HAIR
TRANSPLANT
The good news for those suffering from
Androgenetic Alopecia is hair on the sides and back of the head is not
influenced by the hormone, DHT, so does not fall out, making them ideal to use
as donors to transplant to the thinning areas. Once transplanted, these hairs
remain for a lifetime.
Hair transplant surgery has evolved tremendously over the years; many procedures have been tried with varying degrees of satisfaction, including flaps of scalp and hair surgically rotated from hair- bearing areas to balding areas, or large “plugs” of skin and hair removed from the back, then sewn into the balding areas of the scalp.
Around the world, the most common current method of hair transplant is a procedure called Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) in which a strip of skin and hair is surgically removed from the back of the head, then laboriously sliced under a microscope into individual follicular units containing 1-4 hairs each. These follicular units are then transplanted into tiny incisions in the thinned areas in front and crown, yielding a very natural finished appearance. The major drawback to this procedure is the painful and unsightly scar left on the back of the head.

This is the most comfortable, efficient
hair transplant procedure in the world today.
By efficiently removing just a small bit of skin with a healthy hair
follicle, no visible or painful scar is left behind. The healthy graft is transplanted where it’s
needed, in very small incisions, yielding a very natural hair restoration
result. The very small wounds at the
donor site on the back of the head heal very quickly, without visible
scars. Your barber or hair stylist will
quickly and easily be able to disguise the donor area in a short time, and you
get back to your busy life in days, not weeks.
The newly transplanted hair will initially go into a dormant phase, then will gradually and naturally begin to regrow in about 3 months. By 12 months, the full effect of the transplant will be apparent. Dr. Vicky will work with you to develop a long-term program to maintain the effect of your transplant and protect your own natural hair growth.
NeoGraft is a revolutionary hair transplantation device that allows your doctor to use the most up-to-date and clinically proven method of hair transplantation called FUE (follicular unit extraction). FUE generally relies on the skill of the surgeon to be precise. With the added use of NeoGraft, your doctor can provide absolute and exact placement of hair transplant using technology that operates under pneumatic pressure, with precision automated control. What that means to you is that your hair transplant procedure can be performed in a safe and efficient manner with the utmost in accuracy and precision. Providing you with a completely natural appearance and with less pain and less downtime.
Candidates for hair restoration surgery are those individuals with hair loss that have sufficient donor hair on the back of the scalp to transplant into the frontal balding areas. The best candidates are those men and women with only frontal or partial hair loss and with adequate donor hair. Your doctor will assess the amount of coverage needed to give you the appearance you desire.
an ongoing process that requires a commitment of time. Once the hair follicle has been implanted into the balding area, the grafted hair will stay in place for about two to three weeks before shedding. After shedding, the new growth will begin in 3-4 months. This is normal and an important part of the new hair growth process. After that time period, the hair will continue to grow normally; your result will look healthy and natural.
The science behind grafting is quite simple. Hair follicles are taken from the hair at the back of the head that is genetically programmed to continue to grow. The follicles that hold your transplanted hair are living tissues that grow cyclically. Like normal hair growth, transplantation is
Harvested hair follicle grafts for transplant
Hair transplantation is a surgical
process in which hair is taken from the back of the head and replaced in areas
where hair loss has occurred. The NeoGraft device uses a special technology
that is able to quickly and painlessly remove the hair follicles from the back
of the head and implant them to balding areas. NeoGraft uses a controlled
pneumatic pressure to slide out the graft smoothly, so there is no pulling or
twisting which can risk damaging the graft. Because the NeoGraft transplant is
faster than other out of date methods, the grafts can be re-implanted sooner
which keeps them more robust, increasing the success of the grafting
process.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
Most men start to develop male pattern baldness at approximately 40-45 years of age. For women, they may reach the age of 55-60 before their balding pattern manifests. Hair loss does not stop after a transplantation, some people will need continuing maintenance and further sessions will likely be required, particularly if your balding patterns continue with age. Progressive hair loss or the desire for more density may require more transplants. An estimate of balding pattern and the number of procedures needed will be discussed during your consultation.
SHOULD I HAVE ANY CONCERNS?
Hair transplant surgery is considered a minor procedure. There are rarely any complications and those that may occur can easily be dealt with by your doctor.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
Before and after NeoGraft hair transplant
Unlike the old fashioned "punch grafting" technique that often produces an altered texture or unnatural straight lines (corn row) of hair appearance, NeoGraft has dramatically improved the results of hair restoration surgery. Grafting sessions are designed to replace the lost hair, refine the thinning hairline and provide a healthy and natural appearance. Results will vary depending upon your personal level of baldness.
