NeoGraft hair transplant in Turkey: what it is and how it works
A NeoGraft hair transplant is a form of follicular unit extraction (FUE) in which an automated, suction-assisted device helps remove individual hair follicles from the donor area. NeoGraft is the name of a specific machine, not a different kind of hair transplant. The operator uses a small hollow punch to score around a follicular unit, and a gentle vacuum draws the unit out of the scalp so that it can be collected rather than pulled with forceps. The extracted grafts are then implanted into tiny recipient sites in the thinning area, where they continue to grow as permanent hair. Some clinics in Turkey own the device and offer it alongside manual FUE and other methods.
The name appears in many searches, so this guide explains what the device actually changes, what the evidence says, how it compares with other methods, what it costs against the UK, US and Germany, and how to judge a clinic. For the basic method see our guide to hair transplant, and for the wider field hair transplant treatments in Turkey.
Is NeoGraft different from standard FUE?
The end result is the same kind of transplant: follicles taken from the back and sides of the scalp are placed at the front, mid-scalp or crown. What differs is the extraction step. In manual or motorised FUE the surgeon or technician cuts each graft and lifts it out with forceps; in NeoGraft the device performs both the scoring and the suction pull, with the operator controlling speed and pressure. The manufacturer's argument is that the automated pull reduces handling of the graft and speeds up collection. Whether this makes a measurable difference to results is not settled: the skill of the team, how the grafts are kept moist and how long they stay outside the body matter more than the brand of the instrument. For that reason, ask who operates the device rather than only whether the clinic has it.
How is a NeoGraft procedure performed, step by step?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, with the patient awake, and usually takes six to eight hours for a larger session, with breaks. The usual sequence is:
- The doctor designs the new hairline and the areas to be treated, and the donor area is trimmed, often to a short length.
- The donor and recipient areas are numbed with local anaesthetic injections.
- Grafts are extracted with the device, one follicular unit at a time, and collected in a chilled solution.
- The doctor makes small recipient sites, matching the angle, direction and density of your natural hair.
- The grafts are placed into the sites by hand, or with an implanter pen as in DHI hair transplant.
The device speeds the extraction but the planning of the hairline and the placement of grafts remain the work of the doctor and trained team.
Does a NeoGraft hair transplant work, and what does the evidence say?
Hair transplantation itself is well established: transplanted follicles keep the resistance of the donor area to the hormone that causes pattern baldness, so they normally last. For NeoGraft in particular, the available studies are limited and mostly small or supported by the manufacturer, and they show that the device can extract grafts at a good survival rate in trained hands. There is no strong independent evidence that it gives denser results than careful manual FUE. A transplant cannot create new hair; it redistributes what you have, so the result depends on the quality and size of your donor area and on how much hair is still lost over the years. A trustworthy clinic does not promise a number of hairs or guarantee a particular density.
NeoGraft hair transplant cost in Turkey compared with the UK, US and Germany
These figures are approximate ranges for one session, not hospital quotes. The clinic confirms its price in a written quote once it has reviewed photographs of your scalp.
| Country | Approximate cost range |
|---|---|
| Turkey | €1,500 – €4,000 |
| United Kingdom | €4,000 – €9,000 |
| United States | €5,000 – €15,000 |
| Germany | €4,000 – €9,000 |
What changes the price: the number of grafts, the size of the area, whether the donor area is shaved, whether a second session or an add-on such as platelet-rich plasma is planned, and the experience of the team. Charging per graft is common in some countries, while Turkish packages often quote a fixed price; check whether hotel nights, transfers, medication, aftercare products and a follow-up are included, and ask what happens if you need additional grafts.
NeoGraft, manual FUE or DHI: which technique suits whom?
All three are variants of the same transplant, so a sensible choice depends on your hair loss, your donor supply and the team's experience.
| Technique | Suited to | Typical limits |
|---|---|---|
| NeoGraft (automated FUE) | Patients wanting a shaved-donor, no-linear-scar method | Needs an experienced operator; no proven result advantage |
| Manual or motorised FUE | Most patients; flexible with graft types | Extraction speed depends on the operator |
| DHI implanter pen | Placement without pre-cut sites; in-between density work | Slower; costs more at some clinics |
No technique is right for every head, and a doctor should explain why they recommend one.
