What are the differences and advantages/disadvantages of both?
Answer: Neograft vs. FUE Neograft is a tool used to perform FUE procedures. It creates the punch and then there is a vacuum assist which sucks the graft out into a holding chamber.The disadvantage is the following:Doctor's who do not specialize in Hair Restoration surgery purchasing a Neograft and having unlicensed technicians (Called NeoGrafters) performing the entire surgery. This is a very common practice in Neograft clinics and something to watch out for.Also, most Neograft cases I see come into my clinic, it seems that the largest punch is used (1.2mm) to make the surgery easier leaving scarring in the back of the patients scalp. In comparison, I do most of my FUE cases with a 0.7mm punch which minimizes any scarring and leaves me with small grafts which can be placed closer to each other giving a much more natural look and density.My personal opinion also is that the Neograft puts additional stress on the follicles during the vacuum phase and while sitting in the graft chamber vs extraction manually with forceps. I personally prefer to extract the grafts manually and place them immediately in hypothermosol solution chilled at 4 degrees Celsius.

Answer: Neograft vs FUE Hello,The answer is Neograft is probably not better than handheld FUE and potentially worse. Handheld FUE is where you manually extract the hair while in Neograft it is vacuumed up a tubing. Best,

Answer: Advantage of FUE is that is done without an incision, leaving no visible linear scar. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a specific procedure in which individual follicles of hair are removed from a donor site and then transplanted in the areas of thinning hair. NeoGraft is a specific instrument that physicians use to carry out FUE procedures. The real advantage of utilizing a FUE procedure is that the hair follicles are extracted and transplanted without an incision, leaving no visible linear scar.

Answer: Follicular Unit Extraction Follicular Unit Extraction is a great NeoGraft technique. In fact, we have found it is the most effective hair transplant system as it provides naturally growing hair follicles to scalp areas that previously held non-growing and unhealthy follicles. FUE allows for the harvesting of individual follicles from the donor area without a scalpel incision or the necessary stitches and therefore leaves no linear scar.Best wishes,

Answer: Depends on if you're talking about the PATIENT or the DOCTOR's advantage. Neograft is a FUE instrument so you can't talk about the advantage or disadvantage.Doctors who perform the FUE procedure pick and choose the instrument of their choice (Neograft is just one of them). THE RESULTS depend on the doctor, not the tool (not Neograft, not ARTAS, not SAFE, not FUE)

Answer: Neograft is FUE Neograft is essentially a tool to perform FUE. Precise graft harvesting is readily performed with the hand piece. With consistent depth of penetration and drill speed, great grafts are obtained.
