I underwent a Neograft session two months ago. How soon can I return for another Neograft session? The donor area would be the same (lower back of the head). The recipient area would be an adjacent, new area.

Answer: Wait at least 3 months 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,

Answer: How long to wait between NeoGraft FUE Hair Transplant sessions 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!

Answer: Wait 6 months if extracting from the same or nearby donor site to new region. 9-12 months if same region. It is important to allow both the donor and grafted sites enough time for healing. I would recommend that you wait approximately 6 months between sessions if you are extracting from the same or nearby donor site and transplanting to a new region. If you are transplanting the hair to the same region, then I would recommend waiting 9-12 months between sessions. You do not want to disturb the integrity of the already existing grafts.
