• NeoGraft Warning – A Closer Look

  In Hair Transplant / By The Bald Truth / 21 June 2010

  Last week, after Alan J. Bauman, M.D. issued a public warning alerting consumers to the fact that unqualified surgeons may soon begin offering “NeoGraft FUE” procedures to unsuspecting patients, Spencer Kobren took some time to speak with the IAHRS accepted member about the many concerns surrounding this controversial hair transplant machine.

  During the interview it was clearly stated that there needs to be a more honest approach to the marketing of this device, and that there is a serious potential to cause harm if this machine is irresponsibly sold to entry-level hair transplant practitioners.

  Unfortunately, according to a recent statement made by David Walden, a Founder and Managing Director at Omni Medical (the company that now helps to market the NeoGraft), this appears, in our view, to be exactly how they plan to introduce the device to market. Read more ›

   

• NeoGraft Hair Transplant Warning – Let The Buyer Beware!

  In Hair Transplant / By The Bald Truth / 17 June 2010

  Follicular unit extraction (FUE) has come a long way since it was first introduced through The Bald Truth to North America by Australian hair transplant pioneer Dr. Ray Woods. Early adapters of the technique found it to be extremely labor-intensive when performed correctly, and limited by the number of grafts that can be safety harvested intact per procedure.

  During the slow evolution of this technique, several automated devices have been introduced into the mix with varying degrees of success. However, no matter which device is used to help in expediting the extraction of intact follicular units, it’s important to note that all devices are completely dependant upon the skill of the operator.

  One FUE device that has been heavily marketed and has been receiving a great deal of press lately, is the NeoGraft hair transplant machine. Unfortunately, for unsuspecting hair loss consumers, some of the claims being made by the manufacturers of this device, as well as by some practioners who have purchased the device, are, in our opinion, questionable at best.

• Hair Transplants Can Be Life Changing – But It Is Important To Find The Surgeon Who Can Make It A Positive Change

  In Hair Transplant / By The Bald Truth / 6 May 2010

  Here’s another short segment that further illustrates why hair transplantation can’t seem to get out from under the stigma created, and perpetuated by the old self-serving guard of this field. Because of all the carnage caused in the past, and unfortunately still being caused by some in the field today, potential hair restoration patients find it difficult to believe that they can achieve the type of life changing results being presented by the elite members of the IAHRS. The good news is that great results are being achieved everyday. The lesson is, make sure to do your homework.

  Listen to one shell-shocked patient’s call as he discusses his feelings of betrayal and why he now has some serious trust issues when it comes to going through with his much needed repair surgery.
