Hair Transplantation

Hair Transplantation in Newport Beach, Orange County

To many people, a full head of hair represents attractiveness and desirability both personally and professionally.

For this reason, it is vital to understand what effects a hair restoration procedure can have on your daily interactions with people and in all other aspects of your life. Hair Restoration should be unnoticeable to all but those you tell.

The facts are that approximately 50 million men and approximately 30 million women suffer from male/female pattern baldness or thinning hair. Many potential patients shy-away from (or are not candidates for) the traditional “strip method” of hair replacement because of the slow recovery time, the loss of feeling at the incision site, the tiny linear scar on the back of the head, or the amount of post-operative pain involved.

After much research, we have chosen to offer the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method utilizing the NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplantation system. The FUE method of hair transplantation removes individual hair follicles from the scalp in their naturally occurring groupings of about 1-4 hairs and are then placed in the areas of the scalp where balding has occurred.

Understanding Hair Loss & The Need for Transplantation

Hair loss can occur due to genetics, hormonal changes, stress, aging, or medical conditions. Many individuals seek hair restoration to regain their confidence and maintain a youthful appearance. The NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplantation system provides an advanced solution for those looking to restore their hairline with natural and lasting results.

How Does the NeoGraft FUE Method Work?

NeoGraft’s Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, and implanting them into thinning or balding areas. This precise technique ensures a seamless and natural-looking outcome. Since there are no sutures or large scars, the recovery time is significantly shorter compared to traditional methods.

Reasons Why The NeoGraft Procedure Is The Solution:

  • It is the least invasive procedure for hair transplantation
  • Patients who receive the NeoGraft procedure feel little to no discomfort
  • No stitches or staples are used in the NeoGraft procedure
  • No unsightly linear scar
  • Flexibility for any hair style of your choice, short or long
  • Shorter recovery time – patients can typically go back to work the next day
  • Fewer restrictions on your normal daily activities
  • Natural looking results

Benefits of the FUE Method:

The NeoGraft Automated FUE is also a useful procedure to fix visible linear scars from previous “strip” surgeries.  FUE can be used to ‘fill in’ or camouflage those old scars by transplanting new follicles into the area.

  • FUE hair transplant is a very safe, minimally invasive, relatively minor procedure
  • Minimal bleeding and fewer complications than with the “strip” method
  • Procedure is performed with local anesthetic and no intravenous or intra-muscular sedation is required
  • Patients experience minimal discomfort, no scalpel incision, no sutures, no linear scar and quick recovery times
  • And Many More!

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • Consultation: During your initial consultation, Hisham Seify will assess your hair loss and discuss your goals to determine if NeoGraft is the right solution for you.
  • Procedure: On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort. Hair follicles are extracted and implanted using the automated NeoGraft system.
  • Recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours with minimal discomfort.
  • Results: Over time, new hair growth begins, providing fuller, natural-looking results.

Post-Procedure Care

After the procedure, proper aftercare is crucial for achieving the best results. Patients are typically provided with specific instructions that may include:

 

  • Avoiding direct sunlight on the scalp for a few weeks
  • Keeping the scalp clean and dry
  • Using prescribed topical solutions to promote healing and hair growth
  • Attending follow-up appointments to monitor progress

 

Following these guidelines closely can significantly improve the success of the transplant and the overall satisfaction with the results.

Emotional and Psychological Benefits of Hair Restoration

The benefits of hair restoration go beyond physical appearance. Many patients report significant boosts in self-esteem and confidence following their procedure. Hair plays a crucial role in personal identity, and restoring a natural hairline can help individuals feel more like themselves again. The psychological impact of hair loss can be profound, leading to social anxiety or decreased quality of life. Therefore, the decision to pursue hair restoration is not only about investing in your appearance but also enhancing your overall well-being.

Lifestyle Considerations After Hair Transplantation

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also positively influence the results of a hair transplant. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports hair health. Patients should consider incorporating foods that are high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants into their diet. Other essential components of maintaining healthy hair growth are to stay hydrated and manage your stress levels.

Additional Considerations for Candidates

When considering the NeoGraft procedure, potential candidates should consider their overall health and any underlying conditions that may affect healing. Conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or autoimmune disorders should be discussed with your clinician during your initial consultation. Additionally, patients who smoke are encouraged to quit before the procedure to enhance recovery outcomes as smoking can impede blood flow and healing, impacting your results.

The Importance of Choosing a Qualified Surgeon

Choosing the right surgeon is perhaps one of the most critical aspects of your hair transplant journey. Prospective patients should always verify the credentials and experience of their surgeon before proceeding with any medical procedure.
