NeoGraft-Hair Restoration

NeoGraft Hair Transplant

Rivela Plastic Surgery is excited to introduce the NEWEST “state of the art” solution for hair loss for men and women.  The first MINIMALLY INVASIVE, FDA approved, hair transplant system.

What is NeoGraft?

Neograft is a new hair transplantation device which facilitates individual hair follicle harvesting during an FUE ( Follicular unit extraction) hair transplant, dramatically improving the accuracy and the speed over previously used manual extraction or "strip" technique of hair restoration used to promote new hair growth.  Dr. Lucian Rivela is the first board certified plastic surgeon in The Woodlands, Houston, Spring and South Texas areas to offer the NeoGraft FUE hair transplant and hair restoration for the treatment of thinning hair and balding hair in female or male patterned hair loss.

What is an FUE transplant?

"FUE" or "Follicular-Unit Extraction" is an advanced, minimally-invasive hair transplant method which allows for the harvesting of individual follicles from the donor site without a scalpel or stitches, and therefore leaves no linear scar.           

What are the benefits of the FUE transplant over "strip" or linear harvested techniques?

The benefits of the FUE method are that there is minimal discomfort, no scalpel incision, no sutures, no linear scar, little to no risk of complications, quick recovery time, fewer activity limitations and a more natural looking result than traditional strip methods (patients can wear their hair short if they choose too without an unsightly scar).

What are the advantages of NeoGraft Automated Hair Restoration over manual FUE transplants?

The highly ergonomic mechanical Neograft works as a natural extention of the surgeon's hand, allowing for faster and more accurate harvesting of hair follicles. Neograft patients now reach their goal with less time in the procedure chair and fewer procedures altogether.

The “minimally invasive” NeoGraft Automated (FUE) and Implantation Hair Restoration procedure is quickly becoming the new “Gold Standard” for hair transplant procedures.

Why should the new hair grow when the old hair didn't?
 

The genetic patterns assosiated with male and female hair loss, thinning and balding are very location oriented.  Movement of the follicles do not effect the genetic makers which order the hair to grow as if it was still located in the denser back section of the head. Although the hair follicle has been surgically moved the genetic marker does not change."

How do I know if I would be a good candidate?

Anyone who might want less pain, quicker recovery and who have sufficient thickness of donor hair on the back of their scalp to transplant is a candidate.  Neograft is especially for individuals who would like the continued option of choosing to wear a very short hair in the back or sides of their head and scalp, or for those who want the least amount of activity restriction (such as athletes) after their hair transplant procedure. Neograft/ FUE can also be used for "scar camouflage" procedures for patients who have had prior styles of older of hair restoration such as linear harvests methods to try to better hide the previous scar, as well as for individuals seeking body hair transplants.
