Boston Plastic Surgery Now Offer Minimally Invasive Hair Transplant System
Until of late, there has not been a hair loss treatment
available on the market which offers patients with permanent results to
thinning hair without leaving a large linear scar on the back of the head .
That is exactly why board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Fouad Samaha and his
specialist team of nurses and technicians are excited to offer NeoGraft , the
first FDA-approved hair transplant procedure of its kind .
Thinning hair is a very embarrassing and unpleasant
condition that affects a good number of both men and women. As reported by the
American Hair Loss Association, 85% of men over the age of 50 have got
significantly thinning hair-and 40% of the total hair loss population is female.
As anybody suffering from this condition knows, hair loss does not only affect
a person's outer physical appearance, it also can influence people on a
psychological level, generally resulting in low self-esteem.
Now, with the NeoGraft Hair Transplant medical system, the
difficulties related to a manual FUE procedure happen to be minimized or eliminated.
An FUE hair transplant with NeoGraft may be done at the same time frame as a
traditional “strip” hair transplant, cutting down the cost of a lengthy manual
FUE transplant. In addition to minimizing the time needed for the hair transplant,
NeoGraft uses pneumatic pressure to extract the follicles and exactly implant
them too, as an option. This gets rid of the need for touching the follicles
with forceps in the course of harvesting.
Dr. Samaha explains, "NeoGraft is a minimally invasive
follicular unit extraction (FUE ) hair rejuvination treatment that safely ,
effectively , and without difficulty uses your own hair to thicken thinning or
balding areas" . "Compared to some other methods, the NeoGraft
treatment is gentle and involves minimal discomfort because it requires no
scalpel incision. My patients really like that there is little downtime with
dramatic results" , he added .
Dr. Samaha says, comparing NeoGraf to some other hair
transplant options, "NeoGraft gently and carefully harvests and
transplants hair follicles swiftly, accurately, and with minimal trauma to the
follicle”. "Every single graft is accurately extracted with the same
length and diameter to increase the chances that it will survive and produce hair.”
After treatment, patients will certainly experience new
growth of hair as the transplanted follicles undergo normal growth cycles. Results
will progressively improve over the period six to nine months, and new growth
will look just natural.
Dr. Samaha states "This treatment is an outstanding
option for many patients, though the best way to determine candidacy for
NeoGraft is usually to consult with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in
hair transplantation techniques" . "We work really closely with our
patients to map out a natural-looking hairline, and even our patients have been
so happy with their NeoGraft results.”

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant procedures
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Hair transplants can vary in price based off of the area in the world that you are interested in getting a hair transplant as well as the size of the area where you may need a hair transplant. Experienced doctors in the United States will often charge some of the highest prices for a hair transplant worldwide and this is why so many travelers make the move to other parts the world like Turkey, India, Thailand, Mexico...etc for their hair transplants.
Will a hair transplant hurt?
Although hair transplants may look like a particularly
unpleasant or painful experience is actually very little discomfort involved
with the surgery itself. Hair transplants are always done under an anesthetic so there's absolutely zero pain during the treatment itself. Many people actually relate the process as being very similar to going to the dentist for filling or root canal. Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.
Who can deliver the best surgery?
It's usually best to consider working with surgeons who have and IAHRS certification or international alliance of hair restoration surgeons recognition. IAHRS can often deliver recommendations for the best surgeons in each particular area.
Is this scarring noticeable?
Any type of hair transplant will require the use of incisions throughout the scalp. There can also sometimes be a small scar from the donor area towards the back of the scalp. Asking to look at photos of the surgeon's previous work will help you to see roughly how bad the scarring could be. In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.
How long does it take for the hair to grow?
In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.
Are the results permanent?
The hair follicles that are transplanted are generally the ones which are genetically resistant against the symptoms of baldness. As long as you receive hair loss treatment later in your life after the symptoms of balding have started to subside, you can have a better chance at permanent results.
While everyone know you've had surgery?
If you want to limit the chance that people may find out about your surgery it's important to give at least three weeks of healing as the surgical area will be affected and red just after surgery. After around a month of healing it can look far less noticeable. You could consider wearing a hat while time passes or opting for some extra time off if possible.
How long should I rest after surgery?
It's recommended to rest for at least a few days after surgery so that your body can recover. Trenton to over exert yourself and limit sexual activity, running in the gym for around 10 days after surgery.
Is it possible to lose more hair as a result of surgery?
There is always a chance of shock loss which happens when the hair is weak and miniaturizing after the surgery. As long as the surgeon is choosing the correct hair follicles and performing the surgery well it's possible to minimize the chance of this happening however.
Will I need another hair transplant?
The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss. Getting a hair transplant early
on in your 20s or early on in life could lead to needing long-term transplants as hair loss can be progressive.
