INTRODUCTION TO HAIR RESTORATION
Confidence starts with feeling like the best version of yourself. For many men and women, hair thinning or a receding hairline can cause a significant loss of self-esteem and make you feel older than you are. At Celebrity Medspa by Michael Keyes, M.D., we utilize state-of-the-art NeoGraft® technology to restore your natural hairline without the invasive incisions or linear scars associated with older hair transplant methods. Whether you want to fill in a thinning crown or completely rebuild your hairline, our expert team in Hollywood, FL, is here to help you achieve full, natural-looking, and permanent results.
What is NeoGraft Hair Restoration?
NeoGraft is an advanced, minimally invasive hair transplant system that utilizes Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Instead of surgically removing a strip of skin from the back of your head, the NeoGraft device gently and automatically extracts individual hair follicles and implants them into the thinning areas.
No Linear Scar: FUE leaves no visible, continuous scar on the back of the head, allowing you to wear your hair as short as you like.
Automated Precision: The pneumatic pressure of the NeoGraft device ensures hair follicles are extracted and implanted with the highest survival rate possible.
Minimally Invasive: No stitches, no staples, and significantly less discomfort than traditional "strip" methods.
Popular Treatment Areas
Rebuilding a receding or uneven hairline to frame the face naturally.
- The Crown: Filling in bald spots or thinning areas at the top and back of the head.
- The Temples: Restoring density to deeply receded temporal regions.
- Eyebrows & Beards: Precisely implanting follicles to fill in sparse facial hair or over-plucked brows.
What are the Benefits of NeoGraft?
Many of our Hollywood patients choose the NeoGraft system for these key benefits:
- Natural-Looking: Hair is transplanted individually, ensuring the angle and direction match your natural growth perfectly.
- Permanent Results: Transplanted hairs are taken from areas genetically resistant to hair loss, meaning they will grow for a lifetime.
- Fast Recovery: Patients experience minimal downtime and can typically return to work within a few days.
- High Success Rate: The "no-touch" extraction method protects the follicle, resulting in thicker, healthier growth.
- Comfortable: The procedure requires only local anesthesia, allowing you to relax, read, or watch a movie during treatment.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
Because hair restoration requires precision and artistry, you should expect to spend a significant portion of your day comfortably relaxing in our clinic. After administering local anesthesia to ensure you feel absolutely no pain, our specialists will use the NeoGraft device to extract healthy follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the head). After a short break, those follicles are meticulously implanted into the thinning areas one by one. The procedure takes anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts required. You will be awake, comfortable, and able to listen to music or watch TV throughout the process.

Are You a Good Candidate?
NeoGraft FUE is an excellent choice for men and women suffering from male or female pattern baldness. You may be a great candidate if you:
- Suffer from a receding hairline, thinning crown, or diffuse hair loss.
- Have an adequate amount of healthy "donor hair" at the back or sides of the head.
- Want to avoid the long, linear scar associated with traditional strip harvesting.
- Prefer a minimally invasive procedure with a faster recovery time.
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations for the growth timeline.
How Much Does NeoGraft Cost?
The cost of a NeoGraft hair transplant is highly individualized and is typically calculated "per graft." Total pricing depends heavily on the extent of your hair loss and the density required to achieve your desired outcome. During your consultation, our Patient Coordinator will provide a transparent, customized quote based on the exact number of grafts you need. We also offer financing options to help make your permanent hair restoration an accessible reality.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from NeoGraft is much faster and more comfortable than traditional methods. We will provide detailed post-op instructions. To protect your new grafts, we recommend:
- Sleeping with your head elevated for the first few nights to minimize swelling.
- Avoiding strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or excessive sweating for at least a week.
- Following our specific hair-washing protocol to gently cleanse the scalp without dislodging grafts.
- Wearing a loose-fitting hat (if desired) to protect the scalp from direct sun exposure while healing.
NeoGraft FAQs
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED BY THE BEST IN MIAMI
Does the NeoGraft procedure hurt?
Does the NeoGraft procedure hurt?
No. We use local anesthesia to completely numb the donor and recipient areas. You may feel some minor pressure, but the procedure is virtually painless. Post-procedure soreness is usually minimal and managed easily with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Will the results look natural?
Will the results look natural?
es. Because the follicles are extracted and implanted individually, Dr. Keyes and our team can control the exact angle, direction, and density of the hair, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your natural growth pattern.
Is hair restoration only for men?
Is hair restoration only for men?
Not at all! NeoGraft is highly effective for women experiencing thinning hair or female pattern baldness. We also specialize in restoring over-plucked eyebrows for female patients.
Do I have to shave my whole head?
Do I have to shave my whole head?
It depends on the size of the transplant. For large sessions, shaving the head is often necessary to ensure the best extraction. However, for smaller procedures, we can often conceal the donor area without a full shave.
Are the results truly permanent?
Are the results truly permanent?
Yes. The follicles extracted from the back of the head are genetically resistant to the hormone (DHT) that causes hair loss. Once implanted, they will continue to grow naturally for the rest of your life.
