Neograft™ Hair Transplants

Whether you have thinning hair, a bald spot, or a receding hairline, Dr. Kulbersh employs a range of hair restoration techniques that offer patients natural-looking results. He has learned from some of the best surgeons and centers in the country, and our team has extensively worked to design a center that will create both great results for hair growth and an exceptional experience for our patients.

Types of Transplants We Offer

The treatment options for hair loss at Carolina Facial Plastics will focus both on maintaining and restoring the hair. We offer Neograft as a surgical technique for hair restoration. This is a type of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) – the latest advancement in hair restoration surgery that involves obtaining each follicular unit directly from the scalp and implanting them into a thinning area, such as the hairline or crown, making the hair look thicker.

We also offer non-surgical treatment options that can be used as stand-alone treatments or in conjunction with a surgical procedure. Rogaine®/Minoxidil (topical or oral medication) and Propecia®/Finasteride (a medical pill) slow down the rate of hair loss while encouraging new growth. A device for low-level light therapy and supplements may also be part of the treatment plan. We also offer exosomes and microneedling treatments, PRF, daily supplements and shampoos/conditioners.

Hair Transplants for Men and Women

Both men and women with thinning hair and well-defined baldness can benefit from a hair transplant. Since their hair loss patterns differ, the approach to their hair transplants will also be different.  Hair transplants are designed to give a naturally appearing hairline that will be indistinguishable from the native hair.  The design and approach of the procedure will also account for the age, anticipated rate of future hair loss, and goals of the patients.  The best approach will be determined during a consultation with Dr. Kulbersh or Kathleen Summers.

When Should A Patient Consider a Hair Transplant

During your consultation, Dr. Kulbersh will examine your scalp and ask what your hair goals are. If you have areas that you have lost hair, then you would need to consider a hair transplant. A hair transplant is ideal for a patient whose hair loss is stable. If the patient is young or is continuing to lose hair, then a hair transplant could be an option.  In this circumstance, the patient and Dr. Kulbersh must both have the expectation that the patient may need another hair transplant in the future and the transplant plan will be tailored with this in mind.

Your Hair Transplant Experience at Carolina Facial Plastics

Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Kulbersh will examine your scalp and ask what hair restoration treatments (if any) you’ve tried in the past, and the degrees of success you’ve achieved. After examining your scalp and finding out the history and full extent of your hair loss, he will explain the various treatment options, determine how many hair grafts are needed, and recommend the best treatment plan that will give you the most natural-looking results. Some treatment plans may include medical hair growth treatments for 6 months to a year before considering hair transplantation. He may also show you hair transplant before and after photos so that you’ll know what results to expect.

Your Procedure

We strive to foster a comfortable experience during your treatment. You may read a book, listen to music, or bring an audiobook to relax. We also have a TV in the OR that you can watch throughout the procedure. When we break for lunch, we can place an order for you so you don’t have to worry about bringing food. You’re free to get up and stretch your legs, take breaks, and use the restroom.

Step 1: Numbing/Local Anesthesia

Neograft procedures use local anesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort during surgery. You will either lie facing down or on your side during surgery.

Step 2: FUE Technique

For the FUE technique, Dr. Kulbersh and his team will harvest hair using small circular incisions that remove individual follicular units one at a time.

Step 3: Transplant

Depending on the number of hair grafts that need to be transplanted and the size of the treatment area, hair transplant surgery can take between 4-8 hours and may require 1-2 sessions.

Step 4: Recovery

A few simple tips to ensure a smooth recovery:

• Avoid touching the transplanted area
• Do not drive
• Feel free to eat what you want (no dietary restrictions)
• Prepare for some oozing from the donor area on the back of head
• Start spraying grafted areas with saline solution
• Sleep with your head elevated position for the first 3 nights following the procedure
