About the Clinic

International Hair Surgical Group specializes in advanced hair restoration techniques, primarily focusing on Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). They also offer Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), also known as strip harvesting. The FUE method involves extracting individual follicular units, which results in no linear scar, allowing for shorter hair in the donor area post-procedure. The FUT procedure can harvest a larger quantity of hair in a shorter amount of time. International Hair Surgical Group has multiple locations across New York and New Jersey.

The clinic offers a range of hair loss treatments for both men and women, including eyebrow and facial hair restoration, as well as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy and other medical treatments. They have been a leader in hair restoration since 1991, with surgeons who are board-certified. The practice highlights its use of the NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplant System for precise FUE procedures, aiming for natural-looking results and patient comfort.

Procedures Offered

FUE
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a small circular punch tool. The harvested follicles are then carefully implanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. This method leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars rather than a linear scar, resulting in faster healing and the ability to wear shorter hairstyles. Because of this, FUE is the most popular hair transplant technique today.
FUT
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the "strip method," involves surgically removing a narrow strip of scalp from the donor area, typically the back of the head. The strip is then carefully dissected under a microscope to separate individual hair follicles, which are implanted into the recipient areas. While this technique leaves a linear scar that requires longer hair to conceal, it allows surgeons to harvest a large number of high-quality grafts in a single session, making it cost-effective for patients needing extensive coverage.
NeoGraft
NeoGraft is an automated hair transplant device that streamlines the FUE process using pneumatic technology to maintain consistent suction and speed up the harvesting process while still requiring the surgeon's skill and judgment for follicle selection and placement. The system works as an extension of the surgeon's technique to extract and implant individual hair follicles more efficiently than fully manual methods. NeoGraft can reduce procedure time and potentially improve graft survival rates. It represents a middle ground between manual FUE and completely robotic systems.
