Does NeoGraft work for women?

Question

For the past year I have tried laser light, PRP, specialized vitamins, shampoo and conditioner - my hair is growing back but still falling out a lot. I am contemplating Neograft but I am only seeing pictures of men. Can women benefit from neograft as well?

Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, neograft can be done on both men and women. I recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself and we can create a surgical plan to best achieve your goals!

Thank you for your question and for your photos. Depending on the nature, Neograft can be for both men and women. I would advise you
to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a
detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your
expectations are.

NeoGraft is an excellent procedure for men or women.  In fact almost half of my patients are women.  One of the advantages for women is that most have longer hair and can conceal the donor site with their longer hair.  This makes the social downtime as short as a few days. I recommend you visit a doctor who performs the procedure and see if you would be a good candidate.

Neograft can be a highly effective option for women. The reason for the lack of photos is likely secondary to the popularity and prominence of the procedure in the male population (which essentially overshadows a relatively smaller female population).Women considering the procedure should undergo a thorough medical workup with an eye towards endocrine dysfunction which is often at the root of many women's issues. If found, these should be addressed prior.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration.

Great question. Yes, NeoGraft® can work for both women and men, provided you are a good candidate. To be a good candidate for this procedure, you’ll need to have adequate healthy donor hair, usually on the back of your head. Because male pattern baldness tends to be more prominent in men than in women, more men opt for this treatment. However, it can be very effective for both genders.

Thanks for posting a good question.  More often you do see information on males getting hair transplants.  However, yes women can get hair transplants as well.  It is common to loose 100-200 hairs per day and you will see different patterns of shedding throughout your lifetime.  Stress can also contribute to hair loss.  If you have any questions regarding why you are loosing hair you can see a dermatologist and get some basic blood work or hair tests to rule out any medical diagnosis.  Once that is determined you can get a hair transplant as a female.

Thank you for your question. Neograft is available for both men and women. It’s works the same in both. Balding is more common in men . The results are more visible with short hair thus the reason you see more photos of men. Long hair can hide thinning or balding hair better. IE the comb over. Best of luck with your procedure

Thank you for your question. Yes, NeoGraft can be used to treat hair loss in women. The number of grafts transplanted can be more limited in many cases because of the need to shave the donor area to harvest. Be sure to seek the advice of an experienced hair transplant center before proceeding so that your future expectations can be addressed.

NeoGraft is a procedure where hair is harvested from one area of the scalp and placed into bald areas. This high tech device does not utilize staples and sutures are not required. Many woman have undergone neo graft successfully. There are different causes for hair loss. Some patients are candidates and some are not. I would recommend you have a consultation with someone who performs NeoGraft to determine if you would be a good candidate. I hope you find this information useful. Please see the enclosed video.
