Pain control is so very important for every patient. I take that concern to an extreme level. As many of you know for my conventional linear harvesting (standard hair transplant) where discomfort can be greater, we have every patient under what is known as Level 2 conscious sedation, meaning patients do not feel anything. If […]

Robots are meant to perform repeated, technically precise work that a human hand cannot perform reliably. In this case the ARTAS Robotic FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) technology does an incredible job at harvesting hairs with utmost precision in a distribution pattern that affords maximal camouflage in an individual who wants to keep his hair short. […]

I hope that by reading my last few blogs that you do not believe that the Robot is ideal for all individuals interested in undergoing a hair transplant. I still believe the majority of men and particularly women do just fine with the traditional linear harvesting method. Because the hair needs to be shaved and […]

One of the biggest barriers to having the ARTAS Robotic FUE (follicular unit excision) done is that you must shave your head down to 1 mm for the Robot to work. We will do that for you at the beginning of the procedure. Younger men who are used to wearing their hair short realize how […]

Although this blog is not intended to denigrate any manufacturer, it is intended to help the reader understand what went into my decision process to incorporate ARTAS over Neograft and other types harvesting methods for FUE. To make it very simple, there are no other methods of harvesting FUE grafts as precise as what a […]

My hair-transplant coordinator, Emina Karamanovski, was on an extended hiatus over the past year working as the national training director for ARTAS Robotic FUE System by Restoration Robotics. She did an amazing job during that time to train physicians across the United States and the world including me on the ARTAS system. Although she had […]

Emina Karamanovksi, Former Training Director for Restoration Robotics Rejoins the Lam Institute Emina Karamanovksi, a member of Dr. Lam’s hair transplant staff for a number of years prior to her joining Restoration Robotics, Inc. as their national and international training director, is rejoining the staff as a member of the FUE hair transplant team at […]

The ARTAS system is the latest in the development of the FUE (follicular unit excision) method, also referred to as FUE Hair Transplant. Traditionally, a linear strip is taken from the back of the head and if done well (which I do), the incision should not be detectable unless the hair is shorn very close […]

Follicular unit excision, also known as FUE, is a minimally invasive hair transplant procedure in which hair follicles are harvested from the back of the scalp with no incision. Newly developed, FDA-cleared, technology has been developed by Restoration Robotics, Inc. that assists hair transplant surgeons in harvesting hair follicles with minimally invasive techniques. Called the […]
