Is a NeoGraft Hair Restoration Painful?

The donor and recipient areas are numbed with local anesthesia, and you may also receive medication to help you relax. You may feel some pressure or mild tugging during the procedure, but pain is minimal. Afterward, there may be slight soreness or tenderness for a few days, but this can be managed with some over-the-counter medications.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

For most of our Atlanta patients, the entire NeoGraft procedure is completed in a single session that lasts several hours, depending on the number of grafts being placed. However, follow-up appointments will be scheduled to check on your healing and hair growth progress. Some patients may choose to return for additional sessions if they desire more density or want to treat a larger area over time.

How Long Until I See Results?

You’ll notice new hair growth within 3 to 4 months, with more visible improvements by 6 months. Full results typically appear around 9 to 12 months after your NeoGraft procedure, with full density after 12-18 months. The transplanted hair grows just like your natural hair and can be cut, styled, and washed as usual once fully healed.

Can I Combine a NeoGraft Hair Restoration With Other Procedures?

Absolutely, many Atlanta patients choose to combine NeoGraft with other treatments to maximize their results. A popular pairing is PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, which can help strengthen transplanted follicles and encourage faster, healthier hair growth. Some even combine NeoGraft with facial rejuvenation procedures such as eyelid surgery, facelift , or injectable treatments.

What Are the Risks Associated With a NeoGraft Hair Restoration?

Possible risks we have seen with NeoGraft hair restoration include swelling, bleeding, infection, temporary numbness, or uneven hair growth. In rare cases, some grafts may not survive, but this is minimized with proper technique and aftercare. Dr. Walker will provide you with detailed post-procedure instructions to help ensure proper healing and lasting results.

NeoGraft Hair Restoration

Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA

As we grow older, some of us may experience thinning hair or genetic pattern baldness, which can negatively impact our confidence. Thankfully, there are hair restoration options available to you to help improve your hair growth! NeoGraft is a proven, safe, precise, and natural-looking hair restoration solution that can help you achieve a thicker head of hair for a boost in self-esteem!

What is a NeoGraft Hair Restoration?

NeoGraft is one of the most advanced hair transplantation techniques used today and is a semi-automated version of the FUE technique. FUE, or follicular unit extraction, relocates hair follicles from the back of the head to the top of the head, eyebrows, beard, mustache, or wherever you are deficient in hair growth. Once these hair follicles are transplanted, they naturally grow hair for years to come, resulting in a fuller, thicker head of hair. NeoGraft-assisted hair restoration is a great combination of the latest state-of-the-art technology, combined with the artistic skill of the hair restoration surgeon.

What Are the Benefits of a NeoGraft Hair Restoration?

Many clients choose NeoGraft because of these benefits:

Precise & accurate.
Minimally invasive with no linear scars on the back of the head.
No stitches required.
No cutting required.
Natural results.
Little-to-no discomfort.
Quick recovery.
Long-lasting results.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a NeoGraft Hair Restoration?

Individuals 25 years of age or older with hair loss can benefit from NeoGraft hair restoration. Ideal candidates will have thick hair fibers, have hair loss that is not caused by stress or medication, and be free of conditions that may affect surgery, such as unmanaged diabetes, high blood pressure, or conditions that affect blood clotting. The best way to determine if this treatment is right for you is through a consultation with double board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Thomas Walker.

What’s the First Step?

The first step toward restoring your hair with NeoGraft is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Walker at WalkerMD in Atlanta.

You’ll have the chance to talk about your hair loss concerns, medical history, and goals, as well as ask any questions you may have for him. Dr. Walker will then evaluate your scalp, hair quality, and donor area to determine if NeoGraft is the best option for you.

From there, the team will guide you through scheduling your procedure and preparing for a smooth, comfortable experience on the day of your NeoGraft hair restoration.

What to Expect on the Day of NeoGraft Hair Restoration

First, Dr. Walker and his team will shave either your entire head or the section of the head from which hair follicles will be donated (typically the back of your head). Then, Dr. Walker and his team will utilize the NeoGraft system to skillfully and precisely extract individual hair follicles from the back of your head after injecting the donor and recipient sites with a local anesthetic solution. Most patients also take a pain-relieving medication to ensure complete comfort during the procedure. The handpiece then moves the follicles into the storage area of the system, where they are lightly misted with a saline solution to prepare them for transplantation. Once prepared, the follicles are transplanted into the balding recipient site(s) of the head. We pay special attention to the direction that your hair is growing so that your new hair will blend in naturally. Patients will bring a snack with them, be able to use the bathroom if needed, and eat a snack during breaks.

NeoGraft Hair Restoration Recovery

Following NeoGraft hair restoration, your treatment sites will be tender, and bandages will be placed on the treated areas for 48 hours. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed to lower the risk of infection and calm any irritation. The transplants should heal within about one week, and most people can return to their everyday routine within two weeks. Most people do not need to take time off from their jobs after surgery, depending on the nature of their job. Patients are allowed to wash their hair after a couple of days again. Dr. Walker will provide you with specific recovery instructions to ensure you properly care for your grafts after surgery. Most transplanted hair will fully grow back over 3-6 months.
