Is a NeoGraft Painful?

NeoGraft is performed using local anesthesia, which keeps the scalp comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment. After the procedure, mild soreness or tightness in the donor area may occur for a short period, though this typically improves quickly as the scalp heals.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Many patients achieve their desired hair density with a single NeoGraft procedure. However, individuals with more advanced hair loss or those looking for significant density may benefit from additional sessions. Follow-up visits will allow the Morgenstern Hair team to help monitor your progress and determine if any additional grafts would further enhance your final results.

How Long Until I See Results?

Hair growth after transplantation takes time. Transplanted hairs often shed during the first few weeks, a normal part of the hair growth cycle. New hair growth usually begins around three to four months after the procedure. Hair continues to thicken over the following months, with the most noticeable improvements typically appearing between nine and twelve months.

What Are the Risks Associated with NeoGraft?

Temporary swelling, redness, or small scabs may occur during the early healing phase after NeoGraft treatment. There may also be some mild discomfort in the donor area for a few days. Rare complications with NeoGraft include infection, poor graft survival, or uneven hair growth.

NeoGraft™ vs. Strip Extraction

Understanding the differences between NeoGraft™ and strip extraction helps our patients make informed decisions about their hair restoration. We have provided comparisons between these two techniques based on the most common questions from our hair restoration patients.

For strip extraction, a strip of the scalp is removed from the side or back of the patient’s head. The excision requires a significant incision that is sutured or stapled.

NeoGraft™ is based on the minimally invasive Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique that harvests individual hair follicles rather than strips of scalp.

Who Are the Best Candidates For NeoGraft?

Our hair restoration patients meet basic guidelines, such as being in good health and having adequate donor hair. Patients considering other FUE hair restoration procedures or the strip method should schedule a consultation at Morgenstern Hair to learn how NeoGraft in Philadelphia can deliver better results with less recovery time and at a lower cost.

What’s the First Step?

What to Expect on the Day of Your NeoGraft Procedure

The NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplantation System is a minimally invasive hair restoration system that uses an automated process to harvest and place hair follicles.

Your Guide to Post-FUE Hair Transplant Care

Strip extraction is an extensive and often painful method of hair transplantation. Patients must heal from the extensive incision made during the scalp excision, as well as the many tiny incisions needed to place the grafts.

The NeoGraft™ system uses the FUE technique for harvesting donor hair follicles. This technique minimizes patient discomfort during and after the procedure. Downtime is minimal.
