In recent years, hair restoration methods have improved by leaps and bounds. The culmination of this evolutionary process is Neograft, an advanced method for hair restoration that’s safe, quick, and minimally invasive, all while offering incredible results.
In short, this isn’t your grandfather’s hair transplant. If you’re worried that hair restoration will involve a lot of physical pain and scarring, along with inconsistent results, then it’s time to learn more about Neograft. This is a standard-setting procedure, and it’s better in every way than the hair transplant methods of old.
A History of Hair Transplants
To understand what makes Neograft so unique, it’s first important to learn a bit more about the history of transplants.
The hair transplant goes back as far as 1939, when a Japanese doctor developed a method for treating patients who had endured scalp burns. The method involved surgically removing small sections of hair-bearing skin, then implanting them into the areas of the scalp that had seen damage. While this method did occasionally yield hair growth, the lingering scars on the scalp meant that the end results were less than aesthetically pleasing.
By the early 1960s, hair transplants had become much more viable and common, making their way to the United States and becoming a popular cosmetic procedure. Due to the technological limitations of the era, though, the procedure was painful and inexact. It required surgeons using scalpels and strip-harvesting healthy hair, all of which left some truly horrific scarring.
In the 1990s, a method called follicular unit extraction (FUE) was developed, allowing surgeons to remove individual follicles as opposed to whole strips of skin. This eliminated the risk of significant scarring, and also provided a more delicate approach that resulted in beautiful, natural-looking restoration.
Enter Neograft
The Neograft procedure is a type of FUE hair transplant, and it represents a significant improvement on earlier iterations of FUE technology.
With Neograft, your technician can remove healthy hair follicles one at a time using only pneumatic pressure, which means no scarring, no scalpels, no pain during the procedure. These healthy grafts can be transplanted to the areas of your scalp where coverage is needed most, and after about four to six months you can once again enjoy a full head of healthy hair.
Some additional benefits of Neograft include:
- There is no need for anesthesia; the entire procedure can be performed with just a local anesthetic, though sedatives are available for patients who prefer to nap through the procedure.
- There is basically no downtime required, and you can get back to most of your regular activities within just a day or two.
- Neograft helps preserve your healthy follicles, meaning you can enjoy the fullest possible hair restoration.
