Hair loss can take a toll on your confidence, but you don’t have to settle for thinning hair or a visible scalp. NeoGraft helps men and women regrow thicker, natural-looking hair with a minimally invasive approach that avoids scalpels and stitches. At Koch & Carlisle Plastic Surgery & Spa, we offer NeoGraft to patients from the Des Moines area, Ames, Ankeny, Davenport, and surrounding areas who want a safe, effective solution that fits their lifestyle.

What Is NeoGraft?

NeoGraft is an advanced, minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that uses follicular unit extraction (FUE) to gently harvest individual hair follicles from the back of the scalp and transplant them to thinning or balding areas—no scalpels, stitches, or long incisions required. 

This automated system improves precision, reduces the risk of human error, and shortens recovery time while producing results that look and feel entirely natural.

How Does NeoGraft Work?

NeoGraft uses pneumatic (vacuum-assisted) technology to streamline and improve the FUE process. Here’s how it works:

  • Hair follicles are gently extracted from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp). 
  • Each follicle is carefully preserved and prepared for transplantation. 
  • The follicles are then implanted in areas with thinning or no hair. 

Because the follicles are your own, they take root naturally and grow like the rest of your hair. Most people see noticeable improvement in both density and coverage over time. 

Meet Our Providers

At Koch & Carlisle, we have assembled a team of three highly skilled, board-certified plastic surgeons—two for the face and one for the breast and body. The result: exceptional plastic surgery results from head to toe for the West Des Moines, IA, area.

Benefits of NeoGraft

NeoGraft is ideal for anyone seeking a discreet, effective, and low-maintenance approach to hair restoration. Benefits include: 

  • No linear scar: Wear short hair with confidence 
  • Minimally invasive: No stitches or scalpels 
  • Quick recovery: Many people return to work within a day or two  
  • Natural-looking results: Transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing strands 
  • Customizable: Suitable for a range of hair textures and treatment areas 

If you want results without the downtime or scarring associated with traditional hair transplant surgery, NeoGraft may be the right option for you.

What To Expect During Recovery

NeoGraft is performed in-office using local anesthesia, so you’ll be awake and comfortable throughout the procedure. Afterward, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or scabbing around the treatment area, but most of this subsides in 7 to 10 days. 

You can typically resume your regular daily activities within 1 to 2 days, though you should avoid strenuous exercise for several days. 

NeoGraft Results

It’s normal for transplanted hairs to shed within the first few weeks after the procedure. This temporary shedding is part of the hair’s natural growth cycle. Transplanted hair usually begins to grow after 3 to 4 months, with full results visible around 9 to 12 months post-treatment.

Is NeoGraft Permanent?

NeoGraft results are long-lasting, and many patients enjoy permanent hair growth in the treated areas. Because transplanted follicles are typically resistant to hair loss, they continue to grow naturally for years to come. While NeoGraft does not stop future hair loss in untreated areas, some patients choose to return for touch-up sessions. We can help create a customized maintenance plan based on your goals and hair health. 

Are You a Good Candidate for NeoGraft?

NeoGraft may be an excellent fit for you if:

  • You are in good overall health. 
  • You have realistic expectations about your results. 
  • You have areas of hair loss and adequate healthy hair in the donor region. 
  • You prefer a minimally invasive option with less downtime. 

During your consultation, we’ll assess your goals and scalp health to determine if NeoGraft is the right match for your hair restoration journey.
