    Default Proceed with caution #1. Robot FUE depletion with no growth.

    So today we saw 2 poor results that get talked about frequently.

    First up. Robot FUE with virtually zero growth and donor depletion. This medical professional came in for a visit today with a history of 2500 robotic FUE's done in 3 hours. He has VERY wispy hairs...to the point that I would personally have not offered FUE due to the weak fragile roots...like plants in the attached video.

    He ask that I not photo the front but allowed me to photograph the donor area which is depleted. I offered him a strip repair. He's a bit gunshy...as is appropriate and hopefully will get back to us.

    Its easy for naysayers to believe some of us just don't want to do FUE. Its not that at all....its just the consumer (YOU) need to understand that 1. Robots aren't foolproof 2. FUE never works as well as strip, particularly in fine hair and 3. Even doctors get fooled by marketing.

    The video showing FUE and plants to discuss root stress is:
