For Alopecia Awareness Month (Hair Loss Awareness Month) this September, we’re shining a light on women’s hair loss and the empowering solutions available. If you’re seeing more scalp than you’d like, we’re here to help at Plantation Dermatology.
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Steven Barilla offers NeoGraft® hair restoration as a leading alopecia treatment in Plantation, FL. Here’s how it can help restore both hair and confidence using advanced, minimally invasive technology.
How NeoGraft Works for Women with Alopecia
NeoGraft is an automated follicular unit extraction (FUE) system that gently removes individual hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) using gentle pneumatic pressure and a tiny rotating punch.
This removes hair follicles with minimal tissue trauma. No scalpels or stitches are needed, so there’s no linear scar. Grafts are stored in a sterile, cooled chamber to preserve viability before placement.
Dr. Barilla tailors the treatment to your natural hairline, placing the hair follicles where you need them, making it ideal for women who want discreet, gradual improvements. This approach is especially beneficial for women with female-pattern hair loss, traction alopecia, or thinning due to aging or hormonal changes.
What to Expect Before and After NeoGraft
During your consultation, Dr. Barilla evaluates your scalp and donor area to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. He designs a customized treatment approach based on your diagnosis, hair goals, and medical history. NeoGraft is an office-based procedure performed under local anesthesia. Most sessions last several hours, depending on the number of grafts required.
After treatment, here’s what you can expect:
- Mild swelling or redness in the treated area for a few days
- Hair shedding in the first few weeks (a normal part of the cycle)
- New growth starting around three or four months post-treatment completion
- Full results are typically visible by 9–12 months
Women receiving alopecia treatment in Plantation can expect close follow-up care with Dr. Barilla and our team. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maximize your hair regrowth.
Why NeoGraft Is a Smart Choice
- No visible scarring: Ideal for women who wear shorter hairstyles or want to avoid signs of surgery.
- Faster recovery: Most patients return to light activities in a day or two.
- Custom results: Dr. Barilla places new hair follicles to follow your natural hair growth pattern
- Long-lasting outcome: With proper care, results can last for years
Dr. Barilla draws upon his experience as a fellowship-trained, double-board-certified dermatologist to deliver exceptional results.
