Hair transplants, the new growth industry

Exploring the popular new technique for hair transplantation

Hair transplants are a popular cosmetic dermatology procedure. Figures show that Europe had the largest growth in the number of surgical hair restoration procedures in 2019, with 106,949 transplants, representing a 35% increase on those carried out in 2016. A popular new technique for hair transplantation is NeoGraft ® – a hair transplant technology that is minimally invasive and designed to help patients improve their hairline without the strip scar, discomfort and lengthy recovery of a traditional hair transplant.

What is NeoGraft ® ? NeoGraft®’s revolutionary automated FUE and implantation technology leaves no linear scar and is minimally invasive with fast patient recovery. It eliminates the inefficiencies of common manual tools and procedures, while enabling physicians to offer hair transplants with consistent clinical outcomes. Other options for hair transplant include the entirely robotic ARTAS iX™ system. NeoGraft ® uses a punch and pressure method to suction and extract each hair follicle gently from the scalp without disturbing the surrounding tissue, nerves and blood vessels. This automated method better preserves the hair follicles to ensure more of them successfully survive in the transplanted area. With controlled placement of each follicle, the operator would be able to create a natural looking appearance to the hairline.

FUT vs. FUE There are two tried and true methods for performing hair restoration surgery, the strip excision/follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction/excision (FUE). The difference between these two procedures is how the donor hair is harvested from the back of the head. In strip excision, a strip of hair is removed from the back of the

scalp and the surrounding skin is brought back together by stitches. In FUE, a small circular punch is used to cut around each individual follicular unit. The skin incision dissects the tissue around the hair shaft and root allowing the whole graft to be removed. This process is repeated until the surgeon has achieved the desired number of grafts needed for the procedure.

NeoGraft® delivers superior clinical efficacy and high patient satisfaction, as evidenced by an average ‘Worth It’ rating of 95% on RealSelf.com.

Dr Jack Fisher, a board certified plastic surgeon, explains, “NeoGraft ® completely changes the dynamics of introducing hair restoration into your aesthetic practice by providing new advanced technology with the systems and support necessary to create a successful outcome for both the doctor and

in one step. The NeoGraft®’s harvesting, site-making and implantation functions makes it easier than ever for physicians to address hair loss and provide the hair restoration procedures that patients want. The inefficiencies of manual extractions and implants have been eliminated, and replaced it with advanced technology that provides patients with the benefits of the FUE procedure while also enabling physicians to perform fast, effective, safe hair transplants that yield superior clinical results.

OPTIMISED WORKFLOW • Double-jointed arm and enhanced ergonomics ensure faster and more comfortable procedures for both patients and physicians • New contra angle eliminates loss of fluid and protects grafts through vacuum seal • Recipient site creation handpiece delivers more standardised implants • No-touch implanter offers the least amount of bulb trauma • Autoclavable handpieces offer sterilisable and costeffective tools

PNEUMATIC MOTOR AND SMART DRIVE TORQUE TECHNOLOGY • Piston-driven motor delivers precise pressure control for both extraction and implantation • Smart Drive Torque Technology delivers 100% torque to the contra angle/punch, for continuous rotation and the smoothest entry • Consistent suction and spin lead to standardised extractions, high quality grafts, and superior patient outcomes

INTUITIVE TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE WITH GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE • Automatic, real-time extraction and implantation of graft counts eliminates manual counting and paperwork • Graphic user interface (GUI) delivers user friendly, intuitive, interactive experience • Treatment screens allow users to easily switch between two modes – extraction and implantation • User management tools help track and improve performance of treatment providers

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY WITH IOT TECHNOLOGY AND DEVICE MOBILITY • Advanced internet of things (IoT) technology capabilities enhance business operations by optimising treatment protocols, improving patient results and satisfaction, and maximising operational efficiency and return on investment • Quiet operation and energy-efficient usage
