Some 35 million men and 21 women in the United States experience unwanted hair loss. Yet despite the widespread nature of the condition and the large number of people affected, experiencing it personally can be unnerving and cause reduced self-confidence and esteem.
With Neograft hair transplant in Austin, we can reverse unwanted hair loss and help you regain your self and sexual confidence in a treatment that is only minimally invasive, requires little recovery downtime, and leaves no permanent linear scarring.
Hair loss can occur due to a very wide variety of conditions. One’s age, nationality, sex, genetic makeup, general overall health and diet, and certain traumas can exacerbate the condition. The result is early onset hair loss that lowers esteem and increases self-consciousness. Hair thinning and hair loss refers to any condition in which the degree of hair loss doesn’t match one’s age. All of us lose hair at times. Some of us lose more than is healthy or normal.
At Hair of Austin at Austin Face & Body, we correct receding hairlines, thinning hair, and bald spots with NeoGraft’s proprietary automated hair transplant system. The NeoGraft procedure is a minimally invasive and relatively minor surgical procedure. It produces permanent, natural results, and patients easily manage the recovery period.
Our patients routinely tell us the entire process was very bearable, well worth it, and was, in fact, life-changing.
Of all existing hair restoration options, NeoGraft is one of the most advanced and successful treatment systems available. Guided by our hair restoration experts, the semi-automated system harvests many hundreds of healthy hairs from selected donor sites on the head, isolates and preserves those follicles, and then implants them into areas of the hair that are thinning, receding, or have gone bald entirely.
NeoGraft is a suitable and effective treatment for thinning hair, receding hairlines, and male patterns or other baldness. Depending on the size and state of the affected area, additional treatment sessions may be required. We want to help you meet or exceed your hair restoration goals and have realistic expectations for your treatment. In a personal consultation, our experts will let you know exactly what to expect for the best possible results.
You are likely a candidate for NeoGraft hair transplant in Austin if:
Cease smoking and/or taking blood-thinning medications at least a week prior to your FUE hair transplant in Austin. Stop any at-home hair treatments (routine hair care is okay.) If your hair is a very light color, we may dye it beforehand but don’t do so on your own at this time.
NeoGraft is done under local anesthesia. No linear cuts or incisions are made, and stitches are not required. Most patients can return to work the day after treatment. Non-narcotic pain medication may be required. The donor site will have been shaved (but not left bald), and you may have redness or swelling there that lasts up to days but usually subsides within 2 or 3.

Yes, absolutely. NeoGraft is minimally invasive and is an excellent option for people of all genders who wish to restore healthy, youthful locks.
Conventional hair replacement techniques use the “strip” method (FUT), which removes a strip of donor hairs from the back of the patient’s head, leaving behind a linear scar. NeoGraft is minimally invasive and is a variation on the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method. It involves the use of an automated device that precisely and strategically harvests hair follicles from areas resistant to hair loss. It selects the best follicles possible and then implants them in areas of thinning, where they eventually sprout fully functioning hair shafts. There is no scarring, pain, or lengthy recovery with NeoGraft.
FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. It is less invasive than the traditional FUT method of hair replacement. Instead of harvesting a strip of hair, only individual follicles are selected and transferred. No scalpel or sutures are used, so there is no scarring left behind.
While costs are comparable for both approaches, NeoGraft and other FUE techniques involve much more detailed and intricate work, so you are getting more for your money.
No. Only small areas need to be shaved during the process. These regions can be covered with your normal hair after the procedure.
NeoGraft can take 4-10 hours to perform, depending on the extent of the work. For most, one session is sufficient to achieve your cosmetic goals.
The treatment area is typically numbed with a topical anesthetic prior to NeoGraft, so discomfort is greatly minimized. Light sedation is sometimes offered for patients who are especially sensitive to scalp pain. After NeoGraft, you may experience some mild tenderness at the donor sites, but this usually wears off in a matter of days.
While no cosmetic procedure is ever 100% guaranteed, before and after photographs show remarkable improvements with NeoGraft. You can investigate others’ experiences with NeoGraft on RealSelf.com, where the procedure has a 96% approval rating.
Since there are no incisions involved with NeoGraft, recovery time is much faster than it is for FUT. The new hair grafts may look slightly raised at first and may feel tender, but these issues resolve within about one week. Minor scabbing may also occur, with scabs flaking off within 507 days. Most patients can return to their normal activities within two weeks.
You will receive thorough aftercare instructions after NeoGraft regarding topics such as shampoos and conditioners, haircare products, and topical anesthetics, should you feel any discomfort. There are no sutures, so you will not need to return to the office to have them removed.
