What NeoGraft Can Treat

Hair transplant technology has advanced to a new level with the development of NeoGraft. This system for hair restoration allows a patient to restore balding or thinning areas faster, with a superior outcome. NeoGraft hair restoration can resolve any of the following hair loss problems:

  • Receding hairline
  • Hair loss at temples
  • Male pattern baldness (top and back of head)
  • Thinning hair
  • Female pattern baldness (an all-over hair thinning)
  • A wide scalp line that’s visible when hair is parted

What Is NeoGraft?

In the past, hair transplant technology involved a long and grueling process, either by removing a strip of hair from the back of the scalp, leaving a scar that was visible with shorter hair, or harvesting single follicles, one by one, with specialized surgical tools.

With the development of NeoGraft, the process became easier, faster, and produced better results, as the hair follicles, rather than being harvested by hand, are removed with a specially developed treatment device that uses controlled pneumatic pressure, allowing the hair follicle to slide out smoothly, with less risk of damage. The harvesting of healthy follicles from the donor area at the back of the head is more accurate and requires less treatment time.

What Is FUE Hair Restoration?

FUE, or “follicular unit extraction,” is the term referring to hair grafting technology in which single hair follicles are harvested and transplanted, rather than the “strip” method, or FUT (follicular unit strip). Prior to the development of NeoGraft, FUE was performed manually by a surgeon, who carefully extracted single follicular units for transplant.

While this was a viable approach to hair restoration, it required many, many hours, and the follicles were more likely to be damaged when extracted singly, by hand. With NeoGraft, the follicular units are harvested with a specialized automated tool that carefully extracts the follicles with less pressure, twisting, or risk of damage, leading to a higher survival rate.

Expert Care From Two Skilled Surgeons

At Congressional Plastic Surgery, patients benefit from the combined expertise of two board-certified providers, each bringing a distinct depth of training to every treatment plan.

Dr. Christopher Chang, founder of Congressional Plastic Surgery, is double board-certified in plastic surgery and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. His training spans Harvard College, NYU School of Medicine, Yale-New Haven Hospital, and a craniofacial fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Dr. Hillary Jenny is a board-eligible plastic surgeon trained at MIT, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and Johns Hopkins Hospital, with additional fellowship training in aesthetic surgery in Beverly Hills. She is known for her precision and commitment to natural, patient-specific outcomes.

What Is the NeoGraft Procedure?

The procedure has two steps: the harvesting of follicles and the transplant phase. The procedure involves the following steps:

  • Your scalp will be numbed so the treatment is comfortable.
  • You will lie on your stomach during the harvesting phase, as single hair follicles are automatically extracted from the back of your scalp. This phase may take several hours, depending upon the number of grafts needed.
  • During the second phase of the procedure, you will be sitting comfortably. At the same time, the recipient site (the balding or thinning area) is numbed, and the follicles are implanted with the automated NeoGraft tool. Your practitioner will ensure a natural placement and pattern.

Am I a Candidate for NeoGraft Hair Restoration?

The ideal candidate for this groundbreaking approach to hair restoration is in good general health and has realistic expectations for the final result. To be a viable candidate, you must currently have plenty of donor hair, full and dense, available to harvest at the back of the scalp.

What Is the Recovery from NeoGraft Like?

When injected into the scalp, the hair follicles are stimulated, promoting new hair growth and healthier, thicker hair strands. If you are seeing the early signs of hair loss, with excessive shedding and thinner hair strands, taking action now with PRP hair rejuvenation can be an effective way to ward off further hair loss. The earlier the treatment is performed, the better the outcome.

What Is FUE Hair Restoration?

One of the many benefits of NeoGraft is the recovery time. It is more comfortable, easier to experience, and requires less time. Older techniques in which a strip of scalp was removed took much longer in recovery, as the area needed to heal.

With NeoGraft, tiny punches are created, which heal quickly, require no stitches, and have no significant downtime. You will be able to return to your usual activities within a few days.

After about seven to ten days, the transplanted hair will be rooted in your scalp, with the tiny punches now healed and invisible. There is little pain or discomfort associated with this advanced hair restoration treatment.

How Long Before the New Hair Grows?

You will need some patience to see the full results of your NeoGraft hair restoration. Initially, the transplanted follicles will be visible, but the hairs will soon shed. The transplanted follicles need to settle and grow in the new location, which requires several months. The time involved will vary, but new hair should begin to sprout and grow, filling in the area, at about twelve to sixteen weeks.

What Are the Benefits of NeoGraft?

NeoGraft is one of the most exciting developments in hair restoration to become available in the USA. The benefits of this advanced FUE transplant method include:

  • Minimally invasive: No scalpels, no stitches.
  • Shorter recovery: The tiny incisions heal quickly, allowing you to return to your usual activities without restrictions within only a few days.
  • More comfortable: The automated tool creates tiny punches that heal quickly.
  • A natural-looking result: Your hairline or filled-in area of the scalp will appear natural, not the row upon row of older, traditional “hair plugs.”

Does NeoGraft Really Work?

When the NeoGraft procedure is performed by a highly-skilled provider, such as those at Congressional Plastic Surgery, who takes a meticulous approach to hair restoration, the results are extremely natural in appearance. The NeoGraft system is far superior in how the hair follicles are harvested, producing less twisting and pulling.

This protects the graft, leading to a higher survival rate and better results. When the NeoGraft tool is in the hands of our accomplished practitioners, you have every reason to be excited about the positive change in your look once the transplanted hairs begin to grow—it can take years off your appearance.

"Amazing practice; Great physician; Great staff; Initial consult was great, Dr. answered all my questions and spent lots of time with me. He gave me alternatives to surgery and other items. Prior to the procedure, the nurses and the hospital called and gave me good instructions on what to do. Day of - Innova hospital was great. Dr. Chang came to talk to me before and explained everything again, and we talked. Always made me feel comfortable. He even went above and beyond and did slightly more work. COST was amazing and well-priced with other procedures. VS. other practices, much better: Made alternative suggestions, cost was better, Physician just seemed more knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and friendly."
