I have herd lots of good and bad stories about the new Artas hair transplants.. I've attached photo's of myself just took now accept the 1 with my girlfriend.. Everyone says the cost is a 12k avg and only good results if you have a doctor that knows his [RS bleep]... So how about some help? I have not lost any major hair in years, What are my chances of good results???? Please help I'm not rich I'm a carpenter by trade so this kind of money is a stretch

Answer: ARTAS- is it worth it? Let’s clarify all of the information on the ARTAS robot. Summary is that the ARTAS is the best tool to harvest hair grafts on the market. The original ARTAS was slow and took as long as 1 hour to harvest 50 grafts!! The original iPhone had a 2 megapixel camera and 4gb storage. Since then, the ARTAS is on its 9th version- called the 9x. With this version, up to 1500 grafts can be harvested in 1 hour!! The iPhone X has a 12 megapixel camera and a processing chip faster than a high end Macbook pro did in 2007. The point here is that not all robots are the same- it is a piece of technology that has been updated and improved. In my experience with FUE, the quality of the graft and the graft yield was low. I believe most handheld FUE are probably in the 60% quality range rather than the 90% being reported. With the ARTAS, our graft yield has been high 90s which is a huge difference. The ARTAS can actually make sites which is important in patients seeking higher density. When the ARTAS makes sites it can avoid other hairs preventing 1 type of shock loss. The ARTAS as described is one important tool in the hair making decision. In my practice, every patient receives regenerative technique (PRP or growth factors), because it makes the results so much better. In some cases, miniaturized hairs can actually become terminal. The quality of the hair is also better in our experience (using quantitative software with trichoscope, our data) Best Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: ARTAS is a tool a doctor uses to harvest hairs using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. It does not ARTAS is a tool a doctor uses to harvest hairs using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. It does not mean you will get great results. One analogy would be having a fancy microwave machine for cooking. It does not mean it will cook your great meal. You still need a good chef.
