Will NeoGraft Hair Restoration Treatment Give Me Natural-Looking Results?

For many years, hair transplant surgery was associated with unnatural-looking results that many people considered "worse" than what the patient started with. Not only that, but some forms of surgical hair transplant involved lengthy incisions that left patients with a noticeable scar, thereby drawing attention to their procedure. Fortunately, men and women struggling with hair loss or thinning hair have more advanced options than ever for restoring real, fuller hair growth and achieving results that look strikingly natural.

At The Face & Body Center, our Flowood, MS hair restoration specialist performs minimally invasive hair restoration using the revolutionary NeoGraft system, which allows individual hair follicles to be distributed in strategic and precise distributions that mimic the hairline, growth direction, and other attributes of natural hair growth. Here, we'll take a closer look at how NeoGraft hair restoration works and why many patients consider it the most compelling solution for achieving natural-looking hair growth that lasts.

What is a NeoGraft hair transplant?

NeoGraft hair restoration refers to a minimally invasive procedure that involves extracting individual hair follicles — usually from the back of the patient's head — using the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique and transplanting them areas of thinning, balding, or recession primarily along the hair line and in the front of the head. Unlike linear hair transplant surgery, no direct incision, sutures, or scarring is required with a NeoGraft hair restoration.

Will my hair look like hair plugs with NeoGraft restoration?

No. When performed properly by a highly skilled NeoGraft hair restoration provider, the results of the procedure can be subtle, natural, and discreet while still producing significant new growth that transforms the patient's appearance. After the donor hairs are extracted from elsewhere on the patient's head during a NeoGraft hair restoration treatment, they are meticulously relocated to areas of hair loss and inserted into the scalp in individual or small-group distribution. Our team also takes into account the thickness of each follicle, the direction of its growth, and other variables to ensure the new growth that results from the treatment most closely mimics the patient's previous natural growth in the area.

How long will it take new hair to grow after NeoGraft FUE hair restoration?

Because hair follicles grow in varying cycles, it can take several months for patients to notice a difference after NeoGraft hair restoration treatment. After about 2 – 3 weeks, the newly transplanted hair will begin to shed, which is a natural and expected part of the recovery process. Over the course of the next several weeks and months, patients should begin to see new growth that continues to fill in. To ensure the most efficient and successful healing and new growth possible, use these helpful FUE hair restoration aftercare tips:

• Do not touch or rub the newly transplanted hair
• Do not wear a hat
• Do not wash your hair
• Do not use hair products or styling tools
• Do not swim or submerge your head
• Avoid sleeping on the newly transplanted follicles
• Do not smoke
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet
• Stay hydrated

Both before and after your procedure, our team will discuss your NeoGraft hair transplant aftercare instructions in more detail —including how long you may need to avoid some of these behaviors and when you can resume washing and styling your hair — to ensure you are well prepared for your healing period. Fortunately, patients are usually able to return to desk work and other normal routines almost immediately after treatment.
