NeoGraft® Hair Restoration in Portland, Maine
Ageless Hair Restoration of New England offers state-of-the-art NeoGraft® hair restoration, a minimally invasive solution for hair loss that delivers natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Our clinic specializes in advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technology, ensuring precision and complete patient satisfaction. Whether you’re addressing thinning hair, receding hairlines, or balding areas, NeoGraft® provides a scar-free, effective path to renewed confidence.
What Is NeoGraft® Hair Restoration?
NeoGraft® is an FDA-cleared automated FUE system that revolutionizes hair transplantation by eliminating the need for invasive surgical methods. Unlike older techniques, NeoGraft® uses pneumatic pressure to gently extract individual hair follicles from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) and implant them into thinning or balding regions. This technology minimizes trauma to the scalp, preserves graft viability, and ensures consistent results with no linear scarring.
Think of NeoGraft® as a smart tool that helps your doctor move healthy hair from the back of your head (where it grows thickly) to areas where you're experiencing thinning or balding. Instead of cutting out a strip of scalp like older methods, NeoGraft® uses gentle air pressure—similar to a tiny vacuum—to carefully pick up individual hair follicles and replant them where you need them most. It's like transplanting tiny plants one by one, ensuring each one has the best chance to grow naturally in its new spot. The result? Your own hair, growing in the places you want it, without any obvious signs you've had work done.
NeoGraft combines both automated technology and manual expertise. The system uses automated features to assist the doctor. This combination of automation and human expertise helps make the procedure faster and more consistent than fully manual methods while still maintaining the artistic vision needed for natural-looking results15. The automation helps harvest up to 400-600 grafts per hour while maintaining high quality and consistency.
How the NeoGraft® System Works
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) involves harvesting individual hair follicles directly from the donor site without sutures or staples. NeoGraft® automates this process, enhancing precision and reducing procedure time compared to manual FUE. Each follicle is carefully transplanted to mimic natural hair growth patterns, creating undetectable results.

Comparing NeoGraft to Other Hair Restoration Methods
Traditional strip harvesting leaves a linear scar and requires stitches, whereas NeoGraft®’s scarless FUE method allows shorter hairstyles and faster healing.
Traditional Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) requires removing a strip of scalp, leaving a linear scar and requiring weeks of recovery. In contrast, NeoGraft’s FUE method extracts follicles individually, avoiding stitches and reducing downtime to 5–7 days. Robotic precision also minimizes graft damage, ensuring higher survival rates compared to manual FUE.
NeoGraft vs ARTAS® Robotic Hair Restoration
While ARTAS® uses robotic 3D imaging for follicle selection, NeoGraft® offers comparable precision at a lower cost. Both methods avoid linear scars, but NeoGraft®’s handheld device provides greater surgeon control during extraction.
How Much Do NeoGraft Treatments Cost?
NeoGraft® typically costs $7,995–$15,000 per session, depending on graft count (how much hair you need transplanted).
Financing Options
We accept cash and credit card for payment, and offer flexible payment plans and medical financing (e.g., Cherry) are available to fit your budget.
Insurance Information
As a cosmetic procedure, NeoGraft® is typically not covered by insurance.
The NeoGraft Procedure Process
Your NeoGraft Treatment Journey
Before Your Procedure
During a free consultation, our team evaluates donor hair density, discusses goals, and creates a personalized plan. Patients may trim their hair to 2–3 mm in donor areas but can avoid a full buzz cut if preferred.
During the Procedure
Under local anesthesia, the NeoGraft device harvests and implants follicles in 4–8 hours, depending on graft count (typically 500–2,500 per session). The automated system ensures consistent graft quality, while our surgeons artfully design hairlines for seamless integration.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients experience mild redness or swelling, resolving within 48 hours. Avoid strenuous activity for 5 days and direct sun exposure for 2 weeks. Transplanted hairs shed within 3 weeks, with new growth emerging at 3–4 months.

Day 1–3: Minor redness/swelling; avoid strenuous activity.
-
Week 1–2: Scabs resolve; gentle shampooing permitted.
-
Month 3–4: New hair growth begins.
Post-Treatment Care Timeline

Timeline for Hair Growth
-
3–4 Months: Fine hairs emerge.
-
6–9 Months: Noticeable density improvement.
-

Long-Term Outcomes
Transplanted hairs grow naturally for life, though native hair may continue thinning without maintenance (e.g., medications).
Maintenance Requirements
Annual check-ups and optional touch-up sessions to fill in gaps from new (non-transplanted) hair loss ensure lasting fullness.
