The Gold Standard in Minimally Invasive Hair Restoration

Hair loss affects millions of men and women across the country, and while it may not pose a medical concern, its emotional impact can be significant. At Cheng Plastic Surgery, we offer NeoGraft® Hair Restoration in San Mateo and Redwood City, an advanced follicular unit extraction (FUE) system that delivers full, natural-looking hair regrowth with no linear scarring, minimal downtime, and exceptional results.

Voted Best Plastic Surgeons in the Bay Area by readers of the Mercury News in 2025, our double board-certified facial plastic surgeons bring exceptional precision and artistry to every procedure, helping you look and feel like the best version of yourself.

What Is NeoGraft?

NeoGraft is a scarless, minimally invasive hair transplant system that uses advanced automated FUE technology to harvest and re-implant healthy hair follicles. Instead of removing a strip of scalp, this technique gently extracts individual follicles from the donor area—typically the back of the head—and transplants them into thinning or balding areas with precision. The result is natural-looking growth with minimal discomfort and a faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

Unlike manual techniques, NeoGraft uses pneumatic pressure to streamline the process, reduce trauma to the follicles, and ensure consistent, natural placement, making it ideal for both men and women with pattern hair loss.

Benefits of NeoGraft Hair Restoration

NeoGraft is the gold standard in hair transplantation and one of the most trusted FUE devices available today, offering significant advantages over traditional methods:

No scalpel, stitches, or staples required
No linear scarring, allowing you to wear your hair short or long
Quick recovery, with many returning to normal activity within 24–48 hours

Permanent hair growth that blends seamlessly with your existing hair
Ideal for both men and women

At Cheng Plastic Surgery, we personalize every NeoGraft treatment plan to fit your goals, hair type, and pattern of hair loss.

Is NeoGraft Right for Me?

You may be a candidate for NeoGraft if you:

Have mild to moderate hair thinning or pattern baldness
Prefer a minimally invasive procedure with no visible scars
Want to avoid the downtime and discomfort of strip harvesting
Are in good general health with a stable donor area
Are seeking a permanent and natural-looking solution to hair loss

If you're not ready for hair transplant surgery or want to enhance results, we may recommend Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as a complementary or standalone treatment. PRP uses your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles and encourage regrowth.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

NeoGraft hair restoration is performed at our private clinic using local anesthesia for optimal comfort.

Extraction

Using the NeoGraft handheld device, individual follicles are gently extracted from the donor area using pneumatic pressure—no cutting or sutures involved.

Implantation

Harvested follicles are then carefully placed into the thinning or bald areas of the scalp at precise angles to match your natural hair pattern.

Relaxed Experience:

You’ll be comfortably positioned during both phases of the treatment. Many patients listen to music or rest during the procedure, which typically lasts several hours.

Recovery & Results

NeoGraft’s minimally invasive approach means little to no downtime. Most patients return to work or daily activities within 1 to 2 days, although you may experience:

Mild swelling or redness
Temporary drainage or crusting at graft sites
Shedding of transplanted hairs in the first 2–4 weeks (a normal part of the growth cycle)

When will you see new hair?

3 months: Early new growth begins to appear
6–9 months: Noticeable thickening and length
12+ months: Full results with permanent, natural-looking regrowth
