Does NeoGraft work for women?

Dear huiss2c,
Thank you for posting this question. The Neograft device is a surgical instrument, not an automated car wash where you just stick you head in to the chair pillow and *presto* the Neograft does its thing and you're all set. The truth is that the success rate of Neograft FUE on women is directly correlated with the training, experience, passion, and track record of success of the surgeon and his team that is using the device. With some doctors with little-to-no experience the success rate can often be low. When used by a board certified hair restoration surgeon who's practice is dedicated 100% to hair restoration surgery, the success rate will be very high.  
Perhaps more importantly, don't forget that the singular advantage to any FUE procedure is the management of the scarring in the donor area. This technique was developed to assist men in having hair transplant procedures while maintaining the ability to enjoy very short hair styles. Women don't typically wear such short hairstyles, and as such, the logic for performing FUE on a female patient who is planning on wearing longer hair breaks down. The "Gold Standard" in hair restoration today remains the linear strip FUT procedure, not the Neograft or any other FUE. However, for financial reasons, many doctors are only offering the FUE procedure. I would avoid any physician who doesn't offer both FUE and FUT surgery, as both have utility in 2019, and in my opinion FUT is far more appropriate for a female patient than an FUE procedure. 
Any device that performs FUE, including the Neograft device, is just a tool, like a paintbrush. You already know that no paintbrush of any brand can guarantee a beautiful painting, and the same is true with the NeoGraft device. Every case is different. It is the training, experience, talent, and track record of success of an individual surgeon and his team that will determine your result, not the tool used to complete the job. Look at the background and scope of practice of the doctor offering the device to get a better idea of success rates. Is the doctor Board Certified in Hair Restoration Surgery? If a local plastic surgeon who specializes in Brazilian butt-lifts suddenly acquires a Neograft and is now offering hair restoration using any device, in addition to all the other services offered, including Neograft, that to me would be a huge red flag. Hair restoration is it's own specialty, we have a board exam and a board certificate and a large number of providers who do this all the time. To me that seems like the best place to start looking. I hope this information is helpful to you.
