About the Clinic

International Hair Surgical Group is a hair restoration clinic that specializes in advanced surgical techniques such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT). The FUE method focuses on removing individual follicular units, which results in no linear scar. This approach is generally considered more comfortable than older methods and allows for shorter hair in the donor area after the procedure. International Hair Surgical Group also offers FUT, which can be beneficial for transplanting a larger amount of hair in a shorter time.

The clinic has been a leader in hair restoration since 1991 and serves patients in New York, New Jersey, and internationally. They offer a range of services beyond FUE and FUT, including eyebrow and facial hair restoration, as well as PRP and medical therapies for hair loss. International Hair Surgical Group emphasizes a patient-centered approach, aiming to meet each patient's specific needs and offering consultations to discuss individual hair loss concerns.

While specific patient reviews for International Hair Surgical Group were not readily available in the search results, general sentiment from related search results indicates satisfaction with hair transplant procedures.

The thoroughness of consultations and the clear explanation of expectations, from shedding to regrowth, are frequently cited as reasons for patient satisfaction.

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.
