Is NeoGraft painful? Can you set an expectation on the level that might be experienced on a scale of 1-10?

The NeoGraft Follicular Unit Extraction is the least invasive procedure for hair transplantation, designed to limit the patient's discomfort. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia to numb the area and no intravenous or intra-muscular sedation is required. I suggest you consult a board certified hair specialist physician to ensure that you receive the highest-quality knowledge, skill, care and treatment available. Typically, the more skilled and experienced your physician, the better result you can expect. Best wishes,

Neograft is a machine that assists physicians in performing FUE (follicular unit extraction) procedures.  FUE procedures stand in contrast to "strip" procedures where a portion of scalp is surgically removed from the occiput (back) of the head and where a linear scar results.As such, FUE/Neograft procedures are not particularly painful postoperatively in comparison.  After performing many hundreds of these procedures, patients generally report a "sunburn" type feeling for a few days that can be managed with over-the-counter medication such as Tylenol.  Obviously, the patient is anesthetized prior to the start of the procedure to a point of total anesthesia/numbness.Best of luck!!

Neograft is just a tool that a doctor use to perform Follicular Unit Extraction.  Using a Neograft does not mean the pain will be any better or worse.  FUE surgery in general is carried out under local anesthesia so it should be painless during the surgery.
