Hair Restoration Procedure: What You Need to Know
Your surgeon will “map out” where the follicles will be placed to ensure natural and even distribution of hair. Then, the NeoGraft handheld device will be used to extract healthy hair follicles from the donor site. Once all the needed follicles for your treatment have been harvested, they are methodically placed in the right locations to fill in thinning or balding areas.
The procedure generally takes a few hours to complete – and is far faster than the traditional hair restoration technique. The actual time needed for your procedure will be based upon the degree of hair loss and the quantity of transplants needed.
Recovery After NeoGraft Hair Restoration
The NeoGraft system is minimally invasive and extremely safe for patients, with a fast recovery. The donor area and treated areas will be healed within one week of your procedure and others will not see that you have undergone a hair restoration procedure.
After your NeoGraft hair restoration, you must be cautious with the treated areas avoid rubbing, touching, or otherwise disturbing the transplanted follicles. Do not shampoo your hair for the first 24 hours after the procedure and be very gentle when contacting the treated area. Wait approximately two weeks before performing strenuous exercise.
Once the follicles are become viable in their new location, you will see new hair growth. There is some degree of patience required with hair restoration, but with NeoGraft, it is well worth the wait. As the months pass, your new hair will fill in, and you can enjoy your life ahead with far greater confidence in your appearance.
How long will it take to see results?
Hair follicles have a natural growth cycle, and the transplanted follicles have been shocked. The follicles will shed hair initially, but don’t be concerned – they are in dormant phase, and will soon begin producing new hair, typically within to four months. Every person is slightly different. After approximately six months, your will experience noticeable hair growth.
The new hairs will continue to grow and will blend with your existing hair for an extremely natural look. The new hair growth can be cut, colored, and styled just like your normal hair – because it is!
