1. Is a Neograft hair transplant permanent?
Yes, a Neograft hair transplant is considered permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from the “donor area” at the back and sides of the scalp, which are genetically resistant to hair loss. Once these follicles are successfully transplanted to the balding or thinning areas, they will typically continue to grow naturally and permanently.

2. Is the Neograft hair transplant procedure painful?
The Neograft procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during the extraction and implantation phases. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness in the donor and recipient areas in the days following the procedure, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.   

3. Will I be awake during the procedure?
Yes, you will typically be awake during the Neograft procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the scalp, allowing you to remain conscious and comfortable throughout the process. You can usually listen to music, watch a movie, or simply relax during the transplant.

4. How long does the Neograft hair transplant procedure take?
The duration of a Neograft hair transplant procedure can vary depending on the number of grafts being transplanted. It can range from a few hours for smaller procedures to a full day (6-8 hours or longer) for more extensive transplants. Your surgeon at REVIVE HAIR CHICAGO will provide you with a more accurate estimate during your consultation.  

5. What is the recovery / down time for a Neograft hair transplant?
The recovery time for a Neograft hair transplant is generally relatively short compared to traditional strip harvesting methods. Most patients can return to light activities within a day or two. However, it’s typically recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for about a week to ten days to allow the grafts to heal properly. You may experience some mild swelling, redness, or scabbing in the treated areas during the first week.

6. When will I see results?
Initial hair growth can be seen within a few months after the Neograft procedure, but it’s important to be patient. The transplanted hair often sheds initially (shock loss) before new, permanent growth begins. Noticeable and significant results typically become apparent around 6-9 months, with the final results usually visible after 12-18 months.

7. How much does a hair transplant cost in Chicagoland?
The cost of a Neograft hair transplant in Chicagoland can vary significantly based on several factors, including the extent of your hair loss (number of grafts needed), the clinic you choose (like REVIVE HAIR CHICAGO), the surgeon’s experience, and any additional services included. The best way to get an accurate cost estimate for your specific situation is to schedule a consultation with a reputable hair transplant clinic in the Chicagoland area, such as REVIVE HAIR CHICAGO.

8. Does the REVIVE HAIR CHICAGO® No-Shave Neograft™ method really work?
The effectiveness of a “No-Shave Neograft™” method would depend on the specific techniques and protocols employed by REVIVE HAIR CHICAGO®. In general, Neograft is a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method that can be adapted for minimal or no-shave approaches, especially for smaller transplant areas or specific hair lengths. However, the feasibility and results can vary depending on individual hair characteristics and the extent of the transplant. It’s best to discuss the specifics and expected outcomes of REVIVE HAIR CHICAGO®’s No-Shave Neograft™ method directly with them.

9. What is the best age for a hair transplant?
There isn’t a single “best” age for a Neograft hair transplant, as it depends on the individual’s hair loss progression and personal circumstances. Generally, it’s often recommended that hair loss patterns have stabilized to some extent before undergoing a transplant. While younger individuals can be candidates, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of their long-term hair loss expectations. Many patients opt for a transplant in their late 20s to 50s. A consultation with a qualified surgeon at REVIVE HAIR CHICAGO is essential to determine the most appropriate timing for you.

10. What hair loss treatments does REVIVE HAIR CHICAGO offer?

11. What is the Norwood Scale to diagnosis my hair loss?
The Norwood Scale (also known as the Hamilton-Norwood Scale) is a widely used classification system to measure the extent of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). It ranges from Stage 1 (minimal hair loss) to Stage 7 (severe hair loss). While the Norwood Scale provides a general framework, a proper diagnosis of your hair loss should be made by a qualified medical professional or hair restoration specialist at REVIVE HAIR CHICAGO. They can assess your specific pattern and recommend the most appropriate treatment options.
