27 y/o. 1st procedure - frontal 1/3 + peaks using the Neograft. Unfortunately, very few of the grafts took. Procedure re-done at no charge using ARTAS. He was happy with the post-op hairline. I understand there are limits to every procedure. I am a dentist myself. I know you should never promise a patient the world (no one is a miracle worker). I want to avoid Roagine (he suggested using it on the grafts). Does it look like he placed 2000 grafts and are they dense enough? Moisturizers on grafts?