Who is a good candidate for a NeoGraft transplant, and who is not?
Good candidates are adults with a stable pattern of hair loss, enough healthy hair at the back and sides of the scalp, and realistic expectations. Younger patients in their early twenties may see further loss, so a surgeon may advise medication first. You are less suited if the donor area is thin, if you have diffuse thinning, an active scalp disease, an uncontrolled medical condition such as diabetes, or alopecia areata that is active. Men with very curly or very fine hair may need specific planning, as extraction is harder. Women with diffuse loss should have a diagnosis before surgery.
What do NeoGraft results look like, and how long does growth take?
The result is gradual. Within two weeks the scabs fall off and the transplanted hairs shed in the first one to three months (shock loss), which is a normal stage and not failure. New hair appears from about three to four months, thickens between six and nine months and reaches its final look at about twelve months, sometimes a little later for the crown. Photographs taken at one week show redness and scabs and do not represent the result. Ask for before-and-after images with dates and a similar pattern of loss to yours, and be wary of galleries that show only the densest cases.
Recovery and your trip to Turkey
Most patients stay three to four nights: arrival and consultation, the procedure, a check and first wash the next day, and then travel home. You sleep with your head raised for a few nights, avoid touching the grafts and follow the washing programme exactly. Swelling of the forehead is common on days two to four. Scabs fall off by about ten to fourteen days and most people return to desk work within a week, though a shaved head may be noticeable. Avoid sun exposure, swimming, saunas and strenuous exercise for about two weeks. The donor area heals with tiny dots that are usually hidden once hair grows back.
What are the risks of a NeoGraft hair transplant?
Hair transplantation is a minor operation, but risks exist. They include swelling, bruising, folliculitis, infection, grafts that fail to grow, a poor hairline design, visible donor-area thinning if too many grafts are taken, numbness and, rarely, a scalp reaction to the anaesthetic. Over-harvesting a donor area is the main long-term problem, because the supply is limited and cannot be replaced. Professional hair-restoration societies advise that a licensed doctor, not unsupervised technicians, should plan the procedure.
How do I choose a clinic, and what are the red flags?
Look for a licensed hospital or clinic where a named doctor designs the hairline, checks the donor area and is present throughout. Ask how many grafts will be taken, who runs the device, and what happens if growth is poor. Red flags: a quoted number of grafts before any scalp assessment, guaranteed density, pressure to book, very large sessions in one day with no limits and no aftercare plan.

Questions to ask the clinic:
- Who operates the device, and who plans and places the grafts?
- How many grafts do you plan, and how do you protect the donor area?
- What does the package include, and is a second session covered?
- How do you follow my growth after I go home?

Frequently asked questions
It is a form of FUE in which an automated, suction-assisted device helps remove follicles from the donor area. The follicles are then placed in the thinning area, where they grow as permanent hair.
Hair transplantation works well when the donor area is healthy, and NeoGraft can extract grafts with good survival in trained hands. There is no strong independent evidence that it gives denser results than careful manual FUE.
NeoGraft is a type of FUE. The difference is the extraction step: the device scores and pulls out each unit by suction, while manual FUE uses forceps. The planning and placement remain the doctor's work.
Approximate ranges are €1,500 to €4,000 in Turkey, against about €4,000 to €9,000 in the UK. The price depends on the number of grafts and the team; the clinic confirms it in a written quote.
Shedding occurs in the first one to three months, new hair appears from three to four months and the final look is judged at about twelve months. Ask for dated photographs of similar hair loss.
Scabs fall off in ten to fourteen days and most people return to work within a week. Avoid sun, swimming and strenuous exercise for about two weeks; hair growth takes up to a year.
Local anaesthetic injections are uncomfortable for a short time. During the procedure you are awake but numb, and afterwards most people feel tightness and mild soreness that standard painkillers usually control.
Transplanted hairs are taken from an area resistant to pattern baldness, so they normally last. Hair that was not transplanted can still thin, so some patients need medication or a second session.
The donor area heals with tiny dot-like marks, not a linear scar, and these are usually hidden by hair. Very short haircuts may show them, and the number of marks depends on the grafts taken.
Most patients stay three to four nights, covering the consultation, the operation, a check and first wash the next day, and travel home. Larger sessions may need an extra night.
