The Procedure

The traditional hair transplant method, known as FUT (follicular unit transplantation), requires a surgically invasive procedure. Sometimes called the "strip" method, this procedure involves surgically excising a section of scalp, then suturing or stapling the resulting wound. The excised scalp section then is divided up and placed under microscopes, so that technicians can separate the grafts into units of 1 to 4 hairs. Single hair units are placed in the front for a hairline effect, with the remainder used for hair density. Single follicles ( follicular unit extraction FUE) can be extracted as well which, eliminating the strip, but is a lengthy, tedious process.

NeoGraft Benefits

In contrast to the invasive surgery required for the "strip" hair transplant approach, the NeoGraft method for Birmingham hair transplant offers these benefits:

  • Significantly safer and minimally invasive: the NeoGraft hair transplant method utilizes a process known as FUE (follicular unit extraction). Excision of a strip of the scalp is not needed. Instead, Dr. Beckenstein removes the follicles directly from the donor area using the Neograft unit.
  • Minimal bleeding and fewer complications: After the follicles are removed, they are separated into units and implanted in the same way as the "strip" method. With Neograft technology, this is faster and more efficient. Only local anesthetic is required, with no intravenous or intra-muscular sedation needed.
  • Fast and easy recovery: Patients experience only minimal discomfort, as no scalpel incision or sutures are needed for the FUE method. And because NeoGraft relies on pneumatic pressure to extract the follicles and implant them, it's known as the "No Touch" method. As a result, there is less trauma to the hair follicles improving their survival.
  • Natural-looking results: In contrast to the FUT method, the FUE procedure offers a full,more natural looking head of hair. Patients can even wear their hair cut short without having to worry about a scar.
  • More cost-effective: Dr. Beckenstein can replace more hair in a single session, saving his patients time and money.
