As doctor explained it will be done with small mechanic Robotic ARTAS(according to him faster procedure compared to ordinary FUE, less time to heal, scarce in donor area nearly invisible and as I understood it is more precise with ARTAS). How much time will it take on average for my donor area & transplanted area to heal so I can return to work while colleagues will not understand. Approx. how much time on average will it take for the doctor to complete this session?Is one session safe for 3500?
Answer: ARTAS vs Manual...? Is one faster than the other? How about healing? ATLANTA, GEORGIA, USA Dear Dima85,In our hands the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System has been more successful and quicker than manual FUE, but that can vary from surgeon to surgeon. The punches used in most FUE devices are about the same size: 0.9mm to 1.0mm in diameter. It is not the device that will determine the final result. These FUE devices, of which there are many on the market, are simply tools...like a paintbrush. Everyone knows that no paintbrush at any price can guarantee a beautiful painting. It is the experience, dedication, and track-record of success of the surgeon and his team of assistant that will dictate the outcome every single time. So go with the best surgeon and his team, not the "best device"...In terms of healing, and getting back to work so colleagues won't notice, that is going to be quicker with a linear FUT procedure as there is far less trimming of the hair that has to be done, especially if you and your doctor are contemplating a 3,500 graft procedure, which is about as large as a procedure can get. That being said, with an FUE procedure it will take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your hair shaft caliber, your hair color, and the density of extraction with the FUE device. I hope this informatoin is helpful to you.Kind Regards,Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS, ABHRSBoard Certified Hair Restoration Surgeon

Answer: The speed of the FUE surgery is dependant on the doctor and the patient's skin/hair characteristics. The speed of the FUE surgery is dependant on the doctor and the patient's skin/hair characteristics. Speed does not relate to quality or results.

Answer: ARTAS Procedure It is not true that FUE procedures with the ARTAS robot are faster or more accurate than manual FUE performed by an experienced physician. It is also not true that there is less scarring with the ARTAS system, as the punches used by the robotic machine is typically larger than those performed manually, and will actually lead to more scarring.

Answer: Artas FUE ARTAS is more effective and efficient than any other type of hair restoration. It offers the highest degree of precision and accuracy on the market today. Manual FUE is extremely demanding and tiring. It is difficult and requires a high level of hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity. Typically, a clinician manually punches out thousands of grafts by hand. Detailed analysis of graft characteristics is extremely difficult with the human eye. There are not any automated safeguards to track previous dissection sites. Hair direction, angle, spacing and depth must be estimated visually by the operator.

Answer: FUE and the ARTAS Robot As the inventor of the robot and the pioneer of FUE, I can say with authority that there is little difference between an ARTAS and a manual FUE in terms of healing time. As I have had an ARTAS in our office for a few years, I found that we were three times faster with the manual FUE than with the ARTAS and for that reason, we sold our ARTAS. The skilled surgeon can perform manual FUE faster than the ARTAS
