Question:
Does Dr. Epstein use the Neograft machine?
Answer:
The Neograft machine is nothing other than a mechanized way to harvest FUE grafts. It has been heavily marketed by the manufacturer, but to date has not been embraced by very many of the top hair docs- in fact, I don’t know of a single one of my top 20 colleagues that use it.
The FUE procedure is one that I perform on average 4 times a week, and overall I am happy with the results it can produce- however, I don’t recommend it for women, as it has a lower percentage of growth, whether done by the Neograft or another technique. Personally, I and my specially trained team of FUE assistants are able to harvest the grafts with the least trauma and therefore can achieve the highest possible rate of regrowth.
