NeoGraft Hair Transplant - 31 Year Old Male with Moderate Baldness

My motivation to get this procedure was my insecurity of my increasing baldness so I decided to be proactive about it rather than continue band aids like Propecia or Rogaine. My baldness was the type of thinning in the frontal area which is really untreatable other than by this procedure. I did some research and found Dr. Adam Saad's practice. His website provided some good insight but I wanted to know more; I was sick of seeing the bosely commercials and wanted to talk to plastic surgeon in person. I set up an appointment and met with Dr. Saad. He explained to me how his practice utilizes the most up to date NeoGraft machine. Dont quote me but I believe the NeoGraph machine they use is 1 of 8 in area, with 7 being in NYC and their machine being the only 1 in NJ. The machine apparently minimizes damage/scarring and is able to harvest the the hairs in the cleanest fashion. I am very into technology and a firm believer if you have the choice always go with the newest technology. I was also told that that within a week I would have minimal appearance of the procedure, so I decided to go for it. The staff was great and comforting. On the day of my procedure, the worst part was the needles numbing my skin, mainly bc I have a fear of needles, after that I felt nothing. I got there at 8am, the first part of the procedure took approx 3 hours, which was to harvest the hair to be transplanted. This came from the back and side of my head. They where able to take a little from here and there, in a random fashion, so there was no real tramatized area rather it was spread out. Also I believe the machine took the hair so cleanly that it healed very quickly after and actually closed up by the end of the procedure. After the harvest it was like 11:30am, Dr. Saad bought me lunch, then by Noon where started the planting. That took until about 2:30pm and then I was all done. The staff was so efficient and nice. I mostly slept during the procedure and listened to music. I drove myself there and home so sedation was not an issue. I took it easy over the weekend and even received a personal phone call from Dr. Saad which was nice. I was somewhat self conscious about the procedure so I took the week off from work. I went back to work the next week and no one in the office said anything. They didnt even notice that I had a procedure done. Its too early to see the results but the technology used, efficiency of staff, skill of Dr. Saad, and most important the minimal invasiveness/recovery time makes me realized I chose the right people to take care of me. I highly recommend this procedure, machine and practice.
