Hair restoration by hair grafts
Before and After NeoGraft Hair Restoration
All of us wish to have fuller hair that we can style any way that we want to. Unfortunately, many people, especially men, tend to develop balding areas that negate this idea. Having a full head of hair had remained simply wishful thinking for many until the advent of hair restoration procedure using hair grafts and also possibly hormone therapy. Hair grafting has proven to be a boon for both men and women suffering from hair loss and thinning. Premature balding has also become a common problem faced by many people who lose more than just their hair as it causes irreparable damage to their self esteem as well.
NeoGraft Hair Grafts versus Strip Method Hair Inserts
The most advanced technique to performing the best hair restoration procedure is using the NeoGraft Hair Graft procedure. Here, no large incisions are made in the back of the scalp such as with the “Stripe” method. Instead, each individual follicle is isolated, individually removed to below the bulb (or root), and then reinserted into the balding areas by using the new NeoGraft Micro technique. The procedure is performed while you’re awake using only a local anesthetic. You can thus return to normal activities within a day or two without suffering from the pain or potential complications of the Strip method.
With the older Strip method, a large strip of scalp is removed from the back of the head from one side to the next. The follicles in the strip of scalp are then cut up and reimplanted into the scalp. The scalp must be sutured and allowed to heal, thus the downtime is a lot longer. In addition, this method is much more painful than the NeoGraft method and has more potential complications, such as excessive bleeding postop. The new NeoGraft method has almost entirely eliminated these problems.
Useful tips for hair restoration
The appearance of the hair after reimplantation of the hair grafts depends largely on the skill of the surgeon. To get a good hair transplant result it is extremely important that you select an experienced surgeon and center who you feel comfortable with performing the procedure.

While at it, ask about the after care needs and how long it will take for your grafts to grow completely. Usually it takes nearly three to five months for new hair to come out.
