Neo Graft

Neo Graft

• The first step in achieving a full set of hair
  is to setup a consultation with a certified
  facial plastic surgeon. When Dr.Torgerson
  conducts a consult, he first sits down with the
  patient at his Toronto clinic and goes through
  the patients health history. After which he
  explains to the patient, the different options
  that are available. If the patient decides to
  proceed with NeoGraft, Dr.Torgerson explains any
  health risks and complications that might arise.

Hair growth

• The protein that produces hair follicles is
  called keratin, which is located in the outer
  layer of the skin. It is these follicles that
  produce new hair cells. As new hair cells are
  made, the old hair follicles get pushed out
  through the top of the skin (about 6 inches a
  year). The hair that is visible is actually
  strings of dead keratin cells. The hair has a
  unique growth cycle that occurs in three phases
  which areanagen, catagen and telogen. All of
  these three phases happen simultaneously and each
  has their own characteristics, which determine
  the length, texture and life of the hair. Also
  the body contains of two types of hair vellus
  hair and terminal hair. Both vellus and terminal
  hair have their own characteristics and its own
  cellular construction. A person typically has
  about 100,000 to 150,00 hairs and can loose up to
  a 100 a day.

• Anagen - The anagen phase is one of the most
  active phase in hair growth. During this phase,
  the cell in the roots hair divides itself
  rapidly. When the hair is in this phase, it will
  grow 1cm every 28 days. During this phase the
  hair in the scalp grows for a period of 2 to 6
  years.
• Catagen - The catagen phase last for about 2-3
  weeks, and is a transitional stage. When a hair
  is at this stage, the hair stops growing and the
  root of the hair sheds and shrinks. 3 of all
  hairs are at this stage.
• Telogen- During these periods 10 to 15 of all
  the hair are at the resting phase, which lasts
  for 100 days. At this stage, the hair is rested.
  Normally a person can shed 25-100 telogen hairs a
  day.

NeoGraft The Procedure
NeoGraft Getting Started

• The first step in achieving a full set of hair
  is to setup a consultation with a certified
  facial plastic surgeon. When Dr.Torgerson
  conducts a consult, he first sits down with the
  patient at his Toronto clinic and goes through
  the patients health history. After which he
  explains to the patient, the different options
  that are available. If the patient decides to
  proceed with NeoGraft, Dr.Torgerson explains any
  health risks and complications that might arise.
• Once this is done, Dr.Torgerson will create,
  with the patient, a hairline that is suitable for
  his or her hair goals.

Dr.Torgerson will begin a NeoGraft hair
transplant procedure by first disinfecting the
scalp and then administering a local anaesthesia
into the scalp. This allows the patient to feel
no pain and to undergo the procedure in
comfortable manner. Once the anaesthesia is
administered, Dr.Torgerson uses the NeoGraft to
make small incisions in the back of the head.
This is known as the harvesting stage.

NeoGraft After the Procedure

• After the hair is transplanted, a person scalp
  will feel very tender, and pain medications are
  given for comfort. A person should see results
  from the hair transplant within 1 to 3months.
  During this time, the transplanted hair falls
  out. After approximately 3 months, an individual
  will notice new hair growth 60 of the new hair
  should grow back in 6 to 9 months. Most plastic
  surgeons will prescribe Minoxidil and NeoLights
  after the transplant to help with the hair
  growth. There is only 1 day of downtime
  associated with a hair transplant.

Like all surgical procedures, there are risks
associated with this such as infections,bleeding,
scarring, and unnatural-looking new hair growth.
When the new hair grows, some individuals may
experience folliculitis (a infection in the hair
follicles). Folliculitis can be easily treated
with antibiotics. The other risk is called shock
loss, is a sudden loss of the transplanted hair,
which in most cases is not permanent.
