Finally at the point to select HT surgery, need advice on which one. Went to 3 consults and here is what I was informed (1) Neograft 2500 grafts..full coverage (2) FUT 2000 grafts w/PRP..coverage to front and mid, not crown (3) FUT or Artas 2000 grafts w/PRP..coverage to front and mid, not crown. Was told by #3 no major difference with coverage between Artas and FUT. Is this true? I want best result but also scared of linear scar. Was told I have good donor hair by all. Thoughts? Thanks!

Answer: FUE is a method of harvesting hair follicles. It stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. Many clinics or doctors may call it som FUE is a method of harvesting hair follicles. It stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. Artas and Neograft are just instruments that help doctors perform FUE. PRP will not necessarily give you better results.Neograft harvesting is sometimes performed by techs (not doctors) which may be illegal in certain states.

Answer: ARTAS/ Neograft Our problem using the NeoGraft machine is the suction used by the machine can damage the grafts and cause inconsistent growth. The ARTAS machine does not use the suction that can damage grafts, but the punches used with the ARTAS machine are large compared to manual FUE, which can cause punctate scarring in the donor area. If you are to go with FUE, it is best not to use these two systems.

Answer: FUT v FUE v Artas FUE? What's the best option for me? You don't give your age. It is prudent to avoid work in the crown until at least age 30, preferably longer, to assure that the pattern has stabilized. Regardless, given the amount of loss 2500 grafts will not cover the entire front, top and crown. I agree with starting with front and top (perhaps 2000-2400 grafts) and then reassessing after growth for a second procedure.

Answer: It's more about the back than the front First, you'd need more than 2500 grafts to get full coverage. It's reasonable to do about 2000 grafts in one session then plan for a second session assuming that you density in the back is good enough. The ARTAS will insure that the back of your head looks good. Not all manual FUE folks are the same. Many are good - some are bad. The ARTAS insures that the harvest is random and even. I just did a repeat case last week and you could hardly tell that the back of his head had already been harvested once! Good luck.
