Hair loss can feel like you’re losing a part of yourself. Whether it’s a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or patchy areas you’ve tried to conceal, the emotional impact is real. At Dr. Couvillion’s Houston practice, NeoGraft® hair restoration offers a minimally invasive, no-scalpel solution designed to restore not just your hair, but your confidence.
With this advanced follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique, you can achieve fuller, natural-looking results without a visible linear scar.
What Is NeoGraft® Hair Restoration?
NeoGraft® is an automated FUE hair restoration system that harvests and transplants individual hair follicles without the need for a scalpel or stitches. This revolutionary technique minimizes discomfort, reduces downtime, and leaves no linear scar, making it an ideal solution for both men and women experiencing hair loss.
Unlike older methods, NeoGraft® ensures greater precision, less trauma to the scalp, and a more natural-looking outcome. The transplanted follicles continue to grow hair permanently in the new area, blending seamlessly with your existing hair.
NeoGraft® vs. Traditional Hair Transplants
Here’s how NeoGraft® stands apart from traditional hair transplants:
- No Scalpel, No Stitches: Traditional methods require surgical incisions; NeoGraft® does not.
- No Linear Scar: FUE technology eliminates the telltale horizontal scar.
- Faster Recovery: Minimal downtime compared to strip harvesting techniques.
- More Natural Results: Grafts are individually harvested and placed to mimic natural hair growth.
- Ideal for Short Hairstyles: Without a visible scar, patients can wear hair short with confidence.

The NeoGraft® Procedure: What to Expect
Consultation and Hair Loss Evaluation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Couvillion will evaluate your scalp, discuss your hair restoration goals, and determine if NeoGraft® is the best fit for your needs. He’ll also outline a personalized treatment plan, including graft estimates and expected results. Dr. Couvillion will also begin you on a medication regimen to improve your results.
Procedure Day
The procedure is performed in-office under local anesthesia. Using the NeoGraft® device, individual hair follicles are gently extracted from the donor area and precisely implanted into the thinning or balding zones. The process typically takes several hours, depending on the number of grafts.
Recovery & Aftercare
You can expect minor swelling or redness that resolves within a few days. Most patients resume normal activities within 2–3 days. Newly implanted hairs will shed initially—this is normal. New growth begins in 3–4 months and continues to thicken over 12–18 months.

FAQs About NeoGraft® for Hair Loss
Is the Procedure Painful?
Discomfort is minimal. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable during the procedure, and most patients report little to no pain afterward. Any pain that patients do have is easily controlled with over the counter medication.
How Long Does it Take to See Results after NeoGraft® Hair Restoration?
Initial hair shedding occurs in the first few weeks. Visible new growth typically begins around 3–4 months, with full results visible in 12–18 months.
Are the Results Permanent?
For most patients, yes. Hair loss, especially male and female pattern type, is a chronic condition which will need medications for as long as you want to keep your hair. With the right medication regimen, the transplanted hair is usually permanent.
