The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the NeoGraft Automated Hair-Transplantation System, to help regain your full head of hair and your confidence back. This procedure is minimally invasive and much less painful than other procedures. However, the results are just as good and there is much less post-procedure recovery time.
Instead of harvesting a large area of hair and then transplanting it to a hairless area, the automated system removes healthy hair follicles in groups of 1 to 4 at a time. These are then transplanted in bald areas or those with thinning hair. Since this does not move large sections of hair at a time, nearly all men with hair loss are candidates for NeoGraft.
Although it is just as effective as traditional hair restoration surgery, it is much gentler and requires significantly less downtime to recover. Done in an office setting, your doctor will use local anesthesia to numb the area. Nearly all patients report zero pain throughout the procedure. And since only a few follicles are moved at a time, there will be no prominent scarring to lines such as those with traditional surgery.
By about 3 weeks after the procedure, the transplanted hair follicles will shed or fall out. Although this may leave the area looking thin or bald again, this is only temporary and allows for new, healthy hair to grow in behind the shed hair. After about 4 months, your new hair will grow and continue throughout your life.
