NeoGraft Hair Restoration: Precise FUE With Thoughtful Planning
NeoGraft is a motorized system that helps perform follicular unit extraction. The device matters, but design and donor management matter more. The goal is a natural hairline, smart density, and a donor area that still looks good in the future.
What NeoGraft actually does
- Assists FUE harvesting with controlled suction and a rotating punch
- Standardizes graft handling to reduce drying time
- Supports implantation workflow so placement stays steady and efficient
Results still depend on hairline design, selection of graft sizes, angles, and how we protect follicles during every step.
Who does best with NeoGraft FUE
- Men and women with stable pattern loss who want short hair options in the donor area
- Patients who prefer to avoid a linear scar from strip methods
- Those with realistic goals about density and future loss
- Patients willing to support the transplant with medical therapy when appropriate
NeoGraft FUE vs strip (FUT) vs manual FUE
| Method | Upsides | Things to consider |
|---|---|---|
| NeoGraft FUE | No linear scar. Consistent workflow. Short hair friendly | Surgeon planning still drives hairline, angles, and density |
| Strip FUT | High graft yield in one session. No shaving of the whole donor | Linear scar. Less ideal if you wear very short hair |
| Manual FUE | Max control in skilled hands. Flexible in curly hair | Speed and consistency depend on the team and tools |
Tool choice is one part of the plan. Donor conservation and hairline aesthetics are the foundation.
How I plan and perform the case
- Design: map a mature hairline that fits the face now and later
- Donor strategy: spread harvesting to avoid over-thinning any zone
- Graft handling: keep follicles hydrated and cool from harvest to placement
- Angles and direction: place grafts to match native flow so styling stays easy
- Adjuncts when helpful: consider medical therapy and PRP for hair loss to support growth
What to expect after NeoGraft
- Days 1 to 7: tiny crusts at sites. Gentle care and sleep position review
- Weeks 2 to 4: many transplanted hairs shed. This is normal
- Months 3 to 4: early growth begins
- Months 6 to 9: shape fills in
- Month 12 and beyond: final caliber and texture settle
What NeoGraft cannot do
- Create unlimited density with limited donor supply
- Freeze hair loss in time without medical support when indicated
- Guarantee perfect symmetry in very thin or scarred scalps
Risks and how we reduce them
- Shock loss: plan density and timing to protect native hair
- Overharvesting: balanced donor mapping and conservative punch size
- Transection: steady depth control and team communication
- Infection or poor growth: sterile technique and careful aftercare
FAQ
How many grafts do I need
Depends on goals, hair diameter, and contrast with skin. We design a plan that fits your donor supply and future loss pattern.
Will people see scars
FUE leaves tiny dot scars that short hair can often hide. Strip leaves a line. Choice depends on hairstyle and goals.
Do I need to take medicine
Often yes. A transplant moves hair. It does not treat the process that thins the rest. We discuss options that fit your case.
