Candidates for hair restoration surgery are in good health with moderate hair loss and sufficient donor hair on the back of the scalp to transplant into the balding areas. The condition of your donor hair impacts the effectiveness of your procedure. We will discuss your expected results during your consultation with one of our providers.

Restore your confidence with natural hair growth from your own transplanted hair follicles.
Our experts at Copper Aesthetics provide stunning results using NeoGraft hair transplants in Traverse City. NeoGraft is an advanced, minimally invasive hair transplant technology that uses your own individual hair follicles to fill in areas where the hair no longer grows with very little downtime.
How the Treatment Works
NeoGraft is a new automated hair transplant system that facilitates the harvesting of follicles during a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant, dramatically improving the accuracy and speed compared to manual extraction instruments. NeoGraft® uses controlled pneumatic pressure to slide out the graft smoothly, so there is no pulling or twisting that can risk damaging the graft. Your grafts can be re-implanted sooner, keeping them more robust and resulting in a natural-looking hairline.

NeoGraft® Hair Restoration FAQs
Once the normal hair follicle has been implanted into the balding area, the grafted hair will stay in place for about 2 to 3 weeks before shedding—this is normal and an important part of the new growth process. After shedding, the new growth will begin in 3 to 4 months, and your hair will continue to grow normally.
While hair transplants are permanent, hair loss does not stop after transplantation. Some patients may need continued treatment if their balding continues with age.
“F.U.E.” or “Follicular-Unit Extraction” is an advanced, minimally invasive hair transplant method that allows for the harvesting of individual follicles from the donor area without a scalpel incision or the necessary stitches, and therefore leaves no linear scar. The device acts as a natural extension of the surgeon’s hand.
Yes, NeoGraft is suitable for men and women experiencing hair loss.
No. It’s not required to cut your hair prior to your transplant. If your hair is long, harvesting using the FUE/NeoGraft can be done by shaving small areas which can be covered by your other, existing hair.
