The issue is the doctor not the machine that does the surgery. Is the doctor really an expert in this field? Make sure that the doctor has his own staff and doesn’t bring in hired staff to do the surgery for him/her which is not only illegal but common with some of these systems (see: https://baldingblog.com/death-during-hair-transplant-surgery/).

The front line is very straight and seems to have two hair grafts in the frontal hairline, something that will make it look less natural. In addition, all of the grafts are lined up like soldiers, far too orderly as normal hair is randomly distributed. Did a doctor with experience do this surgery. If not, […]
As you may know, Dr. Pak and I are the patent holder inventor of two core technologies of the hair transplant robot, inventing it in 1998 and getting patents issued on them in 2006. We also hold a patent on the implanter used by Neograft so i am very familiar with this technology, originally invented by […]
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a basically a harvesting technique in hair transplant surgery. FUE is a way for doctors to “take out” your donor hair. The other method is oftern called a “strip” method or Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT). The strip method harvests the hair follicles by taking a small linear cut of your […]
Think of the ARTAS as using an electric wrench held by a robot to tighten a loose nut. The Neograft is like using an electric wrench held by a human to tighten a loose nut. A human (doctor) can just as easily tighten the loose nut with a hand held socket wrench. The results are same. It is just […]
ARTAS is a robot that harvest the graft using computerized sighting and automation. No surgical skill is needed for this. Any doctor with a degree can buy the ARTAS and start harvesting grafts. Transplanting them and having results is another story. Neograft is an instrument a human (doctor) uses to take out the graft using […]
The follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique is a simple and elegant technique conceptually, but it is highly variable or difficult in practice. Since I published my FUE article in 2002, hundreds of doctors have adapted their own automation and instrumentation. I encourage this, as one superior technique or machine may emerge. But as of 2011 […]
I did try NeoGraft on one of our known FOX negative patients and the results were not good, but comparable to what we would have gotten using our own techniques in such a patient. A quick aside, the FOX test means that we ran a small FUE test to see if they are candidates for […]
This is in response to a post from earlier this week about technicians performing most or all of FUE procedures with a NeoGraft tool: Thank you for your comments. To put it simply, no matter how minor of a surgery (suturing a cut on the skin, making a cut on the skin, or even just […]
I would agree with you. FUE performed by non-physicians is a grey area and illegal in most states. Legally, a procedure where there is a cut on the skin requires an MD to do it. There are cases where a registered nurse or a PA (Physician’s Assistant) can perform certain tasks, but it has to […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full text — Bad hair forever? Experts: It’s possible A little over 3 months ago, I posted my concerns about the NeoGraft hair transplantation tool and the fact that it was being marketed to surgeons that had no experience doing hair transplants. Well, now it seems others are finally […]
Just after I published a post about the NeoGraft tool, a phenomenon began occurring in the community. I’ve been seeing an increasing number of press releases that get brought to my attention from readers and from Google Alerts, announcing that some doctor with no experience in the art of hair restoration is now the first […]
Automation of the hair transplant process has been a goal of doctors from the earliest part of their career because of the tedious manual processes used today. In particular, with the large sessions, fatigue becomes a problem and the skill sets required of the staff take years to acquire proficiency. I have been a pioneer […]
The story is actually a press release, which explains why it enthusiastically approves of the tool. One thing I’m disappointed with right off the bat is that it claims “no visible scars” occur if this tool is used, and that is simply untrue. Any puncture made to the scalp will result in a scar to […]
If the woman actually doing the FUE in this video is not a DOCTOR, then the surgeon and his organization has broken the law in all States in the US and in most European and South American countries. I am not saying that this is the case here, but I am surprised to see the […]
