Snippet from the press release: Read the full text — Restoration Robotics Receives $41 Million in Series C Financing We’re posted about Restoration Robotics in the past, most recently here and here. As I’ve noted before, we’ve licensed some of the optical technology to Restoration Robotics for their follicular unit extraction (FUE) harvesting system.
Snippet from the article: Read the full text at Time.com — Now, Robots Can Save You from Baldness… As Long As You’re Not Blond We posted about the FDA clearance of Restoration Robotics’ Artas® System a couple weeks ago, but with all the emails I’ve gotten about it and more articles showing up in my […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full story — FDA approves Restoration Robotics system for treating hair loss This product has limited use, as it only performs the FUE (follicular unit extraction) harvesting, not the implantation of the grafts, which is by far the most challenging technical aspect of the hair transplant process. The learning […]
Yep, the ad is requesting participants for a paid research study in Colorado. I have just had a personal viewing of the Restoration Robotics technology in my office last week and it is quite impressive. The robot only cores the grafts, then the doctor pulls them out by hand. They have not solved the placing […]
Costs for follicular unit extraction (FUE) will follow a supply/demand formula. Although many physicians perform FUE procedures, the failure rate is very high, so buying 2000 FUE grafts may mean that you purchase the delivery of these grafts, but survival may not follow the delivery because of damage done at the time of extraction. There […]
The last I heard was that they were moving forward with clinical trials on a limited basis, and a Google search reveals that they were hiring for a clinical trials manager just a few months ago (see job listing). There’s info about the trials in a posting at HairSite, although it is from about 6 […]
From the article: Read the full text at NewScientist.com – Surgical robot gives hair transplants a natural look I am well aware of Restoration Robotics. They approached me a year or so ago to obtain rights to use our U.S. Patent to perform such surgery. Dr. Pak was the engineer back in 1998 when he […]
Most consumers and patients take for granted that “board certification” implies some level of expertise and qualification of a doctor. What does it ultimately mean to you? Why do we even bother with it? Is it to advertise achievement reflecting doctors’ credentials? In the United States there are 24 approved medical specialty boards that are […]
I am the doctor who pioneered FUE between 1996-2002, publishing the first journal article on the subject in 2002 as a result of 6 years of experimental work with many cooperative patients. I am the original inventor of he hair transplant robot holding two US Patents on it. I licensed the robot technology to Restoration […]
The follicular units History: We are the modern day inventors of the FUE procedure, doing these FUE procedures longer than anyone in the world, dating back to 1995. We published the first article on FUE in 2002 (https://baldingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/mp-2002-fue.pdf) and then the rest is history as doctors from all over the world started to do them. […]
Dr. Pak was an engineer working with me (Dr. Rassman) in the mid 1990s before he went off to medical school to be a doctor . We worked to invent a system or robot which would use cameras and special optical sighting system to target a hair follicle to automatically take out a follicle using the FUE technique. This […]
The New Hair Institute has added the Artas® Hair Restoration Robot to its practice offerings (pictured above). Now, in addition to the strip surgeries for traditional Follicular Unit Transplantation, our Follicular Unit Extraction Surgeries (FUE) will include: (1) The Artas® Hair Restoration Robot, (2) the Manual FUE performed by Dr. Pak (we joke by calling […]
The folks at Restoration Robotics know about my patents for placement of grafts. I am not privileged to know what they have planned for future versions of their ARTAS system, but I am sure that they will eventually automate the placement of grafts. I don’t know how far along, if at all, they are with […]
So far, we’ve looked at the history of FUE in part 1 and graft quality/survival in part 2… — FUE Today: The FUE market may reflect as much as 40% of the total hair transplant market today. I believe that 20% of the doctors offering FUE, are skilled in the process; however, a majority of […]
