How NeoGraft® and ARTAS™ are transforming the hair transplant experience; support lasting results
Due to advancements in hair restoration techniques and technologies, regrowing a full, thick head of hair has never been easier and more comfortable. Braun Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center is pleased to introduce you to our advanced treatment options, which support hair growth and permanent results without the risk of earlier-generation systems and conventional techniques. Next-generation treatments are available today at our Alexandria, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. offices!
What are these new ways to regrow hair?
We offer two exciting hair restoration treatments:
- ARTAS®, the first and only FDA-cleared robotic hair restoration system
- NeoGraft®, the world’s leading Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant restoration system
How do these technologies work?
ARTAS® delivers natural and sustained hair growth and results with special technologies that first identify and select the ideal follicles for harvesting. The best hair follicles are harvested and distributed optimally with robotic speed and precision. The harvested hair follicles are also transferred to avoid damaging healthy, natural hairs. NeoGraft® uses FUE techniques to gently extract follicles in groups from the donor site (typically at the back of the scalp). These follicles are then implanted into balding areas.
How do these treatments compare to traditional hair transplant techniques?
Traditional transplants have generally been associated with long incisions, stitches, risks of scarring, downtime, and often undesirable and imprecise results. Our advanced technologies and skills allow us to gently lift and implant the follicles in the most precise, accurate, and non-traumatic way possible. Due to the comparatively non-invasive nature of our systems, the risks of serious side effects and complications are minimized. Downtime is also minimal. Results look great as these approaches support the survival and health of the transplanted hairs and even the distribution of hairs. Your new head of hair will look natural and not patchy.

Are the results permanent?
Yes! With these techniques, we extract or harvest terminal hairs. These hairs from the appropriate donor areas are resistant to hair loss. Once taken from the donor site and transplanted to balding areas, they will grow as healthy, fully functioning, and highly resilient hairs in the months following your appointment. Since the new terminal hairs that will grow are so resistant to the effects of hair loss, they will be sustained permanently at the implant sites. The only time these new hairs may be vulnerable to future hair loss would be significant health conditions and the therapies to treat them; for example, cancer treatments like chemotherapy.
Are these restoration techniques right for everyone with balding hair?
Many men and women with androgenetic alopecia – the leading cause of hair loss – can benefit from NeoGraft® and ARTAS®. However, there are many factors to consider when working with you to determine the next best steps to restoring your hair. These factors include the underlying causes of your hair loss, the nature and severity (or stage) of hair loss, and the number of follicles that need to be harvested and transferred to support your desired results.
