results are permanent once the follicles begin to grow. However, if your hair loss is more advanced or progresses over time, you may benefit from a second treatment down the road to maintain your ideal results.

Patience is key when it comes to NeoGraft hair restoration. While the newly implanted follicles are securely in place within 7 to 10 days, the visible transformation happens in phases. Around 2 to 3 weeks post-procedure, the transplanted hairs will typically shed—a completely normal and expected part of the hair growth cycle. New hair growth typically begins around the 3- to 4-month mark, with the most dramatic improvement appearing between 6 and 12 months after your session. You’ll notice your hair looking thicker, fuller, and more even with each passing month.

NeoGraft is a long-lasting hair restoration. Your body adopts the transplanted follicles and grows the hair naturally. However, if you receive NeoGraft due to age or a gradual hair loss, that natural hair loss process will likely continue. It may be necessary to undergo a maintenance treatment in a future year to maintain your revitalized hairline.

Yes, FUE hair restoration with NeoGraft can absolutely be combined with other cosmetic procedures, depending on your goals and overall health. Many patients choose to enhance their results by pairing NeoGraft with treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, which uses your own growth factors to accelerate healing and stimulate stronger, thicker hair growth. If you’re undergoing facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift, eyelid surgery, or injectables like Botox or dermal fillers, these can often be timed to complement your hair restoration, resulting in a refreshed, more youthful overall appearance.

Because NeoGraft is a minimally invasive procedure with no incisions or staples, there are virtually no risks associated with it. Any minor discomfort can be easily managed with over-the-counter medication. As long as you follow the recovery and aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Macias, you can expect your hair restoration to be extremely successful.
