Follicular Unit Extraction
Manual FUE: NeoGraft® Technology
The NeoGraft® system is the first FDA cleared follicular unit harvesting and implantation system. The NeoGraft® system delivers automated Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and implantation technology. Prior to the introduction of the ARTAS® iXi™ Robotic Hair Transplant system, NeoGraft® was the proven FUE technique in the hair transplant industry.
Today, NeoGraft® remains the mainstay FUE treatment option for those individuals who are not candidates for robotic hair transplantation. With NeoGraft®™ your healthiest, most resilient hair follicles are removed individually from an inconspicuous area at the back of your scalp.
How does NeoGraft® FUE work?
Hair follicles are manually harvested from the donor area using the NeoGraft®, individually examined under a microscope, prepared for implantation into insertion sites which Dr. Barsoumian designs in the recipient area (thinning/balding regions) and then manually transplanted into recipient sites. All of this is achieved with a minimally invasive technique, minimal scarring and minimal scarring and no sutures required required.
What are some benefits of NeoGraft® over other manual FUE techniques?
NeoGraft® provides the answer to your concerns with results so discreet that they’re subtle and natural-looking. This technique offers reliable results for men and even for certain women (subject to hair type and texture) – minimal downtime and ensuring a minimal downtime – so you can restore a natural appearance and within days confidence within days. NeoGraft® hair restoration can also be used in areas other than just the scalp, such as thinning or hair loss to facial hair (eyebrows, beard, mustache) which can also have a major impact on one’s appearance and self-esteem.
For further reading, the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, the American Academy of Dermatology, and published clinical research on FUE provide additional guidance on follicular unit extraction procedures.
Am I a good candidate for a NeoGraft® transplant?
The best candidate for the NeoGraft® transplant procedure is someone (male or female) who desires a minimally invasive solution that is performed in the office, with little recovery time, few activity restrictions and reliable results. NeoGraft® is also highly successful at camouflaging scars that patients have suffered from previous suboptimal hair restoration or hair transplant procedures – as well as for body hair transplants.
