HT basic questions

[Ross39]

Hi Forum Gurus,

Please help me in my case as discussed below.

My hair started thinning 7 years ago and last 3 years a visible patch can be seen now. Used multivitamins for last 5 yrs, minoxidil 5% for 2 years. Nothing has changed.

Now am thinking about HT FUE. Can someone answer my few beginner's query?

1) Is shaving hairs is required for the FUE surgery?
2) Does ARTAS have any benefits over manual FUE?
3) Can someone share what are key factors choosing HT doctor/ center?


Please share your thoughts. I am quite nervous.
