Thanks Bill, I understand your comments. What would be an example of an alternate type of harvesting to avoid the knife, similar to a Neograft system? And yes, I do wear hair now so a dramatic change would be hard especially in my line of work. Again this is why this type of alternate work is appealing. It may cost more, but to do this in stages would work better for me. The idea is to cut back the system and come the hair system over the transplant area.

Neograft and Dr. Allan in Calgary Hey thanks Bill. I noticed a lot of comments were back to 2009 so have you seen anything lately? I would even like to see pictures of the work. In any event, my goal is to continue to wear hair during the process. I do not expect to have a full head of hair like I did in my early twenties; however I want a hair line. I was planning to do this over three treatments to try to go back to a 5v or better (Norwood scale). In short I am ready to loose the rug, but want to bald gracefully, with a little left over. Think of the actor Ed O'Neil from Modern Family. I would be pleased with his hair line! (maybe I am setting my sights low??) I live in the middle of Canada with no surgeons here to do any of this work. The closest is a 6 hour drive, and as I want to do this in stages you can start to see my dilemma. I have emailed the Rocky Mountain Clinic and the response is very slow. I can not seem to find any additional information so I intent to phone at the end of the week if I have not received a reply to ask for references or photo's. He claims that the typical treatment is 1000 - 1500 grafts. This is exactly what I want. I do not want a couple of 5" strips cut out of my head. There is no way I could sit through that. Yes it's all "in my head" but that's the way it is for me. If any knife comes close I would need to be out cold... This procedure sounds like getting a tattoo. I like the less dramatic approach. I am sold on this idea; however I need to find some one capable. This is where I am hoping to find information and support from this forum. It would be awesome to be able to hear from some one who did this. Thanks very much for your replies and insight. This is valuable information when you live in a smaller center away from the pros. I made the mistake of going to Newark New Jersey in the late 80's to get duped into having a cheap wig sewn into my scalp so I know not to make the same mistake again. I wish this was available back then! Best Regards, and great job on this web site. Mark (Krusty)

Has anyone looked into this clinic, and any info on NeoGraft would help. Thanks Mark (New here)
