When you see the words “FDA Approved” in other company’s ads, it is our Medical Staff and Board Certified Doctors’ opinions that this is just a “Play-On-Words” for advertising purposes only. These companies are implying that their Procedure Technique is “FDA Approved" when it really means that the local anesthesia brands and medication brands used in the procedure are “FDA Approved”, which is false and misleading. These local anesthesia brands and medication brands are used in (every type of technique) for hair transplantation procedures. They are simply trying to make their ads look better. FDA means: FOOD and (DRUG), NOT Techniques!
If the follicles that the (other companies) are trying to get out of the donor area (located in the back of the head) are nicked or damaged in anyway, you are receiving a dead follicle/graft that will not grow. Thus substantially lowering the percentage rate of successful grafts growing. The same principle also applies to the FUE method and the Robotics Computer Technology methods as well. These techniques leave thousands of punch holes and/or circular scars all over the back of the head in your donor area. Those scars then make the hair in the back of the head approximately 2/3 or (more) thinner, while permanently destroying your donor area forever for future use. Again, these techniques are just a sort of smaller punch instrument like was used in the old punch graft plug days. Back then they transplanted the old plugs that had large 12 to 18 hairs causing the unsightly Barbie Doll look!
The severest disadvantage of these other methods is that it takes too much of the human factor out of the procedures.
Our procedures are done 100% by human hands and eyes with dilating your pores. The Natural depth level and precise harvesting of the follicles/grafts is critical in ensuring graft survival. If a graft is harvested too deep or too shallow then it will either compromise or destroy the follicles. Just as important is the depth level in which the grafts are transplanted into the scalp. Different size grafts need to be transplanted at different depth levels for optimum growth and survival. This precision is best achieved by humans…not false robotics!
Again, their so called Neograft and so called Robotics procedures are still giving you a 60% or less graft success rate versus our 97% plus graft success rate!
