NeoGraft

Anyone with mild to moderate hair loss and who has a good amount of donor hair on the back of their scalp can benefit from the NeoGraft technique. It especially provides outstanding results for men who want to wear their hair very short following the transplant. Another benefit from using the NeoGraft method is the minimal activity restrictions, which is ideal for physically active people or athletes.

Other candidates for NeoGraft include people who have previously undergone linear hair harvests. NeoGraft is able to effectively camouflage unsightly scars from past hair transplants as well. Botched, pre-existing, poor hair transplants can be substantially improved with excellent results using NeoGraft.

The best candidates for NeoGraft should be in general good health, fully understand how the procedure works, and have realistic expectations of the results. Patients with extra-thick donor hair should anticipate even better results. However, NeoGraft isn’t just limited to harvesting hair from the head. The method can offer amazing results for hair replacement from other areas on the body as well, including the arms, legs, and chest.

Based on the specific number of hair grafts that need to be performed, the procedure can take anywhere from 3-8 hours total.

Compared to other more traditional hair restoration methods, NeoGraft has a relatively short recovery time and also fewer complications related to the procedure itself. Patients should expect a bit of redness and minor swelling that can last between 4-7 days. During the first 24 hours, a small amount of drainage may be experienced, but is usually very minimal. Also, there’s little-to-no discomfort following NeoGraft. Taking a shower and shampooing hair is usually fine following NeoGraft, but requires an extra degree of gentleness for the first two weeks. Patients can comfortably return to work in about a week or less in most cases.

Once the patient’s hair follicles are successfully incorporated into the desired target location of the scalp, they’ll remain there for a couple of weeks. After approximately 3-4 weeks, the transplanted hair will eventually fall out, which gives way for new hair to grow. Over the next 3-4 months, patients gradually begin to notice their new hair growth overall.

Risks that were once common in traditional hair restoration techniques, including bleeding, scarring, extensive recovery time, and other post-op complications, are dramatically decreased using NeoGraft. In fact, the risks commonly associated with NeoGraft are very minimal and pale in comparison to the various potential issues that are linked to more invasive hair restoration techniques.

Some patients do not care if other people know about their procedure, while others do not want anyone to know. After about nine months following the procedure everyone will readily notice how much more hair the patient has overall. For those patients who want to keep their procedure private, it’s recommended that no work or social interaction take place for about 10-14 days. This amount of time should allow for the patient to return to normal in terms of looks. However, if the patient doesn’t mind a few strange looks, then they can easily return to their normal lifestyle and work just 2-3 days following the procedure. In any case, it will take about nine months to see the full results of the surgery.

When individuals decide to get a hair replacement, they generally want the results to quickly show, but also want to know that they’re permanent. For anyone choosing a NeoGraft hair transplant, they can anticipate a future with a full head of hair. The first step is to create a specific treatment plan with your doctor in order to ensure your chances of success.
