Frequently Asked Questions – About NeoGraft® and FUE Hair Transplants

What is NeoGraft® Hair Transplant?

NeoGraft® is an advanced automated device used in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedures. It revolutionizes the way hair follicles are harvested and implanted, providing greater accuracy, efficiency, and natural-looking results compared to older manual extraction methods.

To make it simple: imagine a gentle suction device that works like a small vacuum to extract healthy hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp). Unlike traditional strip methods, NeoGraft® FUE requires no scalpels or stitches, which means no linear scar is left behind. Patients also experience faster healing and minimal downtime when following pre- and post-care instructions.

The NeoGraft® procedure typically lasts between 6 and 8 hours, depending on how many follicular units need to be transplanted. A local anesthetic (lidocaine with epinephrine to minimize bleeding) is used for comfort, along with a relaxing medication. Patients do not require general anesthesia.

What is an FUE Hair Transplant?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are removed directly from the donor area and transplanted into thinning or balding areas. Because no scalpel or stitches are used, FUE leaves no linear scar and allows for a quicker, more comfortable recovery.

Benefits of FUE vs. the Traditional “Strip Method”

Traditional strip harvesting involves removing a strip of scalp, stitching the incision, and waiting up to 6 weeks for complete healing. By contrast, FUE hair restoration offers these advantages:

• Faster healing with less discomfort.

• Minimal downtime (many patients return to work within days).

• The ability to wear short hairstyles without worrying about a visible scar.

• Fewer activity restrictions after surgery.

This makes FUE the preferred choice for patients who value a quicker recovery and natural-looking results.

Advantages of NeoGraft® Over Manual FUE Techniques

The NeoGraft® device works as a seamless extension of the surgeon’s hand, making follicle harvesting more precise and efficient. Patients benefit from:

• Shorter procedure times.

• Higher accuracy in graft extraction.

• Fewer overall sessions are needed compared to manual FUE.

Who Is a Good Candidate for NeoGraft® FUE?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Prefer short hairstyles on the sides or back of your scalp.

• Want minimal restrictions on activities (ideal for athletes).

• Are looking to camouflage scars from previous strip-harvest procedures.

• Individuals may require body hair transplants or specialized areas of restoration.

• Both men and women can benefit from NeoGraft® FUE since it is minimally invasive and uses your own natural, growing hair.

Cost of FUE vs. Linear Harvesting

FUE procedures are more intricate, requiring specialized equipment and precision. While costs are often similar to strip harvesting, the value lies in the improved comfort, faster healing, and scar-free results.

At our clinic, we simplify pricing by offering a flat fee instead of charging per graft. This ensures transparency and eliminates the need for patients to travel overseas for lower-cost options, which may not always guarantee safe or consistent results.

Do FUE/NeoGraft® Transplants Look Different from Strip Harvest Results?

In terms of growth and appearance, both FUE and strip harvesting can produce similar results when performed with skill and artistry. The main difference lies in the donor area:

Strip harvesting leaves a visible linear scar.

• FUE with NeoGraft® leaves only tiny, dot-like marks that are virtually undetectable once healed.

• This allows patients greater flexibility with hairstyles and confidence in their results.

• Why We Combine NeoGraft® with PRP Therapy To maximize hair transplant success, we enhance our NeoGraft® procedures with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). PRP is rich in growth factors that “fertilize” the scalp and strengthen new grafts. We apply PRP both before implantation and again after the procedure, helping stimulate healing and supporting healthier, denser hair growth.

Is NeoGraft® Right for You?

NeoGraft® FUE is an excellent solution for men and women seeking a natural, scar-free hair transplant with faster recovery. Whether you are correcting hair loss, camouflaging a scar, or simply restoring density, this advanced technology can help you achieve long-lasting, natural results.
