At Rivela Hair Restoration, we tailor every treatment plan to your unique hair loss pattern, goals, and health history.
Dr. Lucian Rivela, M.D., F.A.C.S., is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and personally performs all hair transplant surgery at our practice.

NeoGraft Hair Restoration at Rivela Hair Restoration
Our practice offers NeoGraft hair restoration, a minimally invasive technique that uses follicular unit extraction to harvest and transplant individual hair follicles with precision. The NeoGraft device automates part of the extraction process, which helps support a more comfortable experience and consistent results compared to traditional strip methods.
During NeoGraft hair restoration, individual hair follicles are gently extracted from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, and then placed into balding areas or regions of thinning. Because the extracted follicles are your own healthy hair follicles, transplanted hair tends to grow naturally and blend seamlessly with your existing hair follicles over time.
NeoGraft hair transplant surgery is minimally invasive, leaves no linear scar, and typically involves a shorter recovery time than older surgical approaches. Most patients appreciate the natural-looking results and the lasting quality that follicular unit extraction can provide.
Are You a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant Surgery?
The best way to determine whether you are a good candidate for a hair transplant is through a personal consultation with Dr. Rivela. That said, many patients who benefit from hair restoration share certain characteristics:
- Experiencing noticeable thinning hair or baldness that has stabilized
- Have sufficient donor site density to support follicular unit extraction
- Are in overall good health with realistic cosmetic goals
- Desire natural-looking results without the appearance of a transplant
- Men dealing with male pattern baldness or a receding hairline
- Women experiencing diffuse thinning or hair loss related to hormonal changes
- Patients who prefer a minimally invasive approach with reduced recovery time
Both men and women throughout the Spring, TX area, including patients from Tomball, Conroe, Cypress, Kingwood, and The Woodlands, TX, have explored hair restoration at our practice. Whatever your background or concerns, we welcome the opportunity to help you understand your options.

What to Expect: Your Hair Transplant Procedure
Consultation and Treatment Plan
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Rivela evaluates your scalp, donor area, and the extent of your hair loss. Together, you will discuss your cosmetic goals and develop a personalized treatment plan. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions about cost, financing options, and what to expect during healing.
The Day of Your Procedure
On the day of your hair transplant, the donor site is prepared, and local anesthesia is used to enhance your comfort. The NeoGraft device then works to extract individual hair follicles, which are carefully placed into areas of thinning or baldness. Most patients tolerate the procedure well and describe manageable discomfort throughout.
Recovery and New Hair Growth
Following your procedure, most patients experience some mild swelling and tenderness in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few days. New hair growth generally begins to appear within three to six months, with more noticeable results visible around the twelve-month mark. Individual results may vary, and Dr. Rivela will discuss what a realistic timeline looks like for you specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Transplant in Spring, TX
Still have questions? Call our team at (281) 771-1684 or reach out online to speak with us directly.
How long do hair transplant results last?
Transplanted hair that successfully takes root tends to produce long-lasting results, as the follicles are resistant to the hormonal processes that cause typical hair loss. However, it is important to understand that existing hair follicles in untreated areas may continue to thin over time. Dr. Rivela will discuss what permanent results mean for your specific hair loss pattern during your consultation.
Is NeoGraft hair restoration appropriate for women?
Yes. Women experiencing thinning hair or diffuse hair loss may be good candidates for NeoGraft hair restoration, depending on the cause and pattern of their hair loss. A thorough evaluation with Dr. Rivela will determine whether this advanced hair restoration approach aligns with your needs and goals.
How much does a hair transplant cost in Spring, TX?
The cost of hair restoration varies depending on the extent of hair loss, the number of follicles transplanted, and your individualized treatment plan. We encourage patients to schedule a consultation to receive an accurate estimate. Financing options may be available to help make treatment accessible.
What is the difference between NeoGraft and traditional hair transplant surgery?
Traditional hair transplant surgery often involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, which can leave a linear scar. NeoGraft uses follicular unit extraction to extract individual hair follicles without a strip incision, resulting in a minimally invasive procedure with no linear scarring and a typically shorter recovery time.
Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant if my hair loss is still progressing?
Patients with actively progressing hair loss may benefit from waiting until their baldness stabilizes before undergoing hair transplant surgery. Dr. Rivela evaluates each patient individually and may recommend a customized treatment plan that addresses both current and anticipated hair loss patterns.
How many sessions will I need for full hair restoration?
Many patients achieve their cosmetic goals in a single hair transplant session, though the number of sessions depends on factors such as the extent of thinning and the density desired. During your consultation, Dr. Rivela will outline a realistic treatment plan based on your individual hair loss and goals.
Is the NeoGraft hair transplant procedure safe?
NeoGraft hair restoration has an established safety profile when performed by a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon. As with any medical procedure, potential risks exist and will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation. Dr. Rivela’s extensive experience in hair transplantation helps support positive outcomes for his patients.
When will I see new hair growth after my transplant?
Most patients begin to notice new hair growth around three to six months following their procedure, with continued improvement through the twelve-month mark. Full results typically become visible within a year. Individual results may vary based on health, healing, and the specifics of your hair restoration procedure.
