Hair loss, thinning hair restored without leaving a large scar, says Philadelphia plastic surgeon.

Dec. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Philadelphia -  The technology for restoring thinning hair  has come a long way in just a few years. The “NeoGraft”  system is the first FDA approved automated hair transplant device for the  follicular unit extraction (FUE) method of hair restoration, known for producing the most natural-looking results. Hair is harvested without leaving the large linear scar associated with the conventional  “strip graft donor harvesting method”.  Instead, hair follicles are gently lifted out of the scalp with a tiny instrument and gentle suction, and then placed into the bald or thinning areas with reverse air pressure.This procedure is also ideal for women, including those in need of eye brow restoration.

According to Dr. Paul Glat, NeoGraft offers many advantages over traditional “strip excision” transplants. Not only is there no long linear scar, there is no need for painful suturing, healing time is substantially faster, hair styles may be shorter and previous patients thought to have exhausted donor areas are again viable transplant candidates. Results are incredibly more natural due the precision of this process.

"Now we rarely do the strip method with it’s long incision, the more painful postoperative period and potential scarring," says Dr. Glat.  Also, we have been able to use the NeoGraft 
to perform procedures on patients who were not good candidates for a traditional procedure due to lack of enough donor hair. We’ve also had many patients who never would have considered hair restoration if they had to end up with a long scar on the back of their 
head."
