How NeoGraft Works?

Hair restoration has come a long way since unsightly plugs and toupees. Case in point: NeoGraft Hair Restoration, the industry leader in Follicular Unit Extraction, otherwise known as "the FUE technique." Here are some of the benefits to NeoGraft Hair Transplants:

Virtually pain-free
Minimally invasive
No downtime, no sedation required

The following steps outline a typical NeoGraft procedure and what prospective patients can expect throughout the hair restoration process.

Step 1. Extract Hair Follicles

Your hair transplant surgeon extracts individual hair follicles from your "donor area." Your donor area is the area on the back of your head, between your ears, where existing hair is genetically resistant to testosterone. The NeoGraft device does this gently, coring individual grafts and gently using suction for collection.

Step 2. Count, Sort & Trim Grafts

Your hair transplant surgeon separates individual follicles into units according to size, diameter, and length. A typical unit contains 1-3 hairs, separated by exact amount to ensure the most natural-looking results possible.

Step 3. Create Recipient Sites

Your hair transplant surgeon creates recipient sites at the proper depth and angulation in your bald or thinning areas. Precision ensures graft viability, as these sites will house the extracted grafts.

Step 4. Place Hair Grafts

Your hair restoration surgeon implants each follicular unit into the recipient site to produce the desired outcome. Hair naturally grows at differently angles, so proper angulation is vital to ensuring natural-looking results.

Note: Prior to the procedure, your hair transplant surgeon will work with you to create a custom hair restoration plan that outlines restoration expectations for your age, gender, and unique hair loss pattern.

Am I a candidate for a hair transplant?

The best way to determine if you're a candidate for hair restoration is to schedule a consultation with our team at Hair Transplant of Princeton. With the revolutionary NeoGraft hair transplant system, there are now many more patients who are now candidates for effective treatment. The quality and density of your donor hair sites will help your specialist determine the likely outcomes of a hair transplant. Important medical considerations before considering transplant include appropriate management of any underlying conditions including hypertension and diabetes. Your hair transplant surgeon will also want to know if you are on any blood thinners or anti-platelet agents due to cardiac conditions.

How is the procedure done?

The hair selected for use as donor grafts will generally be harvested from the back and sides of the head. After careful preparation for sterility and comfort, the minimally-invasive NeoGraft Follicular Unit Extraction system works by automated removal of individual hair follicles. The collected hairs are carefully studied for viability and characteristics. Next, the grafted follicles are re-implanted at the recipient site with meticulous attention to angle, orientation and direction to help restore a natural look to the hairline. This is the most critical step for both success and satisfaction.

Is the hair transplant a permanent solution?

Donor site hair is carefully selected for their resistance to balding. After an initial shedding phase, the transplanted hair will continue to grow in its new position for as long as any healthy hair follicle. As such, your investment is secure in a near permanent solution.

Will I need additional hair transplants in the future?

This is harder to predict without a direct consultation, however it is not uncommon to stage procedures. Generally, this is done no earlier than 9-12 months to allow adequate time for the initial transplant to mature. A second or possibly even third transplant is intended for additional areas. Don't worry though! The cost is unaffected by the number of transplants you receive, but rather based on the number of grafts you require. We recommend that your strategy is customized to your very individual hair quality.

Cost of Hair Transplant

When deciding whether to undergo hair transplant surgery, the cost is understandably a major determinant. As with any surgical procedure, the cost of a hair transplant will vary depending on a number of factors, including the number of grafts required, length of the process, and whether the patient decides to undergo any additional treatments as part of maintenance. Although the price is undeniably an important factor when searching for a solution to hair loss, it is essential to take your time to select a highly qualified expert that meets your expectations. And while there may be an urge to find the lowest price, unfortunately there is also a large variability on results related to technique, equipment, and experience.
Your private, free consultation with us is a perfect opportunity for you to learn more about Hair Transplant of Princeton and our commitment to the highest standards. We will take the time to learn about your goals, answer any questions you may have, and make pricing transparent.
However, hair transplant is still a surgical procedure and as a result, it is associated with a higher price point than other, temporary hair loss options. During consultation, patients are encouraged to explore all hair loss options such as propecia, laser hair caps and specialized shampoos/vitamins. While these are excellent options to slow down hair loss, they cannot provide the same lasting results as hair transplant.
