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.
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.
