Artas can you shave bald?

[J_B_Davis]

Thanks, I have looked at youtube videos and some patients show no signs of scarring, very light dots, not recognized by untrained eye, even totally shaved. But cant go off videos. My doctor has performed strip scar transplants for years, has switched over to this Artas technique. Very reputable in the transplant field. I know it's risky, anyone on here that as had the artas, not happy with the growth, decided to shave? Just wondering how bad the scarring looks?

You’re right, you can not go by videos, you have to ask to meet patients in person. How long has your doctor been using the ARTAS and did he perform FUE before he got the Robot? All doctors can seem reputable, but is he on the IAHRS, it’s important that you make sure that he is. Now that alone will no guarantee results but at least you will know he is one of the best. Another thing it to ask him directly, if he says yes you can shave to a zero after FUE he does not have enough experience to perform the surgery because there is no real way of him knowing. If a consultant told you that you can shave, then you should consider another clinic. Personally I do not think you will be able to shave down to a zero having any type of fue, unless the punches are extremely small and in those cases you will not get the best coverage. I think ARTAS only goes down to a .9mm punch, so while the scarring will be difficult to see at a #1 or #2, I think you will see it at a zero.
