What is NeoGraft?

NeoGraft is a new automated hair transplant system which facilitates the harvesting of follicles during a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant, dramatically improving the accuracy and speed over previously used manual extraction instruments. Basically, it is a device used to inject hair follicles into your scalp in an automatic way that is less scarring and painful.

How does NeoGraft work?

First we need to discuss Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

FUE is essentially the process in which the donor’s hair is removed to be used for the transplant process, literally one graft at a time. Hair follicles are then injected back into the scalp in an automated fashion.

It is very important to understand that FUE is not like regular hair transplant. Hair transplant procedures, work to harvest hair from the donor area in the back of the scalp. How the hair is harvested is the only difference between an FUE and a Strip Excision procedure. The rest of the transplant process and results are exactly the same.

Who is it for?

Essentially hair transplant can be for everyone. NeoGraft works for those who are afraid of permanent scarring that is visible, and those who like to see results without limiting side effects. NeoGraft isn’t only for men, women who would like to get a full head of hair can also get the transplant. You don’t even have to have it grow very long, if you prefer short hair, then it is very easy to maintain around the area you need. It is also great for those who want the least amount of activity restriction (e.g. athletes) after their hair transplant procedure.

The NeoGraft FUE System can also be used for ‘scar camouflage’ procedures for patients who have had prior linear harvests, as well as for body hair transplants.

Candidates for hair restoration surgery are those individuals in good health with moderate hair loss and sufficient donor hair on the back of the scalp to transplant into the balding areas. Those with more donor hair, greater hair density and fullness can typically expect fuller results. It is also important that you have reasonable cosmetic goals. Hair transplantation can achieve very good, natural results but cannot restore your hair to the density you had as a teenager. Your doctor will assess the amount of coverage needed to give you the appearance you desire.

Who is certified to use NeoGraft?

Only NeoGraft certified professionals can use the device. So far, there is only one in Qatar, Dr. Iman Al Haj.
