NeoGraft Follicular Unit Extraction Hair Transplant Benefits

Man With Full Head of Hair

If you’re considering a hair transplant, the NeoGraft® Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) treatment is today’s preferred way to regenerate a thicker head of hair. LM Medical NYC offers the procedure as part of our line of hair restoration services to help our patients overcome the effects of hair loss.

What is FUE?

During a NeoGraft FUE procedure, our elite team of grafting specialists surgically extract individual hair follicles instead of entire strips, as with a traditional approach. They take the follicles from a donor part of your body and implant them in the balding area.

NeoGraft FUE Benefits

There are many benefits to the FUE method of hair transplantation. So, keep reading to see if it is suitable for you!

FUE is a Confidence Booster

Losing your hair can seriously impact your self-esteem and even cause worry, despair or other emotional issues. Therefore, hair regrowth with FUE could provide you with a much-needed confidence boost.

FUE Delivers Fuller, Thicker Results

FUE delivers outstanding results with a 90-95% survival rate. To compare, the “strip” approach (FUT) has a 75% survival rate. This is possible because FUE’s precise harvesting approach causes minor trauma to the hair follicles for more healthy hair afterward.

The Results are Permanent

The results of FUE are permanent. You will experience some fallout a few weeks after getting hair transplants, but it will grow back strong and healthy.

FUE Leaves No Visible Scars

Because FUE extraction sites are so small (less than 1mm), scarring is virtually undetectable. The doctor’s tiny incisions where the hair follicles are transplanted heal without a trace. While small scabs form in the target area after surgery, they heal within ten days.

You Feel Minor Discomfort During and After Treatment

We use long-acting anesthetics to numb your scalp during surgery, so the procedure is painless, and there is minor post-surgical pain and discomfort. Thus, over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol are usually enough to get you through the night after your operation. Nearly all patients report no pain after 24 hours, with the average full recovery time being under a week.

FUE’s Recovery Period is Ultra-Short

NeoGraft FUE hair transplants can regrow your hair without requiring weeks of rehabilitation. You will not have any staples or stitches to worry about, so you can resume most everyday activities in one to two days.

FUE is an In-Office Procedure

At LM Medical NYC, we complete your FUE with NeoGraft as an in-office procedure. You can even drive yourself to and from your appointment because the process is done under a local anesthetic.

Opting for a hair transplant is a significant decision that can provide enormous personal joy. Contact LM Medical NYC to learn more about FUE and your hair restoration alternatives.

  • Dr. Morgan Rabach and her staff provide top tier care and excellent service. Dr. Rabach is well-versed in the latest research. She made lots of time to discuss my dermatological history (what’s worked, what hasn’t worked, what hasn’t been tried) and all the available treatments to find the best path forward. She didn’t settle - pushing to make sure I got the best results possible. Would recommend without any reservations!
