Current Advancements in The ARTAS Hair Transplant System - Dr. Craig Ziering

[PayDay]

This is an interesting discussion, but I think it boils down to if good doctors are using the Artas for FUE then the results will likely be similar to other good FUE. If bad doctors use it the results will be bad just like with any other hair transplant. Spencer says the technology keeps improving so I’m sure he will let us know how good it gets and if it eventually surpasses other FUE techniques. As it stands, it seems like it’s just a preference for a few really good doctors, but most of the FUE surgeons like Dr. Dauer, Dr. Shapiro, Dr. Cooley, Dr. Rahal, Dr. Feriduni and some other big names still prefer doing it by hand. I don’t know if economics are a real factor, but whatever the reason is, the Artas still is not the preferred method. If or when it becomes the standard of care like follicle734 says it will, I am sure we will find out on TBT first. For now I would trust the IAHRS doctors who are using it and what the guys on the show say about it. They seem to be positive about robotics getting better. If it’s true that doctors are not willing to pay for quality than that is unfortunate, but it does not seem likely to me. I would think that the better quality they provide the better it is for their business, so I don’t think that statement holds water, at least when it comes to the real quality doctors.
