African American Hair Transplants - Is ARTAS The Best Choice?

[Gabe Zingaretti, PhD]

For African Americans it is not necessary to use a larger punch than the 18 g 4 prong needle ( basically 1 mm) with Artas . As long as the angle is appropriately adjusted, transection is negligible and results and healing are very satisfying to both patient and surgeon. I have over 4 years of experience with this with the Artas.

Dr. Ziering was one of our first users and I still remember our first day of training together on the ARTAS system. Great memories. He is also very close to me when it comes to R&D. He and few others are the ones that feed the R&D team with ideas and challenges.
