Neograft is essentially Follicular Unit Extraction that is performed with vacuum suction technology. Adding a vacuum feature to the procedure is intended to facilitate speed. However, speed and quality outcomes do not necessarily go hand in hand.

Follicles are fragile structures. During a hair transplant repair, each follicle  must be treated with the utmost care. An important piece of information that deserves greater awareness is that air drying is the leading cause of follicular death during hair transplantation.

Therefore using a vacuum in Neograft surgeries to extract and reinsert hair follicles is likely to damage them. And this may have a negative affect on hair yield following the procedure.

However, patients of Neograft can request to have the suction turned off.

A Highly Skilled FUE Practitioner Is A Better Alternative to Neograft

The features of Neograft may seem to be very impressive. Upon closer inspection, it entails risks that may compromise quality outcomes. The best hair transplants can only be possible through a skilled and experienced surgeon who has a track record of excellent results.

Here are some guidelines to choosing the right FUE service provider

1) Get written verification that a licensed physician will be performing the surgery.

Many companies who provide FUE technology have been reported to provide younger clinics with “trainers” to perform Follicular Unit Extraction procedures as needed. These trainers are not medical doctors and nor are they licensed to administer any type of surgical procedures. In California and other states, this is illegal. If a patient has chosen a clinic to perform an FUE procedure, a written statement should be issued:

• to verify that only a licensed medical doctor will be performing the surgery.
• to specify the names of the physicians who will be administering the procedure.

 2) Ask for photos of actual results.

It is important to choose an FUE service provider who is capable of delivering excellent outcomes. The use of highly touted technology may seem very sophisticated and advanced to many people.

But ultimately what matters are the results of the procedure. Ethical clinics who prioritize patient satisfaction should have no issues with presenting before and after pictures of real patients whom they have worked on in the past.
