NeoGraft® Technology
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is the pinnacle of surgical hair restoration procedures today, and NeoGraft represents the biggest advancement for the already revolutionary method. We are proud to offer state-of-the-art hair restoration with the NeoGraft hair transplant system to our Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale patients.
What is the FUE technique?
Simply put, FUE involves the collection and transplantation of thousands of individual follicular units from healthy donor areas on the scalp. While this effort can be made by hand, NeoGraft improves on the manual technique by using a negative pressure system to precisely and rapidly extract each hair follicle. The hair follicles are removed completely intact with minimal trauma to the surrounding scalp.
What to Expect with a NeoGraft FUE Hair Transplant
The FUE process is better than follicular unit transplant (FUT) for many patients because it truly minimizes scarring, eliminating the need for long incisions, sutures, or staples, and allowing patients to comfortably wear their hair short in the future. The results are frequently lauded for their natural look, and the procedure is less invasive than similar methods, resulting in preservation of sensation in the donor area and much quicker recovery time
Our patients report returning to work soon after the procedure, and in some instances, within 72 hours of the procedure.

NeoGraft® Technology & Preparing for a Hair Restoration FAQs
While many of the advanced techniques used at the Lieberman & Parikh Center for Hair Restoration are less invasive than other surgeries, they still involve methods that will cause some bleeding. Patients are advised to cut back on anything that may increase the risk of bleeding or limit healing at least a week before their scheduled procedure.
This may include:
- Advil, ibuprofen, and similar medications
- Alcohol intake
- Any medications that reduce the ability to form a blood clot such as Coumadin, Plavix, and aspirin (if medically appropriate)
Talk to your primary care physician about any daily or regular medications you are required to take and how they may interact with your hair restoration plans. Your continued health and safety is most important, but a delayed or otherwise altered schedule may be possible.
Patients who don’t smoke or who stop smoking for at least two weeks before their hair restoration can have improved healing due to well-oxygenated blood and improved blood flow.
Patients will receive a more detailed list from their doctor explaining what to avoid in the days and hours preceding a procedure in order to minimize risks and complications and maximize the aesthetic outcome.
Follicular unit extraction requires that patients have the back and sides of their hair cut very closely to the scalp. For men, this typically means shaving with the razor at a No. 1 or 0 setting. While the Lieberman & Parikh Center for Hair Restoration team will cut your hair on the morning of your appointment, we recommend that male patients “try on” a shorter haircut for the back and sides about one week before coming in. While short hair is necessary for an FUE, it also gives the patient and those around him some time to get used to a new hairstyle so that a close-cropped scalp does not comes as a shock immediately after the procedure.
For women, the doctors use existing hair to cover thin strips shaved into the donor sites, so female FUE patients are encouraged to grow their hair out as long as possible and wear it in a style with the procedure in mind.
Preparation for a hair restoration procedure should include familiarizing yourself with what will come immediately after. While you will receive specific care instructions that should be followed, know that you should generally plan on taking antibiotics and other medications to help with healing, sleeping with your head elevated for about a week, refraining from strenuous physical activity for the same amount of time, avoiding vigorous hair washing for several days, and scheduling appointments for follow-up care with the doctors.
