How NeoGraft’s FUE Hair Transplant, available at Advanced Cosmetic Medicine, has revolutionised restoring hairlines.

Fifty percent of Australian men and women struggle with some form of hair thinning or hair loss in their lifetime, leading dermatologists in Vogue Australia reveal.

Stress, postpartum hormones and genetics are just some factors that can contribute to thinning strands, but there is now a way to regrow and restore your hair.

Available at Advanced Cosmetic Medicine, the revolutionary NeoGraft FUE Hair Transplant is a one-day procedure that uses Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to encourage natural hair growth in thinning and balding areas in as little as four to six months.

NeoGraft is globally ground-breaking. Unlike traditional hair transplants, this state-of-the-art procedure uses a semi-automated handheld device to extract individual hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the head). This technique leaves only small scars and maintains follicle health by minimising trauma to each follicle. It also allows leading cosmetic experts, like Dr Rahma Targett from Advanced Cosmetic Medicine, to individually implant the hair into the desired area, resulting in a more natural and restored hairline.

Treatment can take up to eight hours to perform, depending on the number of hair follicles needed. Local anaesthetic is administered to numb the scalp in both the donor and reprint areas. The procedure is well tolerated, and you should feel little discomfort during the hair transplantation process.

The specialised treatment requires an experienced practitioner; Dr Targett has more than two decades of experience as a medical doctor and is an associate member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), which is a leading authority on hair loss treatment and restoration.

With precise skills she is able to ensure only the healthiest follicles are selected before inserting them into the recipient sites. The NeoGraft method, compared to traditional methods, means the follicles are outside of the body for only a short amount of time, ensuring optimal follicle health and survival rate.

As with any procedure, the NeoGraft FUE Hair Transplant isn’t suitable for everyone. Patients must not have any serious medical issues that could impact the treatment’s healing process (alopecia or high blood pressure) and must not have severe keloid scars. Further, the treatment works best on those with only moderate hair loss. It is recommended that hair loss medication, such as doctor-prescribed Finasteride and Minoxidil, be used to prevent further hair loss.

Following the transplant, patients may feel some discomfort as the swelling subsides, but will be able to return to work three days after the procedure. Over the next few months, patients may see some follicles fall out – this is normal and signifies that the hair follicles are in the ‘resting phase’.

Growth can happen anywhere between the three-to-four-month mark post-operation, with the final result usually taking between 12 to 14 months to be seen. Follicles harvested from the back of the head are not prone to balding, so once implanted in the balding areas these follicles will be permanent. This revolutionary step forward in hair transplantation, coupled with Dr Targett’s skills and experience, will leave your hair looking replenished and refreshed, not only improving its appearance, but hopefully your confidence for years to come.
