OC Aesthetics is enthusiastic to announce our hair restoration and hair transplant program is now using the most modern Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, called NeoGraft™. OC Aesthetics is the first microsurgical hair restoration facility to bring this newest and latest technology of aesthetic hair restoration to Orange County.

NeoGraft is a revolutionary patented hair transplantation device that advances and refines the procedure of hair transplants. The NeoGraft system is the product of ten years of research and development, offering the next generation in hair transplantation a more reproducible and aesthetically appealing hairline. NeoGraft is currently being used in Europe and Asia and has been recently FDA cleared for use in the U.S. Over 6,000 hair transplants have been done with this device in the last two years with excellent results.

TWO METHODS OF HARVESTING HAIR FOLLICLES-STRIP V. NEOGRAFT

Currently there are two modern methods used in doing transplants: The STRIP harvesting method and the FUE method using NeoGraft. With the Strip method, a section of scalp is excised and the scalp is sewn together. Next, the hair follicles or grafts including their bulbs are separated from each other into units of one to four hairs by the technicians and inserted into tiny slits in the balding area. The follicles with a single hair are placed in the front to define the hairline.

Using the FUE method with NeoGraft, the scalp is not excised as small hair follicle units are removed directly from the donor area. In this hair restoration procedure, a 0.8 mm punch excision is used in the skin around the upper part of the follicular unit (hair follicles). The hair follicle is then extracted directly from the scalp and placed into tiny slits in the balding area similar to the STRIP method.

QUICKER RECOVERY AND NO SCARS

The NeoGraft™ FUE technique is less invasive than the traditional STRIP method used by most surgeons today. Our patients save time and money because this new technology allows greater hair grafts than current traditional microsurgical techniques. Most importantly, there is no unsightly scar that is associated with the older STRIP excision technique. This office based procedure and technique more importantly allows for a quicker recovery.

NO SURGICAL CUTTING OF SCALP

NeoGraft™ is the most recently developed hair transplant procedure that does not involve incisions like the STRIP method still used by most doctors today. With the NeoGraft™FUE technique there is no cutting of the scalp and therefore no suturing, no visible scarring. There is virtually no bleeding and almost immediate surgical recovery.

Up to 1500 GRAFTS PER DAY

The NeoGraft™ FUE method of hair trasnplantation removes individual hair follicles from the scalp in their naturally occurring groupings of about 1-4 hairs. NeoGraft™ revolutionizes FUE hair transplantation by using 0.8mm punch grafts that allows for a higher percentage of survivable hair grafts and a more natural look. Our surgical team commonly harvests up to 1500 graft per a day placed using this surgical technique.
