How long between Neograft hair transplant sessions?

With FUE procedures, I like patients to wait about 6 months before coming back for a second procedure in the same area.  If it is a different area we are transplanting (donor zone being the same) then I have patients wait a minimum of 3 months.  This allows enough time for both the scalp and donor zone to heal appropriately.

Dear Southern Man,
Thank you for posting this question. A Neograft device is just a tool used to complete a portion of a type of a hair restoration procedure called “Follicular Unit Extraction”, or FUE. You can have a second FUE procedure abou 6-8 months following the initial procedure, which allows time for the follicles initially transplanted to re-enter the growth phase. I hope this information is helpful to you.
Kind Regards,

In my practice, I typically recommend that patients wait one year between NeoGraft FUE Hair Transplant sessions.  I recommend waiting one years time for several reasons:1.  It can take 12-15 months to see full growth of hairs from transplanted hair follicles; 2.  You would not want to disturb or affect the integrity of the newly transplanted grafts; and3.  It can take up to one year for all inflammation of the donor site to subside following a hair transplant procedure.As you can see from the other responses that this question has received, surgeons do vary on the length of time that they wait between sessions and because of this I would recommend that you defer to your operating surgeons recommendation.  I hope this helps and best of luck!

We are extremely excited about bringing Neograft into our practice.  Recommendations are 6-8 months between grafting procedures.  Secondary procedures may be unnecessary as single sessions may successfully transfer up to 2500 grafts unless more density is desired.

If you are not transplanting into the same recipient area as your first session, I would recommend waiting a minimum of 3 months after the first session before considering transplanting again, primarily to give the donor area some time to recover.
If you do want to transplant some hair into the same area as your first session, I would recommend waiting at least 9-12 months in order to be able to see the transplanted hair growth from the first session and plan the location and direction of the new follicles accordingly.
All the best,

Thank you for your question, Southern man. NeoGraft is intended to be a permanent solution. You may wait 6 weeks or longer depending on your healing process if you would like to treat a different area. Always see a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Thank you for your question.  I would normally recommend waiting 6 months if you are borrowing follicles from the same area but transplanting them into a new area.  I would add another 6 months (i.e. a year) if you are wanting to add more density to the same area.

In general you need to wait until the transplanted hairs grow out.  However, if you are having surgery on a different area of the head, then timing is not much of an issue.  You need an examination of your donor area and a discussion with your doctor.  

...minimum of 8 months to a year if its the same area.  However, if it's a new area remote from the initial procedure it could theoretically be done sooner.

Excellent question. If it goes to the same area for more density grafted before, you would wait a year to prevent grafting on top of grafts that have not yet started growing hair yet.If you you are grafting to a new area, you can probably get it done 3 months after the first NeoGraft session. The donor site should be ready by then.Thank you for your question, and good luck.
