Traditional hair restoration surgery involved cutting a graft from this area in the patient’s head which left a significant scar. The NeoGraft hair transplant device is designed to help the doctor overcome the problems associated with manual FUE and those of the traditional “strip” method.
Additionally, this is the latest, most advanced technique in hair transplantation available today. The NeoGraft technology does not leave any kind of scar since it uses the automated FUE method (follicular unit extraction).
Hair transplants performed with NeoGraft are considered very safe, non-invasive and relatively minor procedure. NeoGraft device uses pneumatic pressure to extract the hair follicles and implant them in the scalp.
- – Produces no linear scar and is natural looking
- – Is minimally invasive and requires no staples or stitches
- – Provides a fast recovery time (often just a few days)
- – Requires no use of a scalpel (little-to-no discomfort)
NeoGraft presents many advantages over other hair restoration methods. Major advantages include no scarring, as well as less bleeding and complications than with the traditional “strip” method. There are fewer limitations on activities for the first few weeks as with the traditional “strip” hair transplant surgery. The patient will not feel that the scalp is too tight from the suturing and there is less numbness in the area treated.
- Less Invasive Procedure
NeoGraft is a non-surgical FUE transplantation procedure. Since there's less nerve and blood vessel damage, you're in and out quicker than most other patients having other transplantation methods performed. There's also less pain, less scarring and less discomfort.
- More Natural Appearance
The surgeon can calibrate the device itself to match the depth of your harvested follicles with the precise depth they originally were positioned, creating a more natural look. With other tools, a bigger percentage of graft sites could heal with tiny white visible dots. With the NeoGraft procedure, individuals can wear any hairstyle without having to worry if anyone notices evidence of the transplant.
- Quicker Recovery
NeoGraft is also has a much quicker recovery time with quicker post-treatment healing. The procedure itself is also quicker. Factors like these contribute to less treatment complications and risk. You should be able to resume your normal activities faster, typically the next day.
After a few weeks, you should notice some shedding (a normal process in hair growth) following your procedure, and then your natural hair will start growing in about three to four months after the shedding and will continue growing normally. This isn't always a benefit with other methods of treatment. By nine months, your final outcome should be a full head of natural looking, healthy hair.
- More Successful Results
The hair transplant process is more successful with NeoGraft too. The process of innovative collection is tailored specifically for each individual, improving viability of each graft. Usually, a higher hair regrowth percentage takes away the need for shaving for the graft extraction process, reducing the cost per graft. Since each NeoGraft treatment transplants a higher number of follicles than the stripping method, you are less likely to require more procedures later on.

Women often struggle with alopecia (diffused thinning) on various areas of their scalp and men often have distinct baldness patterns that impact certain sections of their scalp (mainly the top). And, while men typically lose hair due to heredity, things like disease, stress or medications can cause hair loss as well. This includes almost all individuals with no notable limitations. Ultimately, anybody looking to add or restore fuller hair can benefit from the NeoGraft procedure.
Anyone who might want less pain, quicker recovery, and have sufficient thickness of donor hair on the back of their scalp to transplant is a candidate. NeoGraft is especially for individuals who would like the continued option of choosing to wear very short hair in the back or sides of their head and scalp, or for those who want the least amount of activity restriction (such as athletes) after their hair transplant procedure. NeoGraft/FUE can also be used for “scar camouflage” procedures for patients who have had older forms of hair restoration, such as linear harvest methods, to try to better hide the previous scar, as well as for individuals seeking body hair transplants.
The highly ergonomic mechanical NeoGraft™ device works as a natural extension of the surgeons’ hand, allowing for faster and more accurate harvesting of hair follicles. NeoGraft™ patients now reach their goal with less time in the procedure room or fewer FUE procedures altogether.
