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 […]

I’m considering to get a procedure done and was wondering if there are difference between FUE procedures or are they all about the same? What are some important questions to ask when deciding on a doctor besides ‘how long have you been doing this’? FUEs vary between doctors because each doctor uses a different type […]
A brief rundown of my first ever consultation. The whole thing lasted less than 30 minutes. I filled out a couple questionnaires and then met with a “counselor.” They estimated I was a great candidate due to limited loss and strong donor hair and I would need 1500 or less grafts with FUT. I asked […]
My practice has been 100% hair transplants since 1991 (27 years). That is all we do. I built a highly specialized team of people who I have personally trained. Many have been with me for years and once they are there, they don’t leave because the environment is great, the wages are good, the results […]
I would like the bald crown filled in as much as possible without that large ugly scar from the old methods of hair transplantation. Is the FUE and ARTAS are reasonable option? I only want the best! Any hair transplant will fill in the crown. There are stip procedures and there are FUE procedures which are manual or […]
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. […]
African American’s fall into two categories of hair types, somewhat related to where their ancestors came from. Those from East African (Ethiopia for example) have curly hair but not kinky hair while many from the Western part of African have a kinky hair. Kinky hair has the ‘kink’ extending below the skin so that unlike […]
This is a photo of a female patient who had a hair line lowering and rounding hair transplant surgery. This is sometimes known as forehead reduction surgery. *CLICK TO ENLARGE PHOTO This patient did not like her square high forehead with receded corners. She thought her hair line looked too masculine. She considered a forehead […]
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) when it was popularized in 2002 at the ISHRS meeting (Follicular Unit Extraction: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Hair Transplantation) did not have a popularized name. We thought FUE (“foo-yee”) was not a very sexy name. Thus we called it FOX (FOllicular unit eXtraction). We identified many patients where FUE or FOX […]
It does seem LeBron James had a hair transplant surgery looking at the photos. I cannot say why he would choose a Strip surgery over the FUE surgery. FUE surgery certainly would have spared him of the scar. I do know that curly African American hair is also very difficult for most doctors to perform […]
Since we invented the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction’s first scientific paper written in 2002 by Rassman, et. al.), the use of this technique has become more prevalent at each and every year’s convention. What is impressive, is the inroads many physicians have made using this technology in their practice. In 2011, the Artas® Robot was […]
In the United States and most of the world, only licensed physicians can perform hair transplant surgery. Doctors make incisions, harvest the grafts, harvest any FUE grafts, and they also make the hundreds or thousands of individual incision of where the hair follicles need to go. The technicians sort the grafts and individually insert the […]
Dr Harris is my friend and he is a great surgeon. He has devised a powered blunt punch technique which seems to solve the transection problems in the hands of many doctors. There is no data on the industry average of FUE transection rate. My publication with Dr. Bernstein is the only publication I know […]
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 […]
There is a series of reasons as to why FUE2 isn’t the gold standard, and I’ll list and expand upon that to address why the traditional FUE also isn’t the gold standard: 1- FUE2 is not available at this time for commercial use. We have not proven that the FUE2 can be as effective in […]
