NeoGraft Hair Transplant: What to Expect
Hair loss isn’t just about a change in appearance — it can deeply affect how you feel about yourself. Watching your hair thin or recede may leave you feeling self-conscious, embarrassed, frustrated, or even less like yourself.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Greenwald empathizes with men and women struggling with hair loss and believes you deserve to enjoy a youthful, full head of hair again. That’s why we offer our NYC and Hamilton, NY patients a groundbreaking hair restoration system, NeoGraft.
NeoGraft is an advanced hair transplant method that uses a gentle, no-scalpel method to restore hair without the visible scarring of traditional procedures. If you’re considering a hair transplant, understanding how NeoGraft works and what to expect can help you make an informed decision.
Read on to learn how NeoGraft works.
The NeoGraft Hair Transplant Process
NeoGraft is an automated follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair restoration technique that extracts and transplants individual hair follicles for a more precise and efficient procedure. Unlike traditional hair transplants, which involve removing a strip of scalp and leaving a linear scar, NeoGraft offers a minimally invasive approach.
The key steps in the process are:
- Extraction: Using pneumatic pressure, hair follicles are gently removed from the donor area (usually the back of the head, where you have plenty of extra follicles). Pneumatic pressure uses gentle air suction to pull hair follicles out, preserving them without damaging them.
- Preservation: Dr. Greenwald separates the hair grafts according to size. The follicles stay in a controlled environment to ensure they’re contamination-free before transplantation.
- Implantation: Dr. Greenwald places the harvested follicles directly into your thinning or balding areas, one at a time, to precisely match your natural hair growth pattern.
The process takes around four to six hours on average.
The Benefits of NeoGraft
NeoGraft provides several advantages over traditional hair transplant techniques:
- No Linear Scar: With no incisions and individual hair follicle extractions, there’s no noticeable scarring.
- More Transplants: NeoGraft can transplant about twice as many hair follicles as the traditional strip method.
- Faster Recovery: Most patients return to work the next day.
- Natural Results: Hair grows naturally without an artificial or “plugged” appearance. Patients can even have short haircuts without anyone knowing about their transplant.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure causes little or no discomfort, a sharp contrast to the strip method, which can be very painful.
