To many Lowcountry residents, a full head of hair represents attractiveness and desirability both personally and professionally. For this reason, it is vital to understand what effects a hair restoration procedure can have on your daily interactions with people and in all other aspects of your life. Hair Restoration should be unnoticeable to all but those you tell.
The facts are that approximately 50 million men and approximately 30 million women, including many in the Lowcountry, suffer from male/female pattern baldness or thinning hair. Many potential patients shy-away from (or are not candidates for) the traditional “strip method” of male hair replacement because of the slow recovery time, the loss of feeling at the incision site, the tiny linear scar on the back of the head, or the amount of post-operative pain involved.
After much research, we have chosen to offer the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method utilizing the NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplantation system. The FUE method of hair transplantation removes individual hair follicles from the scalp in their naturally occurring groupings of about 1-4 hairs and are then placed in the areas of the scalp where balding has occurred.
Hair restoration is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes the patient’s own hair, one follicle at a time, to replenish areas where hair loss has occurred without many of the drawbacks from other hair transplant methods utilized. Hair restoration with a NeoGraft procedure offers several advantages that compared to traditional methods: no linear scar, fast recovery, and minimally invasive. The NeoGraft procedure using the patient’s own hair follicles for a full and natural-looking hairline.

Why Choose the NeoGraft Procedure?
The NeoGraft system is the first and only FDA cleared follicular unit harvesting and implantation system. The NeoGraft system delivers automation of the FUE technique, the most advanced technique in the hair transplant industry.
This revolutionary system uses pneumatic controls to precisely extract complete individual hair follicles which can be immediately transplanted to the selected areas of the scalp. The NeoGraft automated hair transplantation system is the only complete harvesting system on the market and has the only ‘NO TOUCH’ implantation technology.
Hair Restoration with NeoGraft technology provides absolute exact harvesting and placement, delivering repeatable results. With NeoGraft’s technology each follicle is removed individually while the patient is comfortable. A natural looking head of hair is created with this minimally-invasive procedure.
Hair loss can be a very emotional part of the natural aging process, and seeking ways to curb this process used to be a challenge. NeoGraft’s advanced technology offers a discrete solution to frontal hair loss, allowing patients to achieve natural looking results with no linear scar, minimal downtime and a shorter recovery period. Hair restoration with the NeoGraft procedure is unnoticeable, making it your secret to tell.

Benefits of the FUE Method:
- FUE hair transplant is a very safe, minimally invasive, relatively minor procedure
- Minimal bleeding and fewer complications than with the “strip” method
- Procedure is performed with local anesthetic and no intravenous or intra-muscular sedation is required
- Patients experience minimal discomfort, no scalpel incision, no sutures, no linear scar and quick recovery times
- And Many More!
The NeoGraft Automated FUE is also a useful procedure to fix visible linear scars from previous “strip” surgeries. FUE can be used to ‘fill in’ or camouflage those old scars by transplanting new follicles into the area.
Am I a good candidate?
Ideal candidates for Neograft hair restoration are both males and females in good health with some hair loss and a good amount of donor hair on the back of the scalp to transplant into the balding areas.
Patients who prefer to have short hair in the back or sides of their scalp yet are experiencing thinning or balding in another area tend to be great candidates because there would be no scar where hair is traditionally taken in other hair restoration procedures. Other ideal candidates are those who want to minimize activity restriction (e.g. athletes) after their hair transplant procedure.
The NeoGraft procedure is also good for ‘scar camouflage’ if a patient has had prior strip harvests, as well as for body hair transplants.
Lastly, having realistic goals when it comes to this treatment are necessary. Dr. Weniger will discuss what type of results can be expected during your consultation.
