The Hair Transplant Procedure in our Staten Island, NY office
We specialize in advanced medical and surgical techniques for treating hair loss for men and women, including FUT, FUE, Eyebrow and Facial Hair Restoration, PRP and Medical Therapies.
The hair transplantation procedure usually takes place in the morning and lasts approximately 3.5 to 5 hours, depending on the number of grafts to be transplanted. Patients are asked to eat a hearty breakfast and come in with their hair washed. Before the patient is prepped for hair restoration surgery, pictures are taken by a trained photographer using a studio light setup. The use of photography allows IHSG and the patient to accurately document their hair restoration progress.
With the NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplant System, the FUE procedure is efficient and produces consistently natural results!
A FUE hair transplant with NeoGraft can be done in the same amount of time as a “strip” hair transplant, reducing the cost of an FUE transplant. In addition to reducing the time required for the transplant, NeoGraft uses pneumatic pressure to extract the follicles and implant them, which means no risk of damage to the hair follicles.
The procedure is performed with local anesthetic and no intravenous or intra-muscular sedation is required. With FUE there is no visible scarring allowing the hair to be worn short. There is little chance with FUE of damage to nerves, causing pain, or damage to major blood vessels. There are fewer limitations on activities for the first few weeks compared to the “strip” surgery.
